Vision Components has developed an FPGA-based accelerator for edge preprocessing of image data in embedded vision projects with MIPI camera modules. The hardware accelerator with multiple MIPI-CSI-2 inputs and outputs enables complex image processing and image data analysis. The compact board can merge data from several MIPI cameras. It manages complex algorithms and computing operations thanks to a powerful, freely programmable FPGA. The accelerator will be available early in 2022, in

Leading optical metrology innovator Zygo Corporation has developed an array of anti-vibration solutions over the years, the most recent of which is the FT-QPSI which offers a measurement mode with vibration robust performance that can be used on the Zygo Verifire MST anywhere FT-PSI can be used. Environment is a very important factor in metrology.  When measuring in the order of nanometers, even seemingly small amounts of motion in the measurement path can be significant.  Data acquis

In 2019, Schuler developed a camera-based monitoring system for presses under the name ‘Visual Die Protection’ (VDP). The system is part of the ‘Digital Suite’ in which Schuler has brought together its solutions for networking forming technology. VDP detects foreign objects or other sources of danger in real time and stops the press before damage occurs. With the ‘VDP Analyzer,’ Schuler is now presenting a further development that can also get to the bottom as to the causes of faults.

KELCH has launched a new and extended version of the horizontal KENOVA set line H343, a networked tool presetter with many additional options. The new design for tool identification and tool measurement is optimised for successful mid-budget automation and networking. It is therefore also suitable for process optimisation, for the introduction of Industry 4.0 processes into small and mid-sized companies or for integration into a smart factory. “The new version of the unit means that w

Taylor Hobson has announced the launch of its LUPHOScan 850 HD ultra-precision non-contact 3D surface form measurement system designed to perform measurements of rotationally symmetric surfaces such as aspheric lenses, spheres, flats and slight freeform optics. Key benefits of the profiler include fast measurement speeds and high flexibility with regard to uncommon surface shapes including flat apexes or profiles with points of inflection. Pushing Boundaries of Large Optics Metrology

FRAMOS and GrAI Matter Labs (GML), a pioneer of brain-inspired ultra-low latency computing solutions, have united at the VISION 2021 exhibition to create Life-Ready AI for Industrial Vision Platforms. This project is based on FRAMOS’s D435e Industrial Depth Camera and GML’s GrAI VIP (Vision Inference Processor) and was formed to advance vision application development in robotics, automation and IoT-connected manufacturing. The Life-Ready AI for Industrial Vision Platforms will be built

Xposure:Photometry, developed by the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), is a fast inline 3D surface scanner realised by a high-speed smart camera. It is designed for optical inline surface inspection tasks common in many industrial manufacturing processes. Conventional 2D scanning methods cannot distinguish between pseudo defects – dirt on the surface of the manufactured part, for instance – and actual 3D defects such as scratches, ridges, spikes, pinholes or wrinkles. At the same

Since their inception 150 years ago, all conventional video tools have represented motion by capturing a number of still frames each second. Displayed rapidly, such images create an illusion of continuous movement. From the flip book to the movie camera, the illusion became more convincing but its basic structure never changed. For a computer, this representation of motion is of little use. The camera is blind between each frame, losing information on moving objects. Even when the came

Over the past decade, digital holography has evolved into one of the fastest and at the same time most accurate methods for recording the surface topography of components in the production line. A survey article by Fraunhofer IPM scientists in the journal ‘Light: Advanced Manufacturing’ describes how this came about. A wide variety of industrial applications of digital holographic sensors is presented – from the first installation in the manufacture of sealing surfaces for the automotive

Boosting efficiency through digitalization – almost no branch of industry can evade it. Also operators of press shops are increasingly networking their production. But, regardless of whether it’s a single press or press lines, it’s not always necessary to replace the entire plant in order to stay up to date. Avoidance of incidents by checking the position of components Retrofitting existing lines, true to the principle of ‘sensible evolution instead of cost-intensive revolution’, i

Optical metrology provider Zygo Corporation has announced that it will be revealing its Verifire Asphere+, which represents the latest addition to the company’s Verifire series of laser Fizeau interferometers, at the  SPIE.OPTIFAB event  18-21 October 2021 in Rochester, NY, USA. The Verifire Asphere+ ( VFA+) builds upon the success of the Verifire Asphere Interferometer, which was made specifically for fast, noncontact, high-resolution 3D metrology of aspheric surfaces. The VFA+ lev

Applied Materials, Inc. has unveiled a unique eBeam metrology system that enables a new playbook for patterning control based on massive on-device, across-wafer and through-layer measurements. Advanced chips are built one layer at a time, and each of billions of individual features must be perfectly patterned and aligned to create working transistors and interconnects with optimal electrical characteristics. As the industry increasingly moves from simple 2D designs to more aggressive m
