Machine vision developments at IPOT 2005

Abstract

Purpose

To draw attention to some recent developments in machine vision equipment.

Design/methodology/approach

Presents advances in light emitting diode (LED) lighting, cameras and software, and gives examples of new products and their capabilities.

Findings

New thermal management techniques allow LED lights to take over many machine vision illumination systems. Lights and cameras can be ruggedised to withstand wash down. Standard interfacing is being adopted for machine vision cameras.

Originality/value

Highlights some new products which have applications including the food industry.
