Automation and robotics
To increase speed and reliability or to simply move the workforce from routine tasks to more creative ones, robots or cobots are utilized more and more frequently. For further enhancement of such machines with a sense of vision, companies are starting to use industrial cameras.
Flat panel inspection
The displays are growing in size every year while their elements are shrinking and the manufacturing pace is getting faster. Every device using display has to be inspected during and after construction. The main role in systems that cover these tasks is played by high grade cameras.
Semiconductor wafer scanning
Various types of cameras have been used in quality control of electronics since the last century. Typically, the components used in such assemblies are fabricated on so called semi-conductor wafers. The size of details and rate of production requires ever higher resolution and camera speed.
High-speed applications
Speed is a crucial parameter of many industrial, commercial medical and research applications. For example in industrial fields like Print and Film scanning the printers can move pages or films at hundreds of kilometers per hour. However, this is nothing compared to car crash testing.
