The Nova pico/midiCam2 is a SensorApp designed for the SIM2x00 product family, enabling advanced machine vision capabilities when paired with a picoCam2 or midiCam2 2D streaming camera. This solution supports precise inspection tasks by providing tools to verify the presence and accurate measurement of features on manufactured parts. To operate fully, the system requires either a Quality Inspection License or an Intelligent Inspection License. The Intelligent Inspection Upgrade License unlocks deep learning-based image analysis, allowing for more complex, adaptive inspections that go beyond traditional rule-based methods. This makes it ideal for applications where detection of irregularities or subtle defects is critical. With its integration into existing automation systems, the Nova pico/midiCam2 delivers reliable and scalable vision performance across a range of industrial inspection scenarios.
The Nova pico/midiCam2 leverages advanced machine vision technology to perform dimension, contour, and volume measurements. It enables accurate 2D and 3D position determination, ensuring precise alignment and quality control during production. The Quality Inspection License provides a comprehensive toolset for verifying the presence and exact dimensions of features on products. With the Intelligent Inspection Upgrade License, powerful deep learning tools are available to solve inspection challenges that cannot be addressed using conventional rule-based logic. These tools offer adaptive pattern recognition and anomaly detection capabilities. A 2-hour trial period is available per reboot without an active license, allowing users to evaluate performance before committing to a purchase. This technology requires a vision sensor equipped with a color imager for optimal results.
The Nova pico/midiCam2 supports measurement functions including dimension, contour, and volume analysis. It enables both 2D and 3D position determination to ensure accurate part alignment and quality verification. The system operates with a minimum screen resolution of 1,366 px × 768 px for optimal display performance. All inspection tasks are supported through the Quality Inspection License, which ensures precise presence and measurement checks. The Intelligent Inspection Upgrade License adds deep learning capabilities that allow for intelligent defect detection beyond rule-based logic. These features are only available when paired with a vision sensor that includes a color imager. No additional hardware or software modifications are required to access these functions once properly licensed.
The Nova pico/midiCam2 is configured as a SensorApp for the SIM2x00 product family, requiring integration with either a picoCam2 or midiCam2 2D streaming camera. The system functions seamlessly within existing automation environments through standard communication protocols. A color imager is required in the vision sensor to support full inspection functionality. Licensing is essential—either a Quality Inspection License or an Intelligent Inspection Upgrade License must be activated for operation. The Intelligent Inspection toolset offers a 2-hour trial period per reboot without license activation, enabling evaluation of deep learning capabilities before purchase. No additional hardware or software installation is needed beyond the sensor and license setup.
The Nova pico/midiCam2 operates within standard industrial environments designed for reliable machine vision performance. It requires a vision sensor with a color imager to function correctly. The system performs optimally under typical production conditions, including controlled lighting and stable ambient temperatures. While specific environmental ratings are not provided in the documentation, its design supports integration into automated lines where consistent image quality is essential. The application of the Quality Inspection or Intelligent Inspection License ensures that inspection tasks remain accurate and repeatable across varying operational conditions. Performance depends on proper sensor alignment and adequate illumination to maintain image clarity.
The Nova pico/midiCam2 is ideal for industrial applications requiring precise quality control, such as product presence verification, dimensional accuracy checks, and contour analysis. It supports monitoring and controlling production quality through automated inspection of manufactured parts. Use cases include detecting missing components, verifying correct part dimensions, and identifying surface irregularities. The 3D position determination capability enables accurate alignment in assembly processes. With deep learning tools available via the Intelligent Inspection Upgrade License, it can detect complex defects not visible to traditional methods. This makes it suitable for high-precision manufacturing environments where consistent product quality is critical.
