The Olympus LC35 microscope camera makes capturing quality brightfield images affordable. With a 3.5-megapixel CMOS sensor and versatile exposure times and resolution modes, the camera’s provides quality brightfield images in a cost-effective package. Value and Performance Flexible for use with a wide range of samples under different observation conditions, the LC35 camera delivers the detail needed for routine imaging, inspection and documentation. The frame rate of up to 40 fra

The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen, Germany, has developed an interferometric measurement method that can be used to reliably measure whether thin transparent layers of paint have been applied evenly: The possibilities offered by optical coherence tomography (OCT) for measuring such paint layers will be presented at CONTROL 2022 by the Fraunhofer IPT using a prototype. OCT is a non-contact measurement technique originally developed in ophthalmology. I

ABB Robotics has launched an industry leading, pioneering software solution to transform speed and accuracy in electronics assembly. Packed with 50 years of software expertise, ABB’s High Speed Alignment software is the first to offer manufacturers the ability to increase the speed of 6-axis robots by 70 percent, and accuracy by 50 percent – significantly reducing time-to-market while increasing accuracy levels. The PC-based software includes Visual Servoing technology using one or more

The popularity of machine vision for quality assurance (QA) is increasing, but conventional systems lack the flexibility that most manufacturers need. Inspekto, the pioneer of ‘Autonomous Machine Vision’, has created off-the-shelf, flexible machine vision systems that can now be integrated into automated production lines, either specifically engineered or in standardised automation cells, to achieve end-to-end automation. In this article Yonatan Hyatt, the Inspekto’s CTO, explains the benefit

MVTec Software, an international provider of machine vision software, has announced the release the new version of its HALCON machine vision software. The highlight is the new technology ‘Global Context Anomaly Detection’, which is available in HALCON 22.05 in this form as a world`s first. As an expansion of the long-established anomaly detection technology, this new feature raises deep-learning-based fault detection to a whole new level. The new release also includes significant expansion

Joel Berkson, a third-year doctoral student in the University of Arizona James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences and Steward Observatory, has developed a new way for precisely measuring the surfaces of radio antenna, which are used to collect and focus radio waves for astronomy and satellite communications. These dish-shaped antennas must be manufactured with an extremely high level of accuracy to work well. To ensure their accuracy, engineers measure the antenna surfaces using metrology,

With their latest measuring system ‘InfiniteFocusG6’, Bruker Alicona offers a world premiere to all visitors of the CONTROL  trade show in Stuttgart, Germany: The supplier of optical measuring technology continues its successful concept in combining roughness measurements with coordinate measuring technology, presenting a new measuring instrument that scores with its unique measuring performance, future-proof technology mix, ground-breaking user experience and maximum flexibility. “Me

4D Technology has received and order for a 4D InSpec AT, a fully automated, non-contact, three-dimensional surface gauge integrated with a collaborative robot. This system will be used to measure chamfer, rounding and edge break on aircraft engine parts. The  4D InSpec , which can be used as a handheld instrument, is also compatible with automated systems like robot arms and rotary tables. Using a robot arm to measure edge break, chamfer and round-off on aerospace parts provides a subs

The SZX-AR1 augmented reality system easily retrofits to existing Olympus SZX series stereo microscopes to simplify complex microscope-based manufacturing tasks and simplify assembler training. Manuals, assembly instructions, images and instructional videos can be projected in the microscope’s field of view so that assemblers can work more efficiently. Simplified Assembly with Fewer Errors The microscope-based assembly process can require the assembler to stop multiple times to co

The assembly line in Hall M13 at the ŠKODA plant in Mladá Boleslav is one of the Czech carmaker’s busiest. The best-selling ŠKODA OCTAVIA is produced here, as is the ŠKODA ENYAQ iV electric SUV. Every minute of downtime on this line means losses in the form of unproduced cars. In addition to quality, which is of course paramount for both the company and the customer, efficient use of capacities is a crucial aspect of production. Efficient use means minimising stoppages, which in turn m

ALIO Industries has recently released a high-precision focusing stage, the AI-VC-600-Z-SCB, which is critical in such applications as Super Resolution Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, surface metrology, and industrial manufacturing and inspection applications. The precision focusing stage provides nanometer-level resolution and an extremely fast millisecond-range response. Bill Hennessey, President of ALIO Industries says,  “While microscopes have long been invaluable tools in biological

Often used for research and inline manufacturing purposes, Mitutoyo microscopes and vision systems have been a cornerstone of the market for many years. Research and testing is something that is taken very seriously for good reason, and when something needs to be observed that is too small or fragile for other methods, this is where optics come in. Previously, there were two different Mitutoyo VMU series of video microscopes that have been regularly used throughout industries for this purpose
