Sherlock is advanced machine vision software that can be easily configured to solve a widevariety of automated inspection applications. This Windows-based graphical design environ-ment provides a rich suite of proven tools and capabilities that have been deployed in thou-sands of installations worldwide. Recognized throughout the machine vision industry, Sherlockoffers you the power and flexibility to solve your vision applications while providing the assur-ance that comes with popular product.

Workspace:Supports dockable and resizeable windows with customizabletoolbars

Editing:Drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, enhanced tool tips and statusbars, context menus, performance monitoring

Input/Output:Serial, digital, analog, file I/O, SPC, 3rd party

Communication:TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Modbus, OPC

Operator:Fully supported by Visual Basic for development of custom opera-tor screens

Region Of Interest (ROI) Shapes:Flexible Area and Line ROI selection: Rectangular, Annulus,Polygon, Torus, Circle, Point, Line, Polyline, Arc, Rake, Spoke,Rainbow, Bulls-eye

Preprocessors:Extensive set of functions that can be applied to a ROI prior toanalysis. Preprocessors condition the image for optimal perform-ance of analysis tools.

Positioning Tools:Advanced pattern finding tools are used for object alignment androbot guidance. They are tolerant of lighting variation andchanges in part position, rotation and scale.

Measurement Tools:Precise measurement tools can compute dimensions of a varietyof parts and shapes. Calibration tools correct for camera distor-tion and convert measurement units to real world coordinates.

Analysis Tools:Extensive analysis tools for finding and counting edges, extract-ing and analyzing blobs, detecting contrast variation and perform-ing statistical analysis.

Color Tools:Learn colors for monitoring, classifying, sorting, tracking, andcounting objects.

Reader Tools:Reads and verifies 1D barcodes. Reads, verifies and grades 2Dmatrix symbologies. Reads and identifies printed, molded orstamped text (OCR).

Script Tools:Using our JavaScript based scripting tool, complete with drag anddrop instruction editing, you can develop custom formulas or in-line and background operations within the application.

Custom Algorithms:Unique inspection needs may require a custom tool. Sherlockaccommodates this by allowing custom plug-ins.

tools for any application

flexible interface

the choice among vision integratorsThis automated quality assurance tool allows you to identify and correctproblems before your customers find them. It will help you improve cus-tomer satisfaction, increase productivity and reduce production costs allat the same time. In addition, if your inspection needs should change,your machine vision tool can stay the same, thus protecting your tech-nology investment.

the benefit to vision users
