With the increasing rise in quality requirements within the automotive, pharmaceutical and electronics industries there is naturally going to be a knock-on effect for other manufacturing sectors.
NeuroCheck is the world's first commercially available machine vision software package to support FireWire linescan cameras "off-the-shelf".
Industrial Vision Systems has already developed and shipped solutions using this new technology.
"Our solutions are continually pushing the boundaries of machine vision technology; and with the development of FireWire linescan cameras operating directly under NeuroCheck we continue to give users unprecedented ease of use", commented Christian Demant, Director of Industrial Vision Systems.
"The development of a linescan test laboratory is crucial in providing pre and post sales support to our blue chip customers".
The new facilities include a range of linescan cameras, lighting and optical arrangements in conjunction with full mechanical tables for setup and execution of tests.
This gives Industrial Vision Systems the ability to develop new and innovative solutions for automated visual inspection.
The FireWire linescan cameras' CCD sensor consists of only a single line array of light sensitive elements, but with the possibility of very high resolutions.
Linescan cameras are typically used for the inspection of moving objects or very large objects, or for supervising continuous production processes.
They are also ideal for the inspection of rotationally symmetrical objects, which are rotated in front of the camera.
The further benefit is that the illumination of a cylindrical object can be concentrated on a single line and thus even illumination can be achieved across the whole surface as the image is acquired.
