Machine Vision Systems

At the forefront of manufacturing innovation, Industrial machine vision systems utilise advanced technologies to analyse and interpret images and video data, enhancing quality control, boosting operational efficiency and optimising resource allocation. 

Simple machine vision uses 2D area scan cameras for flat image analysis or line scan cameras for continuous inspection. More advanced systems employ 3D cameras for depth analysis and infrared thermal imaging cameras to detect and identify patterns in temperature variations.

Machine vision increasingly incorporates AI and machine learning algorithms, enabling real-time decision-making and adaptive responses to dynamic environments. The capabilities of machine vision are typically categorised around: guidance, identification, gauging and inspection (GIGI). Practical applications include:

Guiding and positioning robots

Vision-guided robots (VGRs) and automated machines use images for navigation, accurate picking and micron-level positioning — all in real time.

Quality control: detecting defects

Machine vision is able to detect minute flaws, poorly assembled components and contaminants — and to accumulate this data to support continuous operational improvements.

Identifying components and counting objects

With a high degree of accuracy, machine vision is able to verify the presence or absence or components and to count objects — key functions of inventory management.

Measurement and gauging

Machine vision is able to assess the dimensions of a machined part to verify that it adheres to specified tolerances prior to approval for assembly.

Reading printed text

Machine vision systems are capable of reading printed text in milliseconds, with 99.99% accuracy, using optical character recognition (OCR) and optical character verification (OCV).
