Optical Identification Terminal - Use and application areas
The Optical Identification Terminal, or OIT system for short, is an optical
identification system that employs methods of industrial image processing and is
used in automated manufacturing processes, especially in harsh ambient
conditions, where the use of code carriers with electronic components is made
difficult or even impossible by cyclic temperature changes, for example. For the
high temperature OIT identification system, read only tags of solid metal plates
with a perforated matrix are applied, which are designed for use in temperatures
up to 500°C and suitable for high mechanical stress. Simple installation and
commissioning without complicated, time-consuming TEACH-IN processes
enable rapid entry. Pluggable connections for the rapid exchange of devices and
a controller with simple command set via the Ethernet interface guarantee simple
operation. A scratch-resistant, replaceable quartz glass panel and sturdy metal
housing make the OIT a robust, efficient identification system.
Figure 4.1
The OIT system is integrated in a single compact component: The camera,
illumination unit and a DSP board for digitalizing and processing captured image
information are enclosed in one housing.
Metal plates with a unique perforated matrix are attached for the identification of
individual objects. The perforated matrix stamped into the metal plates contains a
code carrier ID, which is detected by the identification system, processed digitally
and transmitted to a computer via a network interface.
Data such as the type designation, lacquer color, etc. can be determined for each
identified object using the code carrier ID. The OIT system is mounted directly in
the system so that the code carriers are detected successfully.
