SHOW PREVIEW: VISION
At this year’s show, LMI Technologies (1C14) will unveil three 3D inspection products. Firstly, a new series of smart 3D line profilers with scanning down to 8µm X resolution, 0.2µm Z repeatability. Te profilers offer complete inspection cycles – scan, measurement, and control – at up to 10kHz, all onboard the sensor with no external controllers. Secondly, the newest member of the LMI
snapshot sensor family delivers scanning at 5µm XY resolution and 0.2µm Z repeatability. Tis technology allows customers to move from traditional laser profiling solutions to a stationary inspection design that reduces cost and complexity.
Ethernet and M8 GPIO robust connectors. Triton ranges from 0.4 megapixel to 20 megapixel resolution, including the 5 megapixel Sony IMX250MZR/MYR polarised, the 12.3 megapixel IMX304, and 20 megapixel IMX183 sensors. Also new from Lucid is Atlas, a 5GBase-T
PoE camera capable of 600MB/s over standard Ethernet cables up to 100 metres. Measuring 55 x 55mm, the Atlas is equipped with a M35 lens mount that can easily be adapted to F-mount. Te first Atlas model features the new 31 megapixel Sony IMX342 APS-C format global shutter CMOS, followed by the 19 megapixel IMX367 and the 16 megapixel IMX387 sensors.

Finally, LMI’s vision accelerator is a compact,
plug-and-play device. It is a cost-effective solution for adding massive GPU-driven data processing power to any Gocator 3D smart sensor in order to meet inline production speed, without the need for an industrial PC.

Lucid Vision Labs (1C62) will introduce two GigE Vision camera families at the trade fair. Te Triton camera features active sensor alignment for excellent optical performance. It measures 29 x 29mm and offers IP67 protection for harsh environments, along with M12
News from EMVA By Thomas Lübkemeier
After one year of absence, Vision 2018 opens its doors from 6 to 8 November in Stuttgart. So many things have happened since the last show that the upcoming Vision is expected to be one of the most exciting trade fair editions ever. We will see an innovation
firework from the exhibitors at the trade fair. Also, consolidation in the market through M&A activities has accelerated. New, disruptive technologies have gained ground in the industry, with deep learning
on the top of the list. There is also a convergence of the formerly divided B2B and B2C markets through deep learning, which has its roots in B2C and is now also conquering B2B. Since its foundation, the EMVA has an active interest in the technological developments in the machine vision industry. One example is standardisation. During the trade fair, the G3 initiative group, formed of AIA, CMVU, JIIA, EMVA and VDMA will meet to discuss new standard initiatives. The results of
24 Imaging and Machine Vision Europe • October/November 2018
these standardisation activities, which are a prerequisite to the global acceptance of machine vision technology, can be experienced at the International Machine Vision Standards booth in hall 1 booth B74. The EMVA, as a leading organiser, will showcase the most commonly used machine vision standards, together with its partner associations. Experts from the various standard working groups will be available for questions and to take input from the visitors
regarding future needs and improvements. The International Machine Vision Standards booth is also an excellent place to meet. In this respect, Vision has always been an exquisite place for networking. As is tradition, EMVA invites the machine vision community to the International Vision Night, on 5 November, the evening before the fair, in a restaurant in Stuttgart (
www.vision-night-emva.org). See you in Stuttgart. It’s show
time! @imveurope

Matrox Imaging (1E17) will exhibit its Iris GTR smart camera – paired with the Matrox Design Assistant flowchart-based soſtware – and a Matrox 4Sight GPm vision controller with a GigE Vision camera, demonstrating the extent of platform flexibility. Matrox Rapixo CXP – a CoaXPress 2.0 frame grabber programmed using the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) soſtware – will conduct high-speed video capture with a CXP area scan camera. Te Matrox 4Sight EV6 vision controller will also be on display. Te company will also feature demonstrations
highlighting reading of PharmaBraille text, 3D profiling for tyre tread inspection, and verifying ID marks using feature-based OCR.

MVTec Software (1E72) will introduce Halcon 18.11 and Merlic 4 soſtware releases. Halcon 18.11 includes new deep learning functionality and expanded embedded vision capabilities. Te release also provides new functions for developers. In a live demo, a UR3e robot arm will be
Midwest Optical Systems (1G53) will showcase optical filters for various applications, including SWIR filters, designed to enhance image quality of InGaAs camera technology, and wire-grid polarisers, effective in both the visible and infrared ranging from 400nm to 2,000nm. Plus, all attendees can enter to win a free FK200 filter kit, which features 10 of the most popular bandpass filters used in machine vision. Georgy Das, the firm’s technical training
manager, will give a presentation on filter technology on 6 November at 11.30am on stage two, 1A75.
