Uniform Illumination for Gear Handling with EBAR+ Bar Lights
Robot arms are regularly used in gear manufacturing, particularly in pick and place automation tasks. To help optimise performance, reliable lighting is essential to ensure the robotic vision system can accurately detect parts for handling. In this case, the robot arm had to pick up gears from the assembly line and place them in the […]
Polarisation – Using Polariser Filters for Glare Reduction
What is Polarisation? Polarisation is a lighting method we often hear about in machine vision applications. To understand polarisation, we must first consider light. Light is a type of wave, and when this moves it vibrates in many directions. When you add a polarising filter, this will block all but one wave by using aligned […]
Optimising Mounting Hole Inspections with M-TRING
During the installation of car seats in the automotive sector, machine vision systems are used to inspect mounting holes in the car seat frames to ensure they have the required threads.
