Optical measurement refers to noncontact measurement using various light sources. It usually requires at least one lens, a light source and a detector. 

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a term used to describe interconnectivity in relation to factory automation. The term captures the complex interrelationship of smart hardware feeding actionable data over a network, in order to drive deep learning systems toward optimized factory output. 

Titan Tool Supply, Inc. announced the introduction of its new TVS-35 Series Videoscope to provide remote visual inspection for aviation maintenance, casting and cavity inspection, diesel and gasoline engine repair, or locomotive and ship maintenance. 

Today’s innovative landscape is introducing sophisticated technologies for vision guided robotics (VGR) at a rapid pace, expanding robot functionality for diverse markets. Next-generation imaging systems, combined with the availability of more compact, highly efficient and less expensive robots, sensors and technologies, are allowing the implementation of robotic solutions for a wider range of applications, especially for small- to mid-size manufacturers. 

While fairly new to the metrology world, multisensor machines are becoming increasingly popular on shop floors for their unparalleled versatility.

Do you need to build a system with an imaging component and are you wondering about the simplicity and functionality of CoaXPress? Perfect, because that is the topic of this article.

Mitutoyo America Corporation announced the release of the Quick Image CNC (QI-C), the latest addition in the Quick Image Series of 2D vision measuring systems.

The term machine vision can imply a computer having a set of eyes for an inspection. To develop a complete solution for machine vision applications, vision engineers execute a series of tasks that usually fall into five categories: plan, design, build, integrate, and validate.

As computer systems and cameras become faster and more powerful, vision systems are finding their way into increasingly diverse applications. So what’s better than one super powerful camera solving the world’s problems?

Starrett Kinemetric Engineering, Inc., a subsidiary of the L.S. Starrett Co., announced the all new HDV500 digital comparator that combines the features of a vision metrology system and an optical comparator.
