Machine vision outsees the human eye

摘要

The Cognex Corporation has been at the forefront of vision-based inspection technology since 1981. The company designs, develops, manufactures and markets machine vision sensors and systems which can "see". Particularly applicable to the aluminium rolling sector is the SmartView metals system, a highly modular approach which can be adapted to a client's specific needs, using standard system components. Cognex installs appropriate light and camera configurations for each line. Some allow coil inspection while going over a roller and others allow inspection on the flat portion of the line. Cognex offers the most comprehensive selection of lighting solutions in the industry, applying colli-mated, diffuse, or side lighting depending on the client's application needs.
