We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vision Systems",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Rotating mirror creates cheap inspection system from
Cognex UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Modular Digits (Modi) developed a rotating mirror head which was combined with an In-Sight camera or a VisionPro system to perform image processing tasks with minimal use of materials".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Precision colour images for machine vision from
Toshiba Imaging Systems Division: "Remote head three-CCD colour camera is ideal for high speed machine vision systems where space is limited".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Industrial Vision Systems
concerning its NCF103, NCF108, NCF113, NCF114 and NCF120
- take a look at Monochrome cameras offer high frame rates
which says: "The unit's large built-in image buffer ensures secure, reliable high-speed data transfer at high speeds, even in multicamera applications".
Take a look also at the news release from SMAC Europe, Actuators help improve driver safety,
as well as Industrial cables resist fires from Firstsight Vision,
and Seminars to introduce camera/software package from Matrox Imaging.
