Machine Vision
In the past, Human eyes did what no machines could do:
locating and positioning work, tracking the flow of parts, and inspecting output for quality and consistency.
Today, the requirements of many manufacturing processes have surpassed the limits of human eyesight. Machine Vision provides manufacturing equipment with the gift of sight.
