DataVision is a trading activity of the Hoogendoorn Group. For many years, we have been the leading vision distributor in the Benelux region.
What Vision can mean for you! Vision can be described as the discipline in which ‘the computer gains eyes’. One of the most common vision applications is the inspection of manufactured goods such as semiconductor chips, cars and pharmaceutical products. Today, vision systems are also used in non-industrial environments such as sports, opticians, behavioural and kinetic analysis, trans-reality and 3D scans. Regardless of the application, vision systems are compiled of components such as digital cameras, lenses, lighting and image processing software. DataVision is the biggest distributor of these vision components in the Benelux region. We supply clients with everything they need to set up a vision system, including technical support. To make this possible, we work closely with various international A-suppliers. The vision projects are implemented at the client by a network of certified Integration Partners. A striking example of such a project is that of a producer of plastic rings that are used in the sealing mechanism for office files. The producer wanted a guarantee that the files could stand up to intensive daily use, year after year. The challenge for DataVision was to check the 5-millimetre rings for defects and sharp edges with a speed of at least 600 parts per minute. Fast, sensitive digital cameras were needed to produce clear, sharp images during production. This is achieved with two AVT cameras. The images produced are quickly analysed for burrs and irregularities with HALCON software for image processing. Defective parts are automatically rejected and removed with compressed air before they reach the next test station. Our client can guarantee the most demanding customer that each individual ring that leaves the factory has been 100% checked. For them, perfect quality of the millions of small white rings was well worth the investment in a vision system.
