With Alvium 1800 U-2460, Alvium 1800 U-2040, and Alvium 1800 U-1620 Allied Vision adds three high-performance Sony fourth generation IMX back-illuminated CMOS sensors with Pregius S global shutter technology to its Alvium Camera Series.
JAI introduced the Spark Series SP-25000-CXP4A, a new 26-megapixel high performance industrial area scan camera capable of providing full resolution images at 150 frames per second.
Manufacturing industries have been striving for years for a robust quality control solution which can reliably sort out bad parts of the dispensing process without causing much production downtime. What the industry craves is a robust 3D solution that provides a 360° view of the bead regardless of the dispensing direction.
Collaborative robots helped manufacturers keep production lines running during the pandemic. They're accessible to small- and medium- sized businesses. And their simplicity just may help to shrink the skills gap.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, help humans and robots work together safely. Small, medium and large companies are increasingly choosing these human-friendly versions over traditional industrial robots, which are complex to use and are typically relegated to safety cages.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are interrelated concepts involved with computer-based learning from vast amounts of data – and then making predictions based on that information. This article will show how these technologies can provide good alternatives to traditional image processing, and how software works to make this happen.
A smart sensor is simply a sensor that can communicate to provide real-time diagnostic data and adapt based on that data. The data can be used to optimize a system, reducing costly downtime and increasing quality.
It is impossible to overestimate the critical nature of keen and constant visual inspection in any production process. That’s why an advanced vision system is vital for any of today’s advanced production lines – as well as for “yesterday’s” older and more issue-prone lines.
As of the morning of April 14, the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) is officially one association and its new website is live at www.automate.org.
