Getting Started

The SnAPP is a smart vision sensor that offers the following apps:

  • Anomaly Detector

    This app recognizes defects, debris, or otherwise faulty objects. Choose the anomaly detector when you have unknown or unanticipated defects.

  • 2-Class Classifier

    This app sorts your parts into the OK or the Not Good (NG) class.

  • 4-Class Classifier

    This app sorts your parts into two, three, or four classes. You can customize these classes any time during the training. Also, you can set a class to fail. With this option, you can create a class for Not Good (NG) parts.

  • Counter

    This app counts the number of similar-size objects in an image.

To get started, choose an app which best suits your needs. Within an app you can choose to open an existing program or create a new one. For more information, see App Management and Program Management.
