Optical metrology is crucial for precision in industrial quality control, especially in automotive and medical sectors. Unlike the human eye, cameras depend on pixel resolution for edge detection, making optics selection essential. Telecentric and endocentric lenses offer distinct benefits and limitations, helping professionals make informed decisions.

Enhance your machine vision systems with optical filters! Discover how colored glass and interference filters can boost contrast and performance while learning their benefits and limitations.

Zygo, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc., announced that two of its distinguished team members, Dr. Peter de Groot and Dr. Vivek G. Badami, have been recognized by the American Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE) for their significant contributions to the field of precision engineering.

Camera sensors and new machine vision applications tend to drive parallel advances in optics, and optics suppliers must continually evolve as machine vision technologies progress.

Jenoptik announced that the company’s industrial metrology portfolio will now be presented under the familiar brand name Hommel-Etamic, with a new market appearance, enabling a more focused customer approach.

Marposs, a leader in measurement, inspection and test technologies, has announced the acquisition of Jenoptik’s (Jena, Germany) non-optical process measuring technology business for grinding machines, formerly known as Movomatic. 

Machine vision enables new and exciting advancements in industries and fields of research across multiple disciplines. 

In this application case study, we look at how a manufacturer of precision optical manufacturing and metrology equipment uses collaborative robots and a new robotic gripper/caliper to provide a solution that helps its customers optimize quality control measurements in the quality assurance area of their factory.

The official definition of “machine vision” encompasses all industrial and nonindustrial applications in which a combination of hardware and software provide operational guidance to devices in the execution of their functions based on the capture and processing of images. In short, machine vision helps companies manufacture quality goods, repeatably.

Garbage in, garbage out. It’s a term born in the early days of the computer and computer programming. The phrase, and its popular acronym, GIGO, are said to have been taken from the business strategies of LIFO and FIFO—last in, first out and first in, first out—as it pertains to inventory management.
