How to Use Old Photo Restoration Software

by Leave a Comment

Looking back on old images is a priceless feeling which brings back happy recollections of shared memories. Many have large photo collections grouped in photo albums or heaped in a cabinet or an old box.

People used to have to go through tedious procedures to take images and then receive a tangible copy of them. Before now, photographs could not be saved in a storage device or a digital device. Now, you can use an old photo restoration software to fine-tune them.

Finding old storage full of lovely images brings back memories and make you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden treasure. However, as you examine them more closely, you may be disappointed by the deterioration that you notice in the photographs. [Read more…] about How to Use Old Photo Restoration Software

Using IDS cameras in fully automated wood parts inspection process

by Leave a Comment

You always need and see them everywhere: in metalworking, on the construction site, in almost every toolbox… the good old hand brush.

Whether classic all-purpose brushes or brushes for special applications, the German-based company Lessmann GmbH has virtually all of them in its range.

The shape is varied, from straight to ergonomic. But they all have one thing in common: The wooden bodies are made exclusively from untreated red beech. Depending on the model, they also have two hanging holes at the end of the handle.

Production is fully automatic and highly rational. In order to ensure its own claim to the excellent quality of the hand brush woods, Lessmann has been relying on classic image processing for many years. [Read more…] about Using IDS cameras in fully automated wood parts inspection process

Robot-assisted assembly of high-voltage connectors for electric vehicles

by Leave a Comment

Assembling high-voltage connectors for electric and hybrid vehicles at a rate of 5 million per year calls for sophisticated automation solutions. Especially when regular retooling for new models and variants is the norm. Against this background, a pioneering system with six Stäubli robots, 13 image processing systems and inline quality control at every stage is now ensuring highly flexible production.

Electro-mobility is the buzzword of our times, and the market for vehicles with electric drives is steadily gaining momentum worldwide. For some time now, this trend has also been spurring demand for the type of assembly solutions for electric components offered by specialized machine builders such as Eberhard. The company, based in Schlierbach near Stuttgart, Germany, was recently asked by a multinational automotive supplier to implement a complex project.

Specifically, it involved the planning and realization of an assembly line for high-voltage connectors. The system would have to not only perform the actual assembly work, but also the visual inspection at each stage, the testing of every single connector for leak-proofing, and finally the packing of the finished high-voltage connectors in trays.

Fully automatic picking of unknown products from bulk material

by Leave a Comment

The goal: fully automated small parts picking.

In intralogistics, there has been a lot of hype about robots for some years now, whether in trade journals or at fairs.

Most of them are classic six-axis articulated robots that are looking for their way out of a production environment and into logistics.

The main driver here is the labour shortage, the big challenge not a technical component like the robot or the gripper, but the design of an overall economic process. [Read more…] about Fully automatic picking of unknown products from bulk material

IDS unveils the smallest housed camera with C-mount over 10GigE to AI
