Line-Scan Cameras Facilitate Increasingly Higher Throughput
Line-Scan Cameras Facilitate Increasingly Higher Throughput
In their most basic form, line-scan cameras have a single row of pixels. To capture an image, the object being imaged must be moving at a known speed. An encoder provides a feedback signal from a moving belt into the camera to tell it when the speed is increasing or decreasing. Image data is then sent from the camera via cable to a frame grabber, or directly to the computer’s local area network (LAN) input via network cable. Depending on the application, lighting requirements, which become more important at higher speeds, may also need to be considered.

AI Brings New Capabilities to Bin Picking
AI Brings New Capabilities to Bin Picking
Plucking individual objects from a collection, or bin picking, is a staple of manufacturing and processing. Robotic bin picking has been around for decades but often required special expertise to configure, as well as some sort of manual intervention, such as placing parts on a fixture prior to the robot’s actions. However, recent advancements in machine learning and associated AI technologies are prompting emerging capabilities in robotic bin picking, saving time and money.

Camera Tech Holds Promise for Plastics Recycling
Camera Tech Holds Promise for Plastics Recycling
Due to the diverse nature of the materials used to make plastics, as well as additives such as dyes and flame inhibitors, plastic recycling poses significant challenges. According to Bjarke Jørgensen, head of research and development at Newtec Engineering A/S, separating plastics into pure fractions of compositional elements is needed to increase the rate of recycling. At least 95% purity in the plastic fractions is currently required, Jørgensen said.
