For quality assurance purposes and to optimize the manufacturing workflow, machine vision is employed throughout the entire process to identify production errors, damage, or impurities early on.
We sat down with Carole Franklin, director of standards development at A3, to talk about the importance of safety standards for robot systems and the different requirements needed to ensure safe deployments.
Teledyne FLIR announced the Lepton UW, a micro-thermal camera module with an ultrawide 160-degree field of view (FOV) that is small enough to fit on the tip of a finger.
Smart Vision Lights (SVL) introduces the JWL150-DO Lightgistics Series light, now with Hidden Strobe technology, which delivers the benefits of strobing without the distraction and disorientation associated with LED strobe lights.
Emergent Vision Technologies introduces a new 10GigE line scan camera, the PACE LR-4KG35. Through its 10GigE SFP+ interface, the camera reaches a top single line rate of 172KHz.
Today companies record process trends digitally. However, analysis is still conducted in much the same way, with operations staff manually identifying trends. Enter artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
No matter the industry or application, all machine vision systems require light – whether visible or non-visible – to capture images. High quality output relies on high quality images, which require adequate lighting.
