Image Processing Four Times Faster than Before

05.05.2022 - B&R has increased the execution speed of several machine vision functions. Thanks to a new quad-core processor and a just-in-time compiler, vision tasks are executed up to four times faster than before. Machine builders can thus significantly increase the throughput of their machines - without having to use expensive vision PCs.

Bandpass Filters Excel in UV Fluorescence Applications

Railroad ties are mainly made of wood. In the production process ­fluorescent paint helps to determine the wood’s sap side orientation. A combination of red and green bandpass filters from MidOpt ensures that there is ­sufficient contrast between the fluorescent paint marker and the steel plates that are used to strengthen the wood.
