We developed and manufactured a prototype of a new miniature optical system that enables image acquisition of fast-moving objects and efficient autofocusing. It represents a completely new device concept within the range of machine vision devices manufactured by Sensum d.o.o.. The developed system and the acquired knowledge is useful not only for the purpose of monitoring the high-shear granulation process, but also in other applications. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no competitive machine vision device on the market for monitoring fast-moving particle bulk in pharmaceutical production.
