Not long ago, the cost and complexity of machine vision limited its use to specialty machines and isolated inspections. Today, however, machine vision has proven itself as a practical and affordable ...

In search of cost-effective quality control solutions, many engineers employ machine vision equipment. Sometimes overlooked is the fact that such equipment, which may have outstanding performance ...

Advanced LED lighting arrays can spectrally tune their output wavelength to highlight different features and defects in captured images. The capability enables a single light fixture to quickly adapt ...

Automation engineers must carefully manage the expectations and realities of machine vision systems to avoid project delays or failures. Misconceptions about when to integrate vision inspections often ...

A research team has recently developed a groundbreaking neuromorphic exposure control (NEC) system that revolutionizes machine vision under extreme lighting variations. This biologically inspired ...

High current density, very low thermal resistance and low-profile mean that lighting equipment manufacturers can increase brightness while reducing system size Flat LED package for easy integration ...

Machine vision plays a critical role in systems that perform surface-mount-device (SMD) mounting during PCB manufacture, as it locates PCB fiducial marks and verifies device position. In a typical SMD ...
