Faster and easier to use than their predecessors, today's machine vision systems can solve a host of manufacturing problems
What do you get when you combine a camera, proper illumination, a computer, and image processing? A vision system that improves productivity and product quality in manufacturing applications by doing things better than humans. Machine vision can accomplish tasks that humans cannot perform-or carry out those tasks at a higher confidence level than humans.
The electronics and semiconductor industries, where shrinking part/component size and blazing production speed rule out human handling of tasks such as inspection and assembly, has driven most advances in ...
