SCoT (Smart Component Tester)

Description The Smart Component Tester (SCoT) by Berghof Testing tests components at the end of the production line using 3-D scanners instead of industrial cameras. This is the first time that an optical inspection for correct assembly and completeness works without scattered light, contrasts and reflections. Another 3-D scanner inside the Berghof system determines the exact position of the test item on the short, linear conveyor belt and transfers the information in real time to the robot gripper arm for pickup. This saves space, time and costs; the system no longer requires complex and expensive conveyor technology, based on workpiece carriers. The tester can be used very flexibly and changeover times for switching out test sample variants are completely eliminated.
