Vision system spares sourced urgently
The UK Industrial Vision Association was able to respond to an emergency call from a distraught production manager who needed spare parts for his vision system.
The 'Machine Vision Handbook', first published (in paper format only) in January 1997, has been updated with financial assistance from the Photonics Knowledge Transfer Network.
UKIVA Director, Don Braggins, told manufacturingtalk.com: "In spite of all the advances in software and hardware, it is surprising how little had to be changed for the new edition, which remains a basic guide to the technology and does not go into any details of actual hardware or software.
Probably the biggest change editorially was to remove some of the statements about the limitations of the technology, and to acknowledge that an additional method of getting three dimensional information is to use a 'time-of-flight' camera, something simply not possible in earlier days".
The Association thanks its members in providing information, editorial input and diagrams, for the latest revision of this handbook.
