Understanding machine vision in automation

by

Article contributed by Wauseon Machine

Machine vision has become an integral component of automated manufacturing processes. In older automated manufacturing lines, less efficient methods were used to corral a product part down a conveyor and into a precise position for fixation.

This more manual process often required additional hardware to corral pieces down the assembly line in the proper direction or would require pre-fixturing a part with manual labor.

This not only was more time intensive but also made manufacturing processes more susceptible to alignment errors.
