Machine-Vision

Machine vision (MV) is the application of computer vision to industry and manufacturing. Whereas computer vision is the general discipline of making computers see (understand what is perceived visually), machine vision, being an engineering discipline, is interested in digital input/output devices and computer networks to control other manufacturing equipment such as robotic arms and equipment to eject defective products.

Featured Equipment
The original Smart Sensor was designed to be easy enough for anybody to use, and our color model shares the same characteristic. The ZFV-C Color Smart Sensor is designed with the same Target, Teach, Go simplicity as the original ZFV.
Other Equipment
Factory Automation Systems has a proven track record of successful machine vision applications in a wide variety of industries using different technologies. Some examples: A robotic machine-handling process which used machine vision to perform orientation, identification and code reading tasks. Line cameras and diffuse on-axis lighting were used. A robotic palletizing application which used machine vision to identify, locate and pick up objects in dynamic positions while moving on a conveyor.
Machine vision cameras perform the function of capturing an image and transferring it in real-time to an external processor (typically a PC) for image processing. These cameras have many specialized features that make them suitable for industrial inspection like triggered image acquisition, software control of all the camera settings for image acquisition, industry standard interface for image transfer to the PC, rugged mounting provisions, and tested for operation in industrial environments.
