We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Vision",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Infrared light sources cover broad spectrum from
Moritex Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Moritex has announced a new standard incandescent infrared (IR) light source, the MHAB-100, offering a broad light spectrum unachievable with LEDs".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Redefining pill counting for smaller pharmacies from
Marco: "The Eyecon is rapidly gaining a proven track record and Marco claims no other existing prescription counting and filling system can deliver such price versus performance value".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Laser Components
concerning its FP-Hom series
- take a look at Less speckle in homogenous laser diode line lasers
which says: "Unlike lasers that use a cylindrical lens to generate a line, the power distribution of the FP-Hom series is homogenous, producing uniform power density across the whole length of the line".
Take a look also at the news release from Edmund Optics, Schneider lenses now in Edmund Optics's range,
as well as New camera vision system targets entry level needs from Adept Electronic Solutions,
and Automated inspection unit offers entry level gains from Firstsight Vision.
