BOA smart cameras from Teledyne DALSA are robust, compact, fully integrated intelligent vision systems designed for harsh environment factory floor deployment. The BOA IDR version combines 1D barcode, 2D matrix and character reading and verification with pattern recognition capabilities in a single unit for checking barcodes, ‘best before’ dates, lot numbers and even logos.

MAPRA Technik are the exclusive agents in the United Kingdom and Ireland for DOSS Visual Solution Srl of Italy who produce visual inspection and testing machines. DOSS have launched the DOSS Model: MIGG machine for the automatic non-contact measurement of circular parts (including deformed) such as ‘O’ rings with an accuracy according to DIN 3771.

Creaform, leader in portable 3D optical measurement technologies, has integrated a portable probing system into BMW’s Rosslyn manufacturing process and plant in Pretoria, South Africa.

PAS Technology is known for developing programs to automate quality assurance of complex parts, which it identifies as one of the most costly steps in the manufacturing supply chain. It develops software based on advanced feature recognition algorithms, so users can create CMM programs from any CAD file. Now, it’s reaching into the emerging dimension of information technology known as lifecycle management.
CoreView 6.0, Hexagon Metrology’s latest software for Cognitens white light systems, now features CoreView Teach Pro, which offers users of Cognitens WLS400A systems significant savings in time and effort for programming measurement routines. Measurements with the Cognitens WLS400A can be programmed from any computer without direct connection to the robot.

Measurement Solutions will release a new white light scanning system at the MACH Show this month.The SIDIO range of scanners has been developed by the Spanish company, Nub3D. Established in 1999, Nub3D was a spin-off company following research projects at the University of Barcelona into optical 3D scanning technologies. Working in close collaboration with the University’s technological centres and major Spanish industrial companies, Nub3D have continuously invested in R&D to develop efficient systems for 3D measurement.

Delcam will demonstrate the 2012 release of its PowerINSPECT inspection software on stand 4011 at the MACH exhibition to be held in Birmingham from 16th to 20th April. The new version includes a number of extra options to make inspection easier, plus the addition of basic reverse engineering functionality to the point-cloud module.

The MICURA coordinate measuring machine from Carl Zeiss meets user demands for smaller coordinate measuring machines that are as accurate as their larger relatives but offer a price advantage. With a measuring range of 500 x 500 x 500 millimetres, it is the largest in this class.

Cognex Corporation, leading supplier of machine vision systems, has introduced a vision system that is small, tough and very smart . It has powerful vision tools, faster image capture, capability to power and control a range of external lighting, and enough input/output (I/O) capacity for virtually any inspection scenario — all in a compact, industrial IP67 package.

A leading manufacturer of PTFE hose used in the automotive industry has integrated a vision inspection designed by Olmec-UK Ltd into its extrusion line at its UK manufacturing facility. Capable of continuous inspection of the hose travelling at speeds up to 6 metres/minute, the vision system is linked to a novel failure mechanism which catastrophically destroys defective product by puncturing the hose at the point any defect is detected so that it will later fail a high pressure test.
