Line scan camera improves vision system resolution to identify 0.25 mm holes, voids, and breaks in screen-printed antenna traces. When screen-printing silver ink antennas onto automotive glass, clogged or stretched screens can cause partial breaks, full breaks, or thinning of the trace. Sometimes there isn’t enough ink, or there are bubbles in the ink, which… Continue reading Line-scan camera-based machine vision system detects antenna trace defects on automotive glass

Smart vision system ensures 100% cylinder bore inspection
Machine vision and deep learning technologies help to automate bore cylinder coating inspection process. As the main part of a combustion engine, cast cylinder blocks act as support for the complete engine structure and consist of several holes called bores in which components are mounted. One of the larger-diameter bores in the block are those… Continue reading Smart vision system ensures 100% cylinder bore inspection
Edge device uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf components for deep learning inference
Inference involves the use of a neural network trained through deep learning that makes predictions on new data. Inference is a more effective way to answer complex and subjective questions than traditional rules-based image analysis. By optimizing networks to run on low-power hardware, inference can be run on the edge, eliminating dependency on a central… Continue reading Edge device uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf components for deep learning inference
3D machine vision guides robotic system for logistics e-fulfillment
Turnkey order-picking industrial robot cell is first fully automated system of its kind at DHL In many traditional e-commerce fulfillment warehouses, depalletizing, picking, and order-fulfillment functions are performed manually.
