Vision & Sensors

Machine vision lighting is a broad topic but a short article can be useful because some core concepts are not widely known. We’ll start with three core statements.

We review the “state of the market” and discuss some established technologies that are maturing to provide value to more end users, as well as some “cutting-edge” technologies that may bear watching.

In this article, we review key standards that currently exist and provide an overview on recent updates and potential changes that will impact and benefit users of machine vision technologies. We also look at the work of various organizations to understand how their standards may impact the machine vision market.

Computational imaging technology has found its way into industrial automated inspection, where the creative use of illumination components has emerged as an enabling technology providing valuable imaging capabilities.

As the field of machine vision grows, it becomes increasingly important to understand what makes a machine vision system work well.

A look into some of the latest trends in machine vision, in terms of both technologies and applications.

The phenomenal rise of collaborative automation systems over the past decade or so has seen collaborative technologies deployed on a growing number of quality control applications. Collaborative automation enables companies of all sizes to improve throughput and reduce cycle times on inspection tasks.

Manufacturers are now embracing the move to the digitization of their production processes. Many initial project goals are very narrowly focused around removing manpower, manual errors, and running 24/7 to improve total output. These are all worthy goals for sure. Yet, this approach leaves many facets in their overall process often overlooked. There are critical questions that must be asked.

Teledyne DALSA announced the all-new Genie™ Nano-10GigE M/C8200, and M/C6200, based on Teledyne e2v’s 67M and 37M monochrome and color sensors.

Smart Vision Lights (SVL) announced the release of its JWL150, the first in the new Camera-to-Light (CTL) series.
