OPTICAL FILTERS FOR MACHINE VISION
COMPLEX TEXTURE INSPECTION
MVTec Software launched the latest version of its flagship product HALCON at the VISION trade show, reporting more prospective customers for its standard machine vision software than ever before. In live demonstrations and expert presentations MVTec exhibited market-ready solutions for many of the latest machine vision trends discussed at VISION. In addition to Industry 4.0 and the integration of machine vision and disciplines such as PLCs these trends include embedded vision, the use of new technologies such as deep learning as well as faster, more robust and easier imaging processes. HALCON 13 makes it possible to inspect complex textures very
Laser Components offers a comprehensive range of optical filters suitable for applications including machine vision, photolithography, microscopy, spectroscopy and astronomy. A varied standard library features bandpass, short and long pass, notch and ND filters ready for quick dispatch. Custom designs are available upon request, providing solutions to the most challenging requirements, carried out by an experienced optical team using state of the art custom optical coating equipment. The company offers a range of ultra- narrowband bandpass filter, producing an extremely narrow and ‘square’ profile while maintaining exceptional transmission in band. These filters feature a wide and deep out of band blocking up to OD6 without sacrificing transmission performance. Ultra- narrowband filters can be tailored to customer specification upon request.

easily and efficiently. New 3D matching technologies can be used to determine the position of objects even more precisely and optical character recognition (OCR) has been significantly improved while innovative deep learning technologies substantially increase the font recognition rate. One of the HALCON 13 highlights is the debugging of HDevEngine applications. At VISION MVTec experts demonstrated ways to locate and eliminate program errors in the imaging part of C# and C++ applications with the aid of HDevEngine in HDevelop. This enables developers to simplify the programming of machine vision applications and save effort, time and costs.

LIGHT SECTION AND VISION SENSORS IN SINGLE DEVICE
The light section sensors from the SmartRunner range combine a high-precision light section sensor and vision sensor in one compact device. These ready-to-use, plug&play devices from Pepperl+Fuchs are optimised at the factory for a specific field of work. Commissioning and parameterisation is simple to carry out using teach-in or via data matrix control codes and does not require trained and qualified personnel. Thanks to powerful LED lighting the devices are capable of
capturing images for the visual documentation of errors, process conditions and quality attributes. The integrated data matrix decoder allows the user to parameterise the sensor simply via data matrix control codes without using a PC. The light section sensors supply the detection result as a good or bad signal to the switching outputs which can be processed using any control panel. The SmartRunner has many areas of use such as in the automotive industry and in plant and mechanical engineering.

The EOS-1300 from ADLINK is a high performance, compact embedded vision system designed for demanding machine vision and automation applications requiring multiple cameras, high computing power and time deterministic solutions. The EOS-1300 features 6th Generation Intel Core
i7, i5 or i3 processors, four Gigabit Power over Ethernet ports, four USB 3.0 ports and FPGA- implemented digital I/O functions in a very small
footprint. Suitable for industrial applications, its robust construction includes extended shock and vibration protection and long-term component availability to eliminate the failure points commonly found when non-industrial PCs are used in industrial vision applications. With the latest 500 Gb capacity solid state hard
drives and Windows embedded operating systems the EOS is tolerant to any instant power loss making it suitable for use in harsh environments. All I/O connectors are located on one side of the
unit for easy installation. The latest processors provide the computing power needed for demanding machine vision applications.

PROOF OF ORIGIN BARCODE READERS
By using an efficient tracking solution, food producer Hengstenberg is satisfying the latest industry requirements regarding proof of origin. Particularly in the food industry
barcode readers are increasingly being used for the automated identification, tracking and tracing of products. Cognex has helped implement an efficient track and trace solution at the food producer's site with its DataMan 302 barcode reader, allowing pickled gherkins bearing the mark of quality Produced in Germany to be traced all the way back to the respective grower. Right at the start of the production
chain the DataMan 302 detects and reads the labels found on the containers with the classified batches of gherkins. As soon as the manufacturer and product data read has been verified the gherkins enter the downstream production. The long-term storage of the data enables
Hengstenberg to trace back the batches even after a period of years to the respective field and grower. The fixed-mount DataMan 302
barcode readers offer numerous lighting and lens variants for reliably reading the most difficult-to-read barcodes and data matrix codes including high-speed lines. Both the integrated and controllable lighting as well as the liquid lens with adjustable focus enable the optimum setting of working distance, depth of field and field of view in order to achieve the best-possible read rates. An intelligent auto-tuning function
automatically selects the optimum settings for the integrated lighting, autofocus and imager. Thanks to the patented Cognex Hotbars image analysis technology the barcode readers can reliably read damaged, distorted, blurred and low-contrast codes and transfer the information to the controller. This allows the data to be processed immediately and stored in the long term.
