Cognex Corp: Calibrated 3D Machine Vision Inspection
April 29, 2013
The DS1000 3D laser profiling system calibrates real-world units of measurement for inspections too difficult to perform with traditional two-dimensional machine vision.
The new sensor reads embossed or raised characters such as those on automobile tires, verifies the presence of low-contrast items in boxes or packages, identifies surface defects and chips with low or no contrast, measures heights and tilts of components to determine misalignment and calculates volumes and dimensions for food portioning. The sensor is factory-calibrated to provide real units of measurement with micron-level accuracy, making 3D applications easier to understand and deploy, and is integrated with VisionPro software, which enables users to add GigE cameras for 2D inspection tasks. The unit is an integrated system; a proprietary high speed sensor and laser are both enclosed in an IP65-rated industrial housing.
