Departments Inside Vision Image Capture Central Industrial cameras are the core component of many machine-vision and image-processing systems. Snapshots Vision enables greenhouse automation To improve efficiency and reduce labor costs in it greenhouses, a Dutch horticultural company installed inspection stations based on smart cameras to check the size and health of coconut palms. New Products Vision + Automation Products The M-810 electromechanical micropositioning system is a high-force six-axis hexapod. My View Will history repeat itself? Technological innovation caused widespread consolidation in the computer graphics industry—is the same thing in store for machine vision? Worldwide Industrial Camera Directory Machine vision and concurrent processing inspect automotive parts Polydec is a leading supplier to the global automotive industry, manufacturing tens of millions of micro-axles every month. Smart lighting choices increase image contrast Today’s machine-vision applications demand a great deal of lighting components since the better the image quality, the greater the chance of properly measuring or detecting features within the image. Multifunction test targets are used to test and calibrate imaging systems In the past, verifying the performance of an imaging system required using a number of calibration targets. Telecentric lens-based machine-vision systems profile diamond grinding wheels Diamond grinding wheels are widely used for precision mechanical component finishing in aerospace and automotive applications. Software uses geometric primitives for bin picking In automation and handling engineering, feeding of work pieces between different stages of production can be improved by automation. Wireless vision systems reduce cable costs At the International Conference for Vision Guided Robotics, held in October in Novi, MI, Eric Hershberger, a senior engineer with Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT; Orion, MI, USA;) described a prototype vision-based robotics system based on wireless technology.
