Machine Vision

Machine vision cameras are used to inspect and analyse objects automatically in an industrial or production environment. The data collected can then be used to control a process or manufacturing activity. Machine vision cameras can be used in many applications to check the position of something, colour, size, shape or whether an object is there or not. As well as look at and decipher a standard 2D barcode and even printed characters. With a comprehensive range of Machine Vision Cameras from Sony, Basler, Zebra Technologies and Datalogic, featuring area scan camera, embedded, IP cameras and Line scan cameras. OEM Automatic can offer a camera to suit almost any application. Our extensive range from leading suppliers, includes GigE, USB, CoaXpress, CameraLink & Bcon (LVDS & MIPI) interfaces, resolutions from VGA to 61MP, rolling and global shutters and monochrome or colour options. We also offer a strong range of <a href="https://www.oem.co.uk/products/machine-vision-,-a-,-code-reading/smart-cameras">smart cameras</a>, which offer a camera and a computer in the same device. If you have any questions on cameras for machine vision applications please feel free to <a href="https://www.oem.co.uk/contact-us/contact" target="_blank">contact us</a>.

3D vision unlocks the power of accurately locating items and inspecting features in three dimensions (X, Y, Z). Instead of relying on colour or contrast, this technology generates a detailed 3D representation of surfaces, enabling the identification of features based on their physical structure. At the heart of 3D machine vision systems lie four key technologies: Stereo Vision, Time of Flight (ToF), Laser Triangulation (3D Profiling), and Structured Light. Stereo Vision harnesses the power of dual cameras to capture images from slightly different viewpoints, enabling precise depth perception through triangulation and providing a comprehensive 3D view of objects, particularly effective in unstructured environments. Time of Flight (ToF) technology measures the time taken for light to travel to an object and back, creating accurate point clouds for 3D reconstruction, ideal for real-time applications. Laser Triangulation (3D Profiling) utilizes lasers and cameras to capture detailed point clouds by measuring the distortion of laser beams projected onto surfaces, offering exceptional precision and resolution, especially suitable for scanning objects in motion. Structured Light employs projected patterns onto objects, capturing their deformation with cameras to generate high-fidelity 3D models, making it perfect for precise surface measurements and inspection tasks. Each technology presents unique strengths, catering to diverse needs in the realm of 3D vision applications. Here at OEM Automatic, we specialize in advising on the best 3D vision technology for your specific needs. Whether you're seeking guidance or interested in a demonstration, our dedicated Computer Vision Team is here to assist you. contact us today and unlock the potential of 3D vision technology for your applications. <img src="/-/media/logotypes-brands/basler_lowresolutionbig.jpg alt = "Basler - 3D" loading="lazy" style="float:left; margin-right:20px" width="100"> <img src="/-/media/logotypes-brands/photoneo.png? alt="Photoneo - 3D" loading="lazy" style="float:left; margin-right:20px" width="100"> <img src="/-/media/oemautomatic_uk/supplier-pages/suppler-logos/wenglor.jpg alt="Wenglor - 3" loading="lazy" style="float:left; margin-right:20px" width="100">

Correct lensing and appropriate use of optical filters is a critical part of any machine vision system. In addition to selecting the correct focal length (FL) to provide the required field of view (FoV) at the required working distance (WD), the lens must suit the detector size, camera resolution and provide to appropriate aperture range (f number) to meet the overall vision system demands. Your application may require varifocal, macro, zoom, telecentric or bi-telecentric lenses. It may require S, C-S, C, E, F, 42mm or larger format mount options and might be for area scan or line scan cameras. No matter what, we can guide you on all aspects of the lens selection process. Optical Filters can be used to block all put the required part of the visual spectrum, polarise light, reduce the amount of light entering the camera and other functions to improve image quality. Again, OEM Automatic can provide the technical assistance required to select the correct filter. OEM Automatic’s machine vision team is always pleased to provide technical support for selecting the correct lenses and filters for your application. We represent an extensive range of leading optical manufacturers to ensure the best possible component selection. Due to the vast, every growing range and specialist nature of some lenses and filters not all our products are shown, so please contact us to discuss your application. <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

Choosing the right LED machine vision illumination is crucial in designing a vision system and can aid your inspection without the need for additional post processing. There are a several considerations when deciding which type of lighting is right. There are a number of areas you need to think about in order to determine what type of illumination is the best solution for your application: <ul> <li>Line speed of your application? <li>Field of view which requires LED vision lighting? <li>Monochrome or colour application? <li>Surface of the object & reflectivity, shape, structure and colour? <li>Which areas require highlighting? <li>What are the mechanical and environmental requirements?</li> </ul> If you have an application that you need help with just <a href="https://www.oem.co.uk/contact-us/contact" target="_blank">contact</a> a member of our team.
