Summary: | A wide range of single-purpose point sensors such as proximity sensors, lasers and photocells have long played a key role in virtually all factory automation systems by detecting the presence of parts or assemblies, performing measurements and identifying colors, among other tasks. Machine vision systems, on the other hand, perform more complicated operations such as complete inspection of a part. Simpler, less expensive machine vision sensors have recently emerged to target operations currently performed by point sensors, as well as many other inspection tasks, at a similar price point. This article reviews the capabilities and potential applications of vision sensors. |
