Vision Systems Design 2017 Innovators Award: expert for high-precision CIS scanners receives prestigious award for VDCIS Industrial Scanner
Friedberg / Chicago, 5th April 2017. At this year“s Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards, Tichawa Vision won Gold for their new VDCIS Industrial Scanner. The VDCIS, a high-precision CIS (Contact Image Sensor) intended for industrial quality control, convinced the jury with its outstanding qualities and its high level of innovative energy. Dr. Nikolaus Tichawa, CEO of Tichawa Vision received the award personally at the Automate 2017, the largest trade show for automation technology in North America.
VDCIS impresses with outstanding qualities
Tichawa Vision received the prestigious award for its newest product, the VDCIS Industrial Scanner. The CIS system is designed for the surface inspection of food products and blister packaging as well as products made of glass, wood, metal, plastics and ceramics. Its special feature, a CIS sensor, has increased the depth of field to 16 Millimeters from the previous 0,5 to 15 Millimeters. „It enables the CIS sensor a more in-depth view“, explains Dr. Nikolaus Tichawa. „It can determine, for example, whether any pills are missing in the packaging, or inspect the prints on cans, bottles and other cylindrical objects.“
Due to its very compact design, the VDCIS can easily be installed into production machinery at minimal expense. The sensor can be equipped with an optional scanning width of 300 to 1.800 Millimeters. The VDCIS comes with an adjustable resolution (500 to 1.000 dpi) as well as the lighting combinations RGB and monochrome. „With its outstanding qualities the VDCIS product range can tap into completely new areas of application like the inspection of food products, loose goods or Direct-to-Shape-Prints“, explains Dr. Nikolaus Tichawa-
„The whole Tichawa Team is pleased to receive the Gold award. This distinction has strengthened our commitment to continually develop optimal solutions for the automated quality control of industrial parts.“ says Dr. Nikolaus Tichawa. „This was the first time we applied for the award and we won right away.

Proven CIS technology
Tichawa Vision GmbH develops and manufactures Contact Image Sensors (CIS) for inspection of flat materials as an alternative to conventional line cameras. The CIS includes in one housing a reading guide line, an optical system, and a light source for high-precision applications, e.g. the printing business. On the know-how of those cameras Tichawa has developed a wide range of cameras for applications in industry. Tichawa Vision configures ready-made and well proven function blocks in a short development time and thus build cameras at extremely favorable costs. This principle offers high reliability in design as concerns power consumption, functionality and size.
