As a solution to detect cracks which are not visible by eyes, two other camera options can be considered.

Software Difficult to detect cracks

It is challenging to adjust the triggering interval

to prevent reading the same image twice.
options can be considered. Below given the comparison between three camera models and their special functions.

SR-X series (SR X300, SR X100)

(Code reader)
AutoID network Navigator

Application selection: Here we can select the application as "Stationary

code,Moving code, presentation mode and code quality verification.

Can set the exposure time, Cell size and the line speed.

Duplicate Reading Prevention Interval :This function is only used when the
reading mode is set to "Continuous." This function prevents duplicate reading of
the same code.
The same code will not be read until the specified length of time passes.
This function is important when we detect the leaves when they are on the moving
conveyor belt.

Can Output read data to Excel: Customers need this function in order to have a
record of leaf data.
AutoID network navigator output read results as a report.

XG -X Series

4* Memory capacity

High processing speed

XG-X vision Editor

Variable Processing: (A wide range of variables can be

defined, including image, positional linear, numerical and
array based. Variables are not limited to a single program.

Flexible calculation and processing: Allows over 150

different functions and commands that can be quickly
created by dragging functions from the parts list.

Advanced interaction with vision controllers.

Ultra high speed 3D shape measurement : Can be a

solution to detect invisible cracks

Inspect in all demensions with a single device: stable

inspection is possible using intensity information from the
2D image, as well as the 3D height information. Defects
based upon height inconsistency can be measured or
extracted.

#VALUE!
Low contrast inspection: Changes in 3D shape or volume
can be easily detected.
Line scan camera: Large-capacity images with a valid pixel
count of 67 megapixels(8192 × 8192 pixels) are transmitted
at 368 ms, 16 times faster than
conventional models. Inspections requiring multiple area
cameras can be performed with just 1 line scan camera
and under uniform lighting conditions.

Edge defect inspection tool optimised for burr and flaw

inspection. :This tool extracts a profile from the edges of a
workpiece and recognises the sections that show a large
difference from the profile.
#VALUE!

Defect detection tool:(Appearance inspection tool that
offers superior detection stability) : It includes grouping
filter settings- After taking images of flaw detections as an
group, it is possible to extract only images of the defects
that we want. If only long thin defects need to be detected
With these tools it is posible to detect
the cracks as well as holes. And with
edge effect tools can detect the leaves
with damaged outlines.

According our application learning tool cannot be used.
Recommended tools to be used:
Color prohibit tool
