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.
The term machine vision refers to the ability of machines to visually perceive their environment. A typical setting consists of a camera for capturing the images, a cable which links the camera to a PC, and the PC which does the image processing.
Video interfaces and cabling have played a significant role in bringing new capabilities to machine vision and supporting automation’s migration into a broadening range of markets.
Technology development moves at a dizzying pace. Check the newswire, and you’ll find a list of new products that leapfrog what was heralded as the “latest and greatest” just months ago.
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.
At the time of writing, six years have passed since the launch of GigE Vision 1.0. The standard has become one of the dominant interfaces in the machine vision market and continues to grow.
