Like the fighter pilots in the classic movie “Top Gun,” machine vision applications have always had a “need for speed.”

Camera manufacturers exhibit new products from March 17-19, 2015 at Vision China in Shanghai.

Whether an automated machine vision system measures a spark plug’s gap, locates an assembly line item, reads 2D code, counts parts, checks for flaws or performs a host of other tasks, it is running at a greater speed and higher resolution than ever before.

Optical metrology is a crucial tool used in industrial automation to increase productivity and quality levels via 100% inspection rates.

Not only is modern manufacturing increasing production speeds, but machine vision is being applied to ever more demanding applications that were not feasible before today’s high-speed components became available.

In macroeconomics there is a concept called utility. According to Investopedia, “utility is the aggregate sum of satisfaction or benefit that an individual gains from consuming a given amount of goods or services.”

Photron, Inc. introduces the ultra-high-speed imaging system, the FASTCAM SA-Z, featuring 21,000 frames per second at megapixel resolution.

The growing push for more functional cameras and systems that are compact have made the use of cameras that have multi-scan functionality more and more interesting.
