Vision Systems Simplify Automated Inspection

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Nate Holmes, National Instruments

Vision is not a new technology for production lines, as cameras have been used for automated inspection, robot guidance and sorting machines for many years. However, systems are becoming more complex, and today’s performance requirements are more rigorous. Continuous improvement in processor technology is advancing throughput for vision systems, as image processing is no longer the bottleneck in many production environments – but with increased speeds, synchronization becomes a key challenge. The vision system is just one piece of a multisystem puzzle that must be...Read full article

    positioning
    Positioning generally refers to the determination or identification of the location or placement of an object, person, or entity in a specific space or relative to a reference point. The term is used in various contexts, and the methods for positioning can vary depending on the application. Key aspects of positioning include: Spatial coordinates: Positioning often involves expressing the location of an object in terms of spatial coordinates. These coordinates may include dimensions such as...
    gige
    GigE, short for gigabit Ethernet, refers to a standard for high-speed Ethernet communication, capable of transmitting data at rates of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), or 1000 megabits per second (Mbps). GigE is an extension of the ethernet family of networking technologies, which is widely used for local area network (LAN) communication in homes, businesses, and data centers. Key features and characteristics of gigabit Ethernet include: Speed: GigE offers significantly higher data...
