Automotive Seat Inspection
Challenge
In automotive quality inspections, verifying the presence of dark parts against an equally dark
background is extremely common. For example, many car seats consist of black fabric or
leather material with black plastic components, such as levers and buttons to adjust seat
height and tilt.
Solution
Banner’s Q5X problem-solving triangulation-based laser sensor has no difficulty detecting
dark targets on dark backgrounds when there is a height difference. The exceptionally
high excess gain enables the Q5X sensor to reliably detect even the darkest objects
(<6% reflective black targets) even against a dark target at all distances from 9.5 cm to 2 m.
