An ingenious solution for code verification on 3D objects with irregular geometries

Due to the often complex 3D geometry of the products, it can happen that the applied code lies in an indentation. Other areas of the component may also be higher than the code level and create shadows. Such a position of the code makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to achieve the correct and correct position for a qualitative measurement and assessment of the code quality.

The challenge is that the code plane has to be aligned at an angle of 90° to the camera of the code verification system and the distance must always be the same. In the best case scenario, the code symbol is in the center of the camera's field of view.

The solution for such measuring tasks consists partly of the REA VeriCube with a diffuser and a camera module that focuses on a measuring distance of 15 mm above the standard measuring surface of the REA VeriCube.

The second part of the solution is the new height-adjustable stand, into which the VeriCube can be installed fast and conveniently. This allows the verification system to be aligned to the component with high precision. The focus distance of +15 mm to the device allows a correct measuring position to be achieved, even for components with difficult geometry. The REA VeriCube can be flexibly adjusted and swiveled to achieve the most accurate measurement results.

The threaded spindle with handwheel is used to easily and precisely adjust the height of the REA VeriCube in the stand when the verification system is mounted in the holder. The fixed adjustment prevents independent adjustment and facilitates the qualitative assessment of the codes to be measured.

If simple label or folding carton measurements have to be carried out, the REA VeriCube can be removed from the stand in a few simple steps and is ready for use for overlay measurements in no time at all.
