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 ...

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 ...
