What is Machine Vision?

Machine vision is a technology that enables automated inspection and analysis through image-based processes. It utilizes cameras to capture visual data from the environment, which is then processed using a combination of hardware and software. This data is transformed into actionable information, supporting various industrial applications.

​

In essence, machine vision gives industrial equipment the ability to "see" and make quick decisions based on the captured visuals. It is widely used for tasks such as visual inspection, defect detection, part positioning and measurement, product identification, sorting, tracking, and automatic inspection and process control across a range of industries.

  • Reduces labor costs and boosts production throughput

  • Detects and traces objects, signaling boundary breaches

  • Ensures quality by inspecting contents, packaging, and labeling

  • Monitors supply chains with automatic scanning and tracking

  • Detects defects early, reducing rework and saving costs

  • Identifies equipment faults, enabling preventative repairs and reducing downtime

  • Removes human error and improves real-time monitoring

Components of Machine Vision

Lighting

Accurate target illumination is essential for obtaining precise information and maintaining high productivity, making lighting a key component of any machine vision system.

Staging

Staging ensures the target is properly positioned at the center, aligned with the camera, and rotated as needed. It must also remain securely in place to enable accurate information processing.

Lenses

The lens captures the image and transmits it to the camera’s image sensor. Machine vision lenses are built to be durable and are specifically designed for frequent use in demanding industrial environments.

Cameras

Machine vision cameras include advanced features required for optimal performance and accuracy in visual inspection and analysis and are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions.
