What are IP Ratings? IP (Ingress Protection) ratings explain how well a product enclosure protects its contents from dust and water. The rating is expressed as a two-digit code (XY) that shows the level of protection against solid objects and liquids. X indicates protection against solid particles and Y indicates protection against liquids such as water. Using this code, it is
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has shorter wavelengths than visible light, making it invisible to the human eye. Ultraviolet light gets its name from the ‘violet’ colour it creates in the visible portion of the spectrum. Due to its ability to reveal details that normal light cannot, UV lighting is used across a wide range
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is becoming increasingly common in machine vision applications, enabling detection capabilities beyond the range of human vision. With advancements in technology, UV vision systems are gaining traction, leading to increased demand for UV illumination and expanding the scope of machine vision applications. What is UV Illumination? UV is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths that are
In the fast-moving world of machine vision, high-quality image capture is essential, and it all starts with the right lighting. As one of the most critical components in any vision system, lighting shapes accuracy, reliability, and speed. Modular lighting takes this further by offering flexible, future-proof solutions that adapt to changing needs. It is cost-effective and it delivers high-performance lighting
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 next stage of production. Previous
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 molecules that absorb unwanted vibrations.
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. These vision systems consist of several components, with lighting being the most crucial element to guarantee optimal visibility in these tight spaces. TPL Vision’s M-TRING was selected for this
In the automotive engine manufacturing sector, ensuring reliable quality control at the end of the production line is essential to prevent defective engines from being shipped. To achieve this, a fully automated visual inspection system is deployed at the end of each production line. This system consists of multiple cameras, lenses, and lighting mounted on robotic arms, meticulously inspecting the
In the world of machine vision, industrial lighting plays a critical role in enhancing image quality for vision inspections, precision measurements, and automated object identification. Proper illumination ensures high brightness and homogeneity, making objects clearly visible and enabling the camera system to capture high-quality images with precision. Two commonly used industrial lighting solutions in machine vision are line scan lighting
Previous Next In the automotive industry, unique high temperature seals are used in hydrogen fuel cells to guarantee efficiency and safety. For optimal performance, these seals must be thoroughly inspected for dimensional accuracy and possible damage during production. Achieving precise and consistent results requires the use of high-resolution cameras paired with homogeneous illumination by bar lights. This setup ensures that
From the wide use of robotics to Artificial Intelligence (AI), advancing technology is revolutionising the way products are designed, made, and delivered. In this article, we will explore how AI is shaping the future of manufacturing, which applications should consider using AI, and how machine vision lighting can optimise manufacturing processes. Rule Based vs Machine Vision Automation involves the use
In the automotive industry, accuracy, speed, and efficiency are essential for machine vision applications. Compact lighting solutions offer the ultimate level of performance especially when inspecting complex components like electrical connectors. Through high quality, energy efficient illumination, these small devices reduce costs and improve productivity for automotive manufacturers. The Z-Spot spot light was designed to offer a compact lighting solution
Tires are inspected from the top and the bottom simultaneously to ensure compliance, traceability and defect detection. The system checks for surface defects, tread pattern, DOT codes and branding elements, as well as the overall integrity of tires.
A robot-guided vision system with Z-SPOT spot light efficiently inspects car interior mounting elements, overcoming integration and lighting challenges with its lightweight design and powerful illumination.
This dual-feature inspection streamlines quality control using the Black&Light (Bn’L). The system is able to simultaneously assessing shape, size, and imprint codes of the tablets.
