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.
Machine vision systems protect endangered birds
On account of the increasingly strict wildlife conservation regulations, wind turbines have to be switched off when a protected species of bird approaches them. With the help of artificial intelligence and components from STEMMER IMAGING, a machine vision system from phil-vision banishes the danger of birds being struck by wind turbine blades and minimises expensive downtimes.

Polarisation camera with inbuilt calculations gives new inspection possibilities
The new JAI-GO-5100MP-PGE polarisation camera enables analysis of material thickness, stress points, and other defects not observable using standard imaging techniques. Featuring Sony’s IMX250MZR polarised CMOS sensor this GigE Vision camera can also reduce the effects of reflections and hot spots from shiny materials such as plastics and glass. The unique on-board calculation of key parameters such as angle and degree of linear polarisation frees up host resources for other processing tasks.
