What are the applications of vision sensors?

     Vision inspection systems for vision sensors provide image-based automated inspection for a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications. While 2D and 3D vision sensors are not a new technology, they are now commonly used for automated inspection, robot guidance, quality control, and sorting.

     These intelligent detection systems are equipped with one or more cameras, even video and lighting. Vision sensors can measure parts, verify that they are in the right position, and recognize the shape of the part. In addition, vision sensors can measure and classify parts at high speeds. Computer software processes images captured in the course of an attempted assessment to capture the data.

     Vision sensors provide simple and reliable inspection with powerful vision tools, modular lighting and optics, and an easy-to-use setup environment. Vision sensors are intelligent and can make decisions that affect the function you are trying to evaluate, usually by triggering an operator to take action through a failed signal. These systems can be embedded in production lines to provide a continuous flow of information.

     Vision sensors are commonly used in industrial plants and processes to maintain product quality and check whether operational efficiency has been achieved. Bar codes, blot or stain detection, size and alignment, and many other features can be determined without any contact. Let's take a look at some specific ways vision sensors can be used in engineering and scientific processes.

     Check the text printed on different colored glossy bags: Vision sensors can be used to check the expiration date printed on red, gold or silver glossy bags. Character extraction performance on packaging, even for targets with different background colors, can be recognized without changing Settings. The light source can be irradiated more evenly, ensuring stable detection even for uneven or shiny workpieces.

     Recognize the encoding date and time in the string: The vision sensor checks the encoding date and time in the string as well as the expiration date. Quality control strings that include dates and times can be identified by automatic updates using the calendar function. Date or time changes identified from the production schedule do not require changes to camera Settings.

     Applications of vision sensors include but are not limited to the following: high-speed product inspection (quality control), measurement, calculating quantity, sequencing, positioning, decoding, robot guidance and other applications. The benefits of vision sensors are enormous, and many processes that involve manual inspection can use vision sensors to maximize efficiency. Industries already adopting vision sensors include food packaging and beverage bottling; Automotive, electronics and semiconductor assembly; And pharmaceutical companies. Common tasks for vision sensors include robot guidance, pick and place processes, and counting. Railway companies use vision sensors for automated rail inspections on high-speed trains.
