In manufacturing operations, vision inspection systems—sometimes called machine vision systems—are used to detect and identify defects visually. They help ensure products meet the specifications outlined in the design and the quality standards defined by the manufacturer/customer.
Vision inspection systems use a camera or multiple cameras along with video and lighting components to measure parts, validate necessary components, and verify workpiece positioning. While basic systems require human operators to analyze the data they collect about products and make decisions accordingly, more advanced systems use computer software to automate the response to when a defect is detected.
There are many benefits to integrating vision inspection systems into a manufacturing facility, such as:
Vision inspection systems find use in the manufacturing operations of nearly every industry. In addition to detecting product defects, other typical applications for these systems include:
