Verisurf metrology software helps Space Exploration Technologies maintain precision in the shop and on the launch pad for its vehicle development and launch services.
Recent advancements in optical technologies are enabling manufacturers to perform dimensional measurements on more kinds of parts, more quickly and more accurately.
With higher bit rates becoming the norm for inspection systems, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) is increasingly being considered as a means to keep pace of sensor technology. However, what are the implications of using 10 GigE?
Color is the manifestation of light from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is perceived by an observer and is therefore subjective-two people may discern a different color from the same object in the same scene. This difference in interpretation also extends to camera systems with their lenses and image sensors.
Human and machine vision use an object’s edges to locate, identify and gage the object. This tutorial will give a better understanding of how edge detection-or finding and measuring edge positions-works in machine vision, where it can fail and what level of precision to expect.
Built in partnership with General Motors and the Oceaneering Space Systems of Houston, NASA’s Robonaut is the second generation of highly dexterous humanoid robots designed to work alongside humans and execute simple, repetitive or dangerous tasks on Earth or on board the International Space Station.
In March, I had the opportunity to attend Automate 2011 at the McCormick Place in Chicago, which several of you may know as the former International Robots, Vision & Motion Control Show.
