Internal Backlit Conveyor

AccuVision

The conveyor in our range with the inspection light built in: parts ride over an illuminated belt, so the conveyor itself is the backlight.

AccuVision illuminates small parts and sensitive products for manual visual inspection and automated machine vision. We select the conveyor size, lighting, motion and mounting for your application.

Features

Engineered for the job it does every day.

Primary feature

Internal LED backlighting

High-intensity LED modules shine through a translucent belt to form a bright, uniform inspection background. It lights part profiles and appearance for manual inspection or an automated vision system; viewed by an overhead camera, products appear as silhouettes against the belt.

The modules resist damage from shock and vibration, and they operate without frequency oscillation, which supports use with high-speed digital cameras.

In practiceThe backlight is part of the conveyor, not a separate fixture, and its steady light suits high-speed cameras.

Two-minute belt change with open-stand mounting

When AccuVision is mounted on Conveyor Technologies' open stand design, the open side provides the access to remove the belt, allowing a two-minute belt change.

In practiceA worn belt is a short task on the line, not a teardown, when the conveyor sits on our open stand.

Applies with our open stand design. Stand selection and removal access are part of the arrangement. Conveyor stands →

  • T-slot accessory mounting

    Dual T-slots in the extruded aluminum side rails provide mounting points for auxiliary devices.

    In practiceSensors and other devices mount directly to the conveyor rails.

  • Low-profile construction

    At 2.28 in (58 mm) high, the conveyor body fits inspection layouts where space is limited.

    In practiceFits inspection stations and machines where vertical space is limited.

  • Sealed-for-life bearings

    No routine bearing lubrication. Belt care remains a separate maintenance task.

    In practiceBearings come off the lubrication schedule; belt care stays on it.

Maintenance at a glance

Built to be maintained, not just to run.

What servicing this conveyor involves. Where it says “set for your configuration”, we confirm it as part of the design.

Options and accessories

Three choices shape an AccuVision configuration: the light, the motion, and how the part is presented.

  1. 01Choose the lighting

    White and red LED lighting are available. We select the color and light-field width for the inspection task.

    • Metal part on an AccuVision conveyor illuminated by white LED backlighting
      White LEDs
    • Metal parts on an AccuVision conveyor illuminated by red LED backlighting
      Red LEDs
  2. 02Set the motion

    We coordinate belt speed with product presentation and camera timing.

    • Fixed and variable speed

      Fixed-speed drives run at a selected belt speed; variable-speed drives allow adjustment.

    • Multiple-speed and indexing

      Controlled acceleration and deceleration between speeds; indexing advances and pauses at working positions.

  3. 03Present the part

    Styles, tail plates and add-ons for positioning small or delicate items.

    • Styles and tail plates

      Standard and Automation styles; flip-up and non-flip-up tail plates.

    • Sensors and part holders

      Modular sensors and customizable holders for positioning and handling.

    • Side guides

      Optional guides contain products during transport.

Applications

Where it works, and how it fits.

Conveyor motion, backlighting and the camera work together at the inspection station. The low-profile body and T-slot mounting points help fit the conveyor into the surrounding machine.

Inspection tasks
Part profiles and appearance, for defects and irregularities
Industries
Electronics, pharmaceuticals and precision engineering
Environments
Cleanroom and high-precision inspection systemsCleanroom suitability depends on its class and cleaning conditions.

Camera and machine integration

Camera and control compatibility, including synchronization, depend on the proposed system.

Configured with

One conveyor, one complete system.

We design the drive, guides and stand with the conveyor, from the same modular system, so the parts are designed to work together.
