Integrating vision into a manual assembly process
Clear Vision Systems (CVS), manufactured by Kautex Textron CVS Ltd are designed to keep vehicle headlamps or the sensors used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems clean from dirt, dust, frost, snow, and pollution.
The tubing assemblies used in these systems are constructed completely by hand. To ensure the highest quality standards and efficient production, Kautex integrated a complete vision system as part of the assembly process.
Direct interfacing of smart 3D vision system with robots
The use of small to medium-sized collaborative robots for factory automation applications is growing at a rapid rate. Many of these applications are pick-and-place, so the robots require machine vision to visualize the scene, process information to make control decisions and execute precision-based mechanical movements.

Bin picking technology broadens subsystem capabilities for Industry 4.0
With the recent acquisition of Infaimon S.L., a leading provider of software and hardware for machine vision and robotics, STEMMER IMAGING has extended its ability to supply subsystems for smart factories and Industry 4.0.
The Infaimon InPicker 3D bin picking system can use a variety of 3D imaging techniques such as passive stereo, active stereo or laser triangulation to recognize and determine the position of objects randomly piled up in a container and directly interface with a variety of robots.

New shape from shading design simplifies integration
With a flat illumination system and integrated light controller for automated generation of lighting sequences, the new CVS trevista FLAT allows easy integration of ‘shape from shading’ inspection for machine builders and integrators. It provides topographic surface defect information down to the micron level as well as suppressing brightness fluctuations and gloss effects on reflective materials. The compact design and long working distance can easily accommodate stationary or moving parts and difficult surfaces such as glass rotary plates and cylindrical as well as sheet materials.

New robust lens for 1.1" sensors down to 3 μm pixel size
The Schneider-Kreuznach Xenon-Opal 2.8/12 compact lens can be used with 12 MP resolution 1.1” sensors such as the IMX253 and IMX304 with pixels down to 3 μm. The maximum chief ray angle of 6° causes close to zero shading on the sensor. Robust mechanics and precise centering and field curvature correction provide sharp and highly stable images, even mounted on a robot arm. The 400 - 1000 nm broadband AR-coating allows use with LED illumination from blue light to NIR.

Genie Nano CoaXPress cameras built for speed
Offering 16 or 25 MPixel resolution monochrome or enhanced NIR CMOS sensors, the new Genie Nano-CXP cameras from Teledyne DALSA can deliver 80 fps at 25 Mpixel resolution.
The small form factor, robust build quality and wide operating temperatures are combined with an exceptional feature set at a highly competitive price point. They have been designed to work synergistically with the half-length Xtium-CXP frame grabber to minimise CPU usage and improve processing times.

STEMMER IMAGING announces major updates to CVB machine vision programming library
The release of CVB 2019 introduces new APIs to provide an innovative way of developing machine vision solutions with Common Vision Blox, together with an impressive range of new tools. These tools provide functionality for hyperspectral and polarisation imaging, as well as OPC UA machine to machine communication capability for Industry 4.0 requirements. In addition it is now possible to develop machine learning solutions on embedded platforms. Object recognition speeds have been greatly increased, as have video sequence recording speeds.
