Time-of-flight sensors have evolved significantly, and recent advances have both increased accuracy and reduced cost to the point where they are now suitable for widespread industrial use. Numerous recent innovations are also expanding the functionalities of these 3D sensors.
B&R presented the Acopos 6D system. It is based on the principle of magnetic levitation technology: shuttles with integrated permanent magnets move without contact on a surface made up of motor segments.
The system fits completely on a circuit board and is hardly larger than an image sensor module.
Basler is launching seven more interface cards with GigE Vision interfaces.
The successful Chameleon housing series for Intel RealSense cameras is now also available for the new D455 in addition to the D415, D435 and T265.
Active Silicon introduces new autofocus zoom cameras
With its IRSX smart infrared camera series, AT-Automation Technology offers a solution for intelligent temperature image processing.
Jürgen Popp: Light offers solutions to tackle infectious diseases
Philipp Dobberkau speaks about the Visulisation and Analysis of CT Data.
The winners of the inspect award have been announced! A jury consisting of Anne Wendel, machine vision specialist in the Robotics + Automation Association at VDMA, Thomas Lübkemeier, General Secretary of EMVA, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Heizmann, Professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Dr. Nick Leithold, until recently a cluster manager at Spectronet, as well as the readers of inspect and inspect online have decided.
The MX377 camera, the latest product from Ximea, features one of the largest sCMOS sensors available today.
The food industry is changing. While it is still too early to measure the true impacts of COVID-19 on global trade and consumption, many other factors are driving changes to food production, particularly climate change and population growth. After all, it is vision technology that supports miscellaneous improvements: for example, it helps to deliver better apples.
The Ethernet-based interface 10GigE Vision has the potential to lead the image processing industry into a new era. This new technology offers a number of innovative features for use in a wide variety of areas.
