Technical Overview

Castell's QuadCam brings 3D imaging to the world of machine safety. This technology allows fast accurate detection of objects moving in and around machinery. Positioned above machinery where it can't be tampered with, QuadCam monitors out of the reach of machine operators and maintenance workers, thus allowing easy access to machinery when necessary.

Sample QuadCam Application

By using 3D imaging, QuadCam solves problems experienced by older technologies that are currently used to protect employees from dangerous machinery. QuadCam ignores background objects, concentrating solely on people or unwanted objects detected within its field of view.

Major Advantages

User Defined - Allows simple configuration via PC user interface, which can be dynamically modified as processes change. No more hassle reconfiguring safety equipment!

Modular Design - With a single QuadCam control box, 1 to 10 imagers can provide protection for machinery. Each imager protects an 8x10 foot area, and as production processes change, more imagers can be added to meet safety needs.

Configurable - The QuadCam controller can quickly be configured to meet the safety necessary for any application. From the PC user interface, quickly set I/O and safety zones to protect your dangerous areas.

Fast, Safe Access - QuadCam provides fast access to machinery requiring maintenance by eliminating the need for mechanical access or barriers. The 3D safety zone provides unobstructed access to promptly fix problems and minimize maintenance downtime. This results in increased productivity for your processes!
