Advancements in Contact Image Sensor (CIS) technology are transforming machine vision. They offer high speed, resolution, and a compact design ideal for tight inspection tasks in battery and PCB production lines. With features like high dynamic range and accurate metrology, CIS enhances quality control and efficiency in modern manufacturing.
Modern vision systems need high-performance wide-angle lenses for applications like autonomous robots and agricultural monitoring. Rectilinear lenses offer straight lines and high resolution without the barrel distortion of fisheye lenses, enabling accurate object detection and real-time performance without the need for post-processing corrections.
We review the “state of the market” and discuss some established technologies that are maturing to provide value to more end users, as well as some “cutting-edge” technologies that may bear watching.
MRB Guss GmbH Herzogenburg near Vienna has been assuring the quality of iron castings with the ZEISS BOSELLO MAX 450kV machine, an investment that is paying off.
