About This Webinar
Machine vision and computer vision applications enable quality management, quality control and automation, and are gaining in importance. Each manufactured product needs to undergo a final check; but different variables can make this task a challenge. Materials, surface properties and measurement tasks (1D measurement – width and length, 2D shape of an object or 3D image) vary widely. The precision of the measurement result is highly dependent on lighting. The performance of the applied laser light will be influenced by several key factors. This presentation will explore these key factors including shape, size and material of the measured object, resolution requirements, the trade-off between depth of focus and line thickness, as well as field of view.
Through case studies this session will show how customer needs may evolve and make an informed decision about selecting the appropriate laser module based on the requirements of the application.
