The trends in machine vision indicate a growing need for systems that can manage increased variability, function autonomously, and operate in sectors that have traditionally depended on manual inspection.

CLHS specification 1.2 recently introduced the 25 Gbps speed along with the QSFP28, SFP28, and MPO connectors. The committee has proof of concept to achieve 50 Gbps using the same IP core, ensuring an easy transition to future speeds.

Several critical components need to come together to form a machine vision system. This includes the sensor (typically within a camera) that captures a picture for inspection, the processing hardware (a PC or vision appliance) and software algorithms to render and communicate the results. In addition, lighting, staging, and lenses are required to set up a machine vision system.

Industrial machine vision cameras and sensors are finding their way into applications both on and off the manufacturing floor.

You’ve learned about light sources, lenses, cameras, camera interfaces, and image processing software. Now, you may be wondering exactly how to design and implement a complete, successful machine vision system. 

The RazerCam LS is a smart line scan camera, which is freely programmable under Linux OS. High data rates are supported by the powerful FPGA and the camera is optimized for high computing power and fast frame rates. 

Recently borescope manufacturers have been introducing high definition video borescopes to the market. It is important to understand the benefits of this new technology and what it will mean for your inspection program.
