Vision software
05 April, 2006The NI Vision 8 development module is a comprehensive suite of vision software tools that engineers, integrators and machine builders can use to improve system efficiency and increase quality control in the manufacturing process. The Vision 8 development module combines a collection of vision libraries with acquisition software for thousands of cameras, including those based on the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connection standard, all optimised for common programming environments like NI LabVIEW and Microsoft C++, Visual Basic and .NET. In addition, the Vision 8 development module includes new algorithms for golden template comparison, optical character verification (OCV) and data matrix grading that are designed to help engineers identify packaging and assembly errors earlier in production.
Video inspection
05 December, 2005SciTech has announced the release of a video inspection system with metrology software from PAX-it. Users can turn the PAXcam microscope digital camera into a powerful video inspection system, by using PAXcam and the PAX-it live measurement module and quickly and repeatedly collecting and recording dimensional measurements. PAXcam with live measurement is a comprehensive non-destructive visual inspection solution.
PresencePlus P4 Edge 1.3 vision sensor
05 December, 2005The PresencePlus P4 Edge 1.3 vision sensor from Banner Engineering Corp makes detailed automated error-proofing and inspections possible at what is claimed to be a fraction of the cost of comparable vision sensors. The P4 Edge 1.3 uses a 1280 x 1024 pixel imager (1,310,720 pixels) to capture minute details of multiple features at ranges from a few inches to several feet, depending on the lens used.
