Metaphase Technologies will be presenting on “Lighting Considerations for Line-Scan Imaging” at the Vision Spectra Conference on July 20th at 1:40 pm EDT! Austin O’Neill, senior member of Metaphase’s applications engineering team, covers the process of successfully implementing a line-scan system from start to finish. He discusses the advantages of line-scan systems and the hardware necessary to get the most out of your system. Starting with the part, O’Neill talks about best practices for line-scan systems, as well as how lighting can affect an application. Lastly, he goes over some of the nuances and common aspects to keep in mind when speccing out the lighting for machine vision. Register now to watch the virtual presentation on July 20th at 1:40 pm.
Lighting and illumination suppliers must keep up with camera advances to ensure the appropriate choices are available to systems integrators and end users. The variety of options help customers address the myriad challenges that exist for specifying proper illumination. Camera technology moves fast, and lighting and illumination providers work to keep pace with these developments. They also have various tools they can offer to help systems integrators and other end users ensure they specify the proper lighting for their applications—as early in the process as possible. “Lighting components and their selection and integration play a crucial role in any vision system: good lighting, together with other vision components such as the camera and lens, is required to achieve the best possible results from your vision system,” says Emi Noffz-Eguchi, Product Market Manager, Companion Products at Basler AG (Ahrensburg, Germany; www.baslerweb.com). “Faulty lighting cannot be compensated for by any other component. Therefore,…
Trends and Lessons From the 2021 Machine Vision Market POSTED 12/10/2021 | By: John Lewis, Contributing Editor Every year for close to 40 years, machine vision users and systems integrators have been leveraging better imaging, optics, illumination, and software. And 2021 is no exception. Even though machine vision is a relatively mature technology, decreasing component, software, and engineering costs, combined with increasing ease of use and application expansion, continue to drive healthy revenue growth for component and system suppliers serving the machine vision market. Compared to 2020, the robot and machine vision markets made substantial gains in the second quarter of 2021 according to a recent Association for Advancing Automation (A3) report. While robot orders in Q2 2021 were up more than 67% compared to Q2 2020, the North American machine vision market grew by 26% to $764 million. More than half of the robot orders came from non-automotive industries, including metals…
