The latest version of Void Scanner is fully developed, engineered and manufactured under the Renishaw brand. Following major investment in new production and servicing facilities at Renishaw’s York, UK, site, Void Scanner comes with world-class production values and global support to match.
3D imaging means different things to different people. While 3D imaging has been around in some form for decades, technological advances have brought it to new applications, thanks in part to improvements in image sensors, standardization of interface technologies and increased demand for new solutions for more complex imaging needs.
3D imaging brings more detailed analysis and insight to manufacturing and quality inspection processes where depth information can help verify proper assembly and detect surface defects.
If something exists that really has the ability to multitask, then it would be a machine vision system: they inspect, guide machines, control sequences, identify component parts, read codes and deliver valuable data for optimizing production. And this all can be carried out at nearly the same time.
There are often many possible ways to solve a specific vision task. In some cases, the choice of either 2D or 3D vision is obvious, but in other cases both technologies could work though each provides certain benefits.
Industry leaders and users of NSI’s NDT technology presented their key learnings and discoveries on how they have used industrial X-ray and computed tomography equipment and software, and the results of their findings.
3-D imaging is integral to machine vision, dating back to 1960 when Larry Roberts wrote his PhD thesis at MIT on the possibility of extracting 3-D geometric information from the standard 2-D views.
