Better Processing Power Makes Fast and Precise Color Vision a Reality

As manufacturers today face increasingly stringent quality requirements, new and improved color vision technology provides a welcome solution.
James Mortell
December 2, 2019
No Comments

In the past, the amount of processing power necessary to perform color-based machine vision applications was often an insurmountable hurdle. Even when manufacturers did offer color vision, they would typically convert images to grayscale prior to analysis—a strategy that significantly reduces precision and fails to detect edges defined by similar colors.

Helping Robots Stay on Target

Both accuracy and repeatability are key performance characteristics that influence the robot's ability to meet a manufacturing process's needs.
Elena Messina Jeremy Marvel
December 2, 2019
No Comments

For decades, many manufacturers have counted on robots to tirelessly produce parts of predictable quality. One of the key attributes of robots is their repeatability, which means that their tool tip will return to the same pre-programmed location with a known and relatively small error.
