Mr. Sam Cohen, EVS CEO, said:
“Liba customers will be able to en-
joy the state-of-the-art solutions
by EVS to increase efficiency and
productivity in the manufacturing
process, using EVS leading product
IQ-TEX 4. IQ-TEX 4 is a fully inte-
grated image acquisition & process-
ing system built on EVS’ propri-
etary Smart Vision Camera (SVC)
platform. This latest EVS innova-
tion utilizes high resolution color
line scan technology and enhanced
Defect Sorting Algorithms (DSA),
to achieve unparalleled defect detec-
tion and interpretation”.
With the capability to detect de-
fects <0.1 mm in size, at speeds of
up to 1,000 meters per minute, the
IQ-TEX 4 is designed to provide
Vision Empowered Monitoring
(VEM) at each stage of manufactur-
ing. From process or defect specific
applications to the final inspection
of finished products, this solution is
tailor-made to meet each customer’s
individual needs. Its narrow profile
and modular frame allow for seam-
less integration into virtually any
operation.
Karlheinz Liebrandt, Liba Manag-
ing Director, said: “Quality require-
ments for the production of textiles
in the composite industry are perma-
nently increasing, and that’s the case
not only in aerospace. Our machine
customers do ask for more complete
and integrated system, to assure any
upcoming quality standards in their
production. Based on the co-opera-
tion with EVS, we can fulfill these
needs with the latest state-of-the-art
technology.”
EVS offers a broad portfolio of
automatic state-of-the-art visual
inspection systems for both in-line
and off-line applications, and proc-
ess monitoring systems used to im-
prove product quality and safety, as
also to increase production efficien-
cy. EVS’ systems are used by over
650 customers, mostly leading glo-
bal companies.
