UNPRECEDENTED SPEED, ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY

With Albatros 2 Champs revolutionised the software 'engine' of its Optical Control Systems. The software has been developed and tested to allow multi-parameter optical controls on machines with working speeds of more than 1000 pieces per minute and tolerances contained in the hundredth of a millimeter.

AN MVTECH HALCON ENGINE

Albatros 2 replaces and improves the management and analysis system of the scanned image. The bookstores of Halcon Mvtech, on which Albatros leans, provide powerful and comprehensive tools for image processing. Thanks to the automatic parallelization, reentrancy, and multithreading functionality, the image analysis is performed between 2 and 20 milliseconds (also in the presence of many complex controls and analyses such as control of thread at 360 °) by enabling unprecedented working speed.
With the new software based on Mvtech Halcon, Champs confirms its commitment to offer its customers tools that define the state of the art of Machine Vision in the industrial sector.

MANY CONTROLS BUT ALWAYS A SUPERSONIC SPEED

Albatros 2 uses both the potential of the Halcon code and the multicore architecture of the current CPUs to constantly optimize the computing time of the software. Using a metaphor the new software behaves like a highway that multiplies the lanes when the traffic increase and, at the same time, a vector that multiplies the couriers to reduce the delivery times of a set of articles.
Similarly Halcon uses 'automatic parallelization' to automatically divert threads to free cores, preventing processes from being queued, Reentrancy, and Multithreading to allow simultaneous computation of the units of code used To the analysis of the parameters on the same image. The time processing of an image with multiple parameters therefore no longer corresponds to the sum of the calculation times of each individual parameter but at the time prevented by calculating the most complex parameter.
Unlike most popular vision software, the speed of analysis does not increase exponentially as controls increase but is solely determined by the more complex control.
The extreme rationalization of the work of the software allows Champs to develop the fastest and most precise control machines . This brings an advantage in terms of performance that becomes more and more significant as the Optical Control Units and the complexity of controls increase.

MUCH MORE THAN A SOFTWARE UPDATE

The extraordinary potential of Albatross 2, in terms of speed and precision, also implies the use of adequate hardware support: rapid-acquisition cameras, special illuminators to allow the reduction of exposure time keeping the same opening and depth of field, GigE Vision transfer protocols, appropriate computing units. With Albatross 2 Champs brings on its own control machines an unrivaled vision system that combines Software and Hardware of excellence.

EASY TO USE

Instead, the intuitiveness and simplicity of the use of the Albatros user interface, from which it is possible to monitor, set the desired settings, manage the operation of the machine, visualize, download and synchronize with its own ERP I Statistical data automatically generated by machines.
