In a domain where microns and millimeters matter, efficient quality inspection and metrology processes can make the difference between consistent, successful production runs and labor-intensive failures.
Battery manufacturing quality in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important with the growing popularity of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.
As a technology, automated inspection has transformed the manufacturing industry, In addition, automated inspection is used in life sciences and pharmaceuticals, where its applications can range from reducing the probability of cross-contamination to identifying abnormalities in cells.
Lighting represents a crucial consideration when designing and specifying a system, as it is fundamental to image quality. Understanding how lighting impacts the rest of the system lays the foundation for system success.
Camera sensors and new machine vision applications tend to drive parallel advances in optics, and optics suppliers must continually evolve as machine vision technologies progress.
CLHS specification 1.2 recently introduced the 25 Gbps speed along with the QSFP28, SFP28, and MPO connectors. The committee has proof of concept to achieve 50 Gbps using the same IP core, ensuring an easy transition to future speeds.
Automated quality control systems improve the manufacturing process efficiency and effectiveness while simultaneously reducing the potential for human error and boosting the final product’s overall quality — and robotics and sensors play a critical role.
