Due to the vast number of imaging lenses that are available on the market, actually choosing a lens for a given application can be a daunting task. Part one of this article covered the most common types of lenses used for machine vision.

When several devices need to be accurately sequenced in a machine vision system, the usual solution was to program a PLC to generate the necessary signals. However, a PLC is a significant investment and requires specialist knowledge to program the Relay Ladder Logic. 

Emergent Vision Technologies launched The Accel Series, 25GigE Line Scan cameras. The EVT Accel Series by Emergent Vision Technologies is the first ever to utilize the 25GigE interface standard. 

Available in single and double-camera models, Shimadzu’s TRViewX non-contact digital video extensometer offers high-accuracy elongation measurements compliant with ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and JIS B7741 Class 0.5 standards, and supports temperature-dependent measurements within thermostatic chambers. 

Digital microscopy has created a lot of buzz in the field of microscopy and there are some facts that are useful to know. We have been often asked about digital microscopes by users familiar with the traditional stereo and compound microscopes. Here are comprehensive answers to the most frequent and important questions.

This white paper explains the main aspects of ISO 10360 and, in particular, ISO 10360-7, the standard for inspecting coordinate measuring machines with imaging probing systems. Learn why ZEISS chose this standard, how this standard benefits customers and what you need to keep in mind in the implementation.

Hexagon AB introduced the Leica BLK3D – a compact 3D handheld imager that improves productivity by enabling immediate and precise 3D measurements from any image it captures.

JAI announced the availability of two additional interface types in the company’s line of 3.2 megapixel 3-CMOS prism-based area scan cameras. 

Industrial computed tomography has been a buzz-worthy technology for several years, and NDT experts know it’s a valuable tool for inspecting the complex internal geometries of 3D-printed parts, or for finding porosity in both additively and traditionally manufactured parts.

Shimadzu’s micro-focus non-destructive x-ray testing and inspection systems are widely used in many areas of research and development for morphological and structure alternation analyses, and for quality control purposes related to preproduction inspection, failure analysis, and lot inspection.
