The Tichawa Vision VUCIS combines a built-in intelligent programmable ultra high speed Illumination Controller with a wide choice of illumination colors and geometries to get the best possible images for conventional or AI based Image Processing. The Illumination Controller is built around a phase sequencer and a Color Mix Table, both completely under user control. […]
4 methods for the inspection of pipes, tubes and profiles Tichawa Vision offers five CIS products for the inspection of tubes, pipes and profiles. Inspection on the outside: Why CIS? There are a lot of Line Scan Camera solutions available for image acquisition of rotating objects. However, if you want to inspect a pipe with […]
In the future, Tichawa Vision will manufacture the sensor boards in-house The heart of our products are the sensor boards. These carry the sensor chips, which scan the image in a similar way to a line scan camera. The difference to a line scan camera is that many sensor chips have to be lined up […]
For the RingCIS with adjustable focus the design and construction is completed. From now on it is possible to use the same RingCIS for different tube diameters. For lines where different types of tubes are processed you can use your quality control with only one RingCIS. This requires only a simple adjustment of the head when […]
Tichawa Vision has now expanded the product portfolio for inner diameters from 3 mm. For this, we use a very compact camera with a cross-section of only 1 x 1 mm. The immersion depth for the cameras can reach up to 2 meters, depending on requirements. This enables the BoroCIS to inspect the inside of long, […]
Tube or pipe bottoms come into focus. The field of view for the BoroCIS has been significantly expanded. In addition to pipe or tube inner walls, the BoroCIS can also scan the bottom in parallel. This means that even more information can be obtained in a single immersion process. Now scratches, foreign bodies, coating gaps and […]
What is the difference between Tichawa CIS technology and conventional CIS technology? Tichawa sensors have many new features. These include gapless sensor technology, longer working distance, inspection of round objects, vacuum capability, support for Shape From Shading technology,… and more. Gapless inspection: A long sensor line (up to 4m) requires many sensor chips to be lined […]
BoroCIS now also with “look-through” option for inspecting also the tube shoulder or the bottom of the borehole Our worldwide unique BoroCIS enables optical scanning of the inner surface of tubes, pipes or boreholes from 10 mm diameter. This makes it possible for the first time to inspect 100% of the inner surfaces. The high […]
Inline Solution for the Detection of paint defects, chips, bubbles, latex on the inside of a tube. In the EU, 16 billion tubes are produced every year. 90% of these are used in the pharmaceutical, personal care and food sectors, where high quality is essential. Customers tell us again and again that they have been […]
Tichawa Vision is participating at Control 2022 again after a long break due to Corona and will present the RingCIS. What is a RingCIS? The well-proven CIS (Contact Image Sensor) bent into a “tube” results in a RingCIS. Of course, it’s not so simple! Our engineers have adapted Tichawa Vision’s proven CIS technology to the requirements […]
