Measuring in machine vision is used to confirm the dimensional accuracy of components, parts and sub-assemblies automatically, without the need for manual intervention.

IVS® provides sub-pixel precision vision systems for reliable metrology, measurement and dimensionally accurate inspection. From checking simple geometrical tolerances to micron-level detection, customers can be confident that our metrology and measuring vision solutions provide robust and repeatable results. Powerful gauging wizards are incorporated into our vision systems, enabling customers to make sophisticated measurements to sub-pixel accuracy at very high speeds.

Pattern recognition and pattern matching is used in machine vision for automated quality checks to confirm that a pattern is presence and in the correct position, it is also used to enable automation through robot position and training.

Our pattern matching algorithms use a “gold master” training image as a “digital signature” pattern for the part, component, label, text or object that the vision system has to deal with. Powerful, precision geometrical algorithms then match at speed providing real-time inspection.

Powerful OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and OCV (Optical Character Verification) solutions for robust inspection and verification of complex numbers, character and language types. Train, classify and verify any character set – enabling the high-speed checking of scribed, stamped, printed or pre-printed text in all languages, fonts, sizes and styles.

From packaging label inspection through to laser etched identification of numbers, all character sets can be read robustly and repeatedly regardless of variations in ambient factory conditions and environments. Check scribed, stamped, printed or pre-printed text in all languages, fonts, sizes and styles.

Precise 2D and 3D robot positioning and part guidance. IVS robot guidance and alignment solutions provide high precision feedback to all major robots. Using industry-leading machine vision tools to quickly and precisely locate and align components, patterns and fiducials, even under adverse conditions.

Reduce expensive tooling allowing products to arrive in any orientation and be guided accurately and robustly. Non-linear calibration corrects for lens and perspective distortions, providing exact co-ordinates and ultraprecision.

Our powerful vision systems provide 24-bit colour processing to offer enhanced image processing and precision for quality control applications – everything from pill inspection and blister pack checks through to verifying food stuffs and electronic components. Check labels, features, conformal coats, beads, glue, food products, organic products and parts for detailed colour analysis.

Overall quality verification of parts, components and sub-assemblies is achieved through colour searching, pattern checks and template matching. Colour matching can be used for segmentation and analysis of products operating in RGB and HSI.

Automated traceability through photo capture, save and recall. Storing an image record of every product manufactured is now a critical tool in the modern production process, providing front line brand and warranty protection based on time-stamped photos in case of later warranty claims.

Automatic image archiving enables all the scanned images to be stored onto the system hard drive automatically without operator intervention. Easily recall your full production photos or view images of individual products before they left your facility.
