The world of machine vision imaging is largely performance driven. We’re looking for features on a part, finding edges, gaging, etc. 

Machine vision cables play a central role in the overall performance of machine vision systems. Those in need of robust, reliable vision results are wise to use the highest quality cables. Far too often, machine vision cables are seen as a place of potential cost savings on system design.

The cameras, lenses and illumination used in a machine vision system all make significant contributions to the overall quality of the images that are produced. The rapid developments in CMOS image sensor technology over the last few years have created significant challenges for lens manufacturers. 

Pixelink, a Navitar Company, has released their new polarization machine vision camera built around the Sony IMX250MZR Pregius global shutter CMOS sensor.

Mikrotron introduced a suite of new cameras.

Teledyne DALSA announced a new compact, low-cost vision system for multi-camera applications.

LUCID Vision Labs, Inc. announced the addition of four new Triton GigE Vision camera models featuring Sony Pregius global shutter CMOS image sensors.

Lighting selection and setup play a critical role in the success of a machine vision application. Vision systems rely on specific types of lighting to optimize contrast or to highlight a specific feature of interest. 

For quality professionals, the modern 3D smart sensor has moved to the center of conversations around quality in the automated age. Though 2D imaging remains popular, the rising affordability and strategic advantages of 3D vision for the smart factory are difficult to overstate. 

Quality control applications that require precise measurement can be some of the most challenging applications to solve. Very tight tolerance requirements demand a reliable solution that can measure parts in micrometers to detect the smallest variations in part size, thickness, orientation, placement, and more.
