Machine vision solutions can measure the volume of food dispensed during product assembly to ensure food portioning. 3D displacement sensors provide highly accurate 3D volume measurements specifically designed for food portioning. 3D calibration allows manufacturers to set food portioning and cut points during processing to ensure that portions are uniform and consistent. Cognex 3D displacement sensors are factory calibrated to detect 3D food products. The Cognex 3D laser displacement sensor can scan the dimensions of individual portions to determine if the portion meets the pre-programmed specifications. Visual inspection and volume measurement can be performed after scanning.
