Expanding Traditional Machine Vision With High-Speed Digital Imaging

Machine vision is a proven process control tool for a variety of industrial automation applications. Traditionally, this technology integrates commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) imaging sensors, lighting modules and processors to guide, inspect or identify parts as they move along production lines. Compared to human operators, machine vision systems are fast, accurate and repeatable—improving product quality, lowering scrap rates and increasing productivity in fast-paced manufacturing environments.
