FAIL TO SAFE
"Fail to Safe" is a patented concept created by Sensors Incorporated that is designed to provide the optimal product inspection system. At its core, the system assumes every product is assumed to be a "fail" until it is proven "safe" Click "Documentation" for a PDF download!
... Full DescriptionA Practical Guide to Machine Vision Lighting
It is well-understood that the quality and appropriateness of lighting are critical aspects for creating a quality, robust, and timely vision inspection. In addition to an understanding of illumination types and techniques, geometry, filtering, sensor characteristics, and color, a thorough analysis of the inspection environment,including sample presentation and sample-light interactions, provide a foundation upon which to design an effective vision lighting solution. It is suggested that designing and following a rigorous lightinganalysis sequence will provide a consistent, and robust environment,thereby maximizing time, effort, and resources –items better used in other critical aspects of vision system design, testing, and implementation.

Because barcodes are the basis of so many data-acquisition systems, it is important to have an approach to verifying the readability of those codes.
... Full DescriptionDESIGN FOR INSPECTION
To "Design for Inspection" is to consciously design product packaging to not only be attractive to customers, but to ensure it can be inspected reliably and efficiently. If the product is designed from inception with an eye towards inspection, the end result is optimal for both sales and manufacturing. Click "Documentation" for the full PDF!
