As the latest release of the vendor’s integrated development environment (IDE) for the Iris GT smart camera, Design Assistant 2.3 offers new features including a bead inspection tool and simplified fixturing, as well as support for Microsoft Windows 7.
Design Assistant 2.3’s bead tool inspects material applied as a
continuous sinuous bead, such as adhesives and sealants, and identifies
discrepancies in application length, placement and width, as well as
discontinuities. For applications where mechanical fixturing of parts is
impractical, Design Assistant 2.3’s simplified fixturing automatically
positions the region of interest (ROI) for a measurement or reading tool
using the results from a locating tool. This latest version of Design
Assistant offers improved project switching capabilities, support for
Modbus master mode for controlling automation devices, and simplified
flowchart branching using the switch-case element.Matrox Imaging www.matrox.com514.822.6000
