| Simple Setup |
 |
Checker is simple to set up and operate — no training is required. Checker guides you through these quick and easy steps to get you up and running in minutes: |
|
The Simple Answer
Checker works reliably on the fastest production lines in the automotive, consumer products, food/beverage, and general manufacturing industries. |
 |
Presence of piston rings
Checker helps automotive part suppliers error-proof their products, such as reliably detecting the presence of piston rings. |
|
 |
Presence of weld nuts
Checker helps error-proof the automotive manufacturing process. Here, Checker verifies the presence of weld nuts, even with the auto frame not precisely fixtured. |
|
 |
Cap, label, and date code presence
Checker is used for many presence-sensing applications in the food and beverage industries. In this application, Checker verifies that the cap is on, and that the date/lot code and label are present. |
|
 |
Packaging registration
Checker can detect patterns and provide deterministic output timing. Here, Checker detects a pattern on this packaging material and ensures properly-timed cuts — no registration marks are required. |
