Machine Vision
We integrate machine vision for inspection, measurement, guidance and traceability, and we start by proving the application works on your real parts, under your real lighting, before you commit to hardware.
01What the work involves
- Feasibility studies on your actual parts and lighting
- Camera, lens and lighting specification
- Inspection, gauging and robot guidance applications
- Barcode and traceability integration
- Integration into the line PLC and quality reporting
02Common questions
How do we know vision will work for our part?
You don't, until it's tested, which is why we run a feasibility study on your parts first. Lighting and part variation break more vision applications than camera choice ever does.
What defects can vision reliably catch?
It depends entirely on whether the defect presents as a repeatable optical difference. Presence, position, dimension and print quality are usually straightforward; subtle cosmetic variation is where the feasibility study earns its cost.
Can it tie into our quality system?
Yes: results, images and reject data can be logged out to your MES, database or SCADA layer.
Issue for construction
Have a machine vision project?
Send the drawings, the spec, or just a description of the problem. You'll get a straight answer on whether it's something we should be quoting.
