Machine Vision

The move to machine vision is the single most significant advance in the inspection world. And for the past 30 years ATS has been at the forefront in this transforming technology. Our highly-experienced team of vision experts is proficient in optics, lighting, software development, and machine vision integration. We have developed and refined our machine vision software libraries on thousands of machines installed throughout the world. These libraries have been designed for robustness in difficult industrial applications with tight integration to machine controls.

We've used machine vision in:

■ Verification

■ Gauging

■ Quality control

■ Defect analysis

■ Barcode reading

■ Optical character recognition

■ Robot guidance

Some of the challenges that the ATS Vision Engineering group has tackled includes:

■ High processing speeds

■ Highly accurate sub-micron inspections

■ Multiple camera systems

■ Infrared or ultraviolet lighting

■ Vision-guided motion-systems

■ 3D positioning for robotics applications

■ Systems in radioactive environment

■ Area scan and line scan systems

The ATS Vision Engineering group has created solutions for some of the world's most demanding industrial automation machine vision problems. Let us put our expertise to work for you.
