Machine vision systems help today's manufacturers improve quality and productivity.
With widespread adoption of quality standards such as ISO 9001 and increased pressures for "cost-down" automation, manufacturers in a broad range of industries have incorporated machine vision technology into their overall quality management practices. Vision systems are helping today's manufacturers improve quality and productivity by automating a variety of part inspection tasks with tremendous accuracy, speed and repeatability. At the same time, vision systems generate valuable inspection data at each step of the manufacturing process that quality engineers can use for statistical process control.
