Industrial computed tomography has changed the way in which aluminum die-cast parts are tested and measured.

Three-dimensional optical microscopy is a metrology mainstay serving needs across a wide range of industries.

The term “shaft measurement system” is standard industry parlance today, but to think of these gages as measuring only shafts is too limiting.

Bill Arbogast, our 2013 Quality Professional of the Year, almost became an architect.

There are many complexities in today’s global supply chain and taking reasonable steps to perform due diligence by minimizing risks through accurate material identification should be high on the list of priorities for both suppliers and manufacturers.

Visualize a typist stationed at every point of data entry in a manufacturing facility. Imagine a data acquisition process that is automated, error free and very cost effective.

Short wave infrared (SWIR) machine vision imaging is a key tool in manufacturing and industrial processes to measure, monitor, control or otherwise manage the reliable and quality-conforming production of goods that do not respond well to standard range machine vision cameras.

Machine vision as a subset of computer science has been around for more than 20 years.

Since its adoption in 2006, the GigE Vision standard has become a favorite of the machine vision industry, growing to more than 30% of units sold annually, according to data compiled by the Automated Imaging Association.

Frame grabbers were developed in the early days of machine vision to provide a connection from analog cameras providing NTSC and PAL output signals to minicomputers requiring digital signals placed directly on data buses for digital memory storage.
