Machine Vision Systems
A machine vision system consists of computer hardware and software working together with cameras and lighting to capture images of objects for the purpose of making a quality control decision. When the image is captured and stored in memory, it is algorithmically compared to a predefined image or quality standard in an effort to detect defects or anomalies.
This machine vision technology can be applied in a number of different applications and in the case of the PPT VISION range from AIS, is tailored specifically for use in manufacturing applications. Using machine vision technology for purposes of inspection and quality control enables manufacturing companies to prevent defective products from being shipped to customers and to improve their manufacturing processes and reduce costs. Commercial use of machine vision technology for manufacturing quality control began to emerge in the early 1980s. Machine vision systems at that time were complex to program and maintain, difficult to install, limited in performance and not cost-effective.
Through advances in microprocessor and software technologies, these barriers have been dramatically reduced in recent years, enabling machine vision to emerge as a powerful process control technology that enables manufacturers to improve quality and increase productivity. PPT VISION’s machine vision based smart camera solutions are primarily targeted at providing manufacturers with 100% inspection in high speed, discrete part manufacturing applications. This typically replaces older off-line random sampling techniques or human vision inspection techniques as a means of monitoring quality. Therefore, IMPACT machine vision based smart cameras are a key technology in enabling manufacturers to achieve zero defect production.
Benefits of Machine Vision Systems
Eliminate defects – With vision, you can 100% inspect your products to ensure that they are error free.
Quality is improved – Sample testing can be replaced by 100% inspection.
Automate production – Machine Vision enables efficient use of manufacturing lines by allowing production equipment the ability to automatically locate and identify items.
Machine Vision systems provide the most reliable visual inspection results with the added benefits of inspecting in dirty, rough, industrial and hazardous environments that may not be safe for human inspections.
Track and identify parts – Vision can be used to automate tracking of parts and products by reading 1D and 2D barcodes.
Cost Reductions – Using vision can dramatically reduce waste by detecting process errors early.
Vision Sensors

DataVS1 The DataVS1 vision sensor series is the easiest solution for machine vision applications. The setup does not require a PC and it is very quick and intuitive thanks to the VSC unit, the external configurator with 3.5″ colour display. The sensor setting is carried-out through three simple steps: region of interest definition, control type selection, parameter adjusting. DataVS1 is able to carry-out many different kinds of control such as presence/absence verification, position, object counting and OCV. |
