Integrating Vision into Machine Automation

Jan. 22, 2018
B&R has introduced an image processing solution seamlessly incorporated into the automation system.

The solution comprises cameras, software and lighting accessories. At the center is a broad selection of intelligent camera technology. Options at the lower end will replace simple machine vision sensors, while the top of the range will harness the full potential of high-end smart cameras. Ready-made software components are available for creating applications with minimal new programming. Intelligent lighting is also vital and lighting elements are available integrated in the camera, as an external device, or as a combination of the two. Extremely precise synchronization for high-speed image capture and object-specific functions such as bright-field or dark-field illumination are easy to implement; image triggers and lighting control can be synchronized with the rest of the automation system in hard real time and with sub-microsecond precision. The machine vision system is integrated on every level: the engineering tool, the real-time operating system and the application software. With a single development environment for every aspect of automation, controls engineers will now be able to implement many machine vision tasks on their own.
