Process monitoring and fault detection
Powder bed-based laser melting (PBF-LB/M) opens up new possibilities in additive manufacturing. Modern camera systems provide crucial process data to further increase quality and efficiency.

The 'CS-62' vision sensor from di-soric is around three times faster than its predecessor, the 'CS-60'. In combination with the 'nVision-i 25.1' software, it enables image processing solutions that were previously reserved for smart cameras.

Sensor solutions for industrial robotics
At Automatica, Sick will be focusing on the wide range of solutions for functional safety and industrial image processing as well as digital approaches such as augmented reality and AI.
Automated thermal imaging cameras are often suitable for quality control applications where temperature plays a role. However, while there are various solutions on the market for slow processes, it is challenging to select a camera that reliably detects every defective product in a high-speed application in an automated production plant.
MVTec Software and Siemens have expanded their collaboration in the field of industrial image processing. Siemens has been an official member of the MVTec technology partner program since May 2025.
For quality control and correct handling of indexable inserts, a manufacturer uses an automated system with AI-based image analysis that detects 99% of all manufacturing errors.

Hexagon will be presenting products from its range of measuring machines and measuring robots at Control. These include SmartScan VR800 (image), the first zoom-capable structured light scanner with optical zoom projection and two stereo cameras, according to Hexagon.

Reflectcontrol sensors from Micro-Epsilon use phase-measuring deflectometry to precisely analyze reflective surfaces.

Together with VisCheck, Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme relies on AI-supported image processing to automate the quality control of tool blades. By using a collaborative robot, the inspection runs around the clock, while a digital twin saves all measurement results.
