In many machine-vision applications, LEDs have begun to replace halogen bulbs as the lighting source in fiber-optic light guides. Carl VanDommelen, business manager for machine vision for Schott North ...

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 ...

Increasing machine-vision resolution to inspect ever smaller circuit features triggers the need for increased frame rates to maintain production throughput. Higher frame rates, in turn, require ...

Manufacturing stands at a crossroads where traditional methods intersect with the promise of advanced technology. Machine vision, once a specialized field, is now central to transforming factory ...

Machine vision systems serve a vast range of industries and markets. They are used in factories, laboratories, studios, hospitals and inspection stations all over the world—and even on other planets.

Fig 1. Advanced CCD color image sensors like the Genie (a) and Boa (b) cameras from Teledyne Dalsa represent two of the new machine-vision color imagers that perform industrial inspections and ...
