We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Inspection Systems",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Toolkit interfaces Genicam cameras with CVB from
Firstsight Vision, which we summarised at the time by saying "A versatile hardware-independent imaging software toolkit enables any Genicam compliant machine vision camera to be interfaced with Common Vision Blox".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Stereo inspection systems capabilities extended from
Vision Engineering: "A wider range of options for a family of stereo inspection systems offers extended reach, increased working distance and freedom of mobility".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Metris
concerning its MCA (Manual Coordinate measuring Arm)
- take a look at Manual coordinate measuring arm is lightweight
which says: "A highly accurate, portable, manual coordinate measuring arm can be put to work just as easily in the metrology laboratory as on the shop floor".
Take a look also at the news release from Metris, Measuring arm is highly accurate,
as well as Package coding management reduces errors from Claricom,
and Electric actuators ideal for OEM applications from SMAC Europe.
