Composite materials combine particularly beneficial properties of their components. For this reason, they are used extensively in industrial applications. However, the inhomogeneous structure of the material must also be taken into consideration.
USB is the most prevalent method to connect computers and peripheral devices. Taking a survey of my desk there are a multitude of devices—a smartphone, headphones, a camera, mouse and keyboard—that rely on a USB connection.
Thanks in large part to its ease of use, USB dominates consumer-to-computer connectivity applications and is being rapidly adopted across other markets.
When you are setting up a machine vision system, your choice of camera will depend on the objects that you want to inspect, the necessary speed, lighting and temperature, and available space. And not to forget—the system costs.
3-D imaging is integral to machine vision, dating back to 1960 when Larry Roberts wrote his PhD thesis at MIT on the possibility of extracting 3-D geometric information from the standard 2-D views.
IDS Imaging Development Systems is building upon the success of its USB 3.0 uEye CP series of machine vision cameras by introducing three new models with lightning-fast USB 3.0 technology.
ALTHOUGH THE VIDEO INTERFACE IS A SMALL PART OF THE OVERALL VISION SYSTEM, IT HAS A LARGE IMPACT ON THE USABILITY, COST AND SCALABILITY OF THE FINAL PRODUCT.
