Machine Vision

Machine Vision has been linked to robotics since the earliest days of the industry.  The technology was viewed as the key to fully automatic, lights out operation.  Today vision is the most powerful sensor in automation, and is the enabling technology for the many processes. 

AMT has provided vision engineering, programming and support for over 15 years.    Our Machine Vision group is considered one of the best in the field with expertise in a diverse array of 2D/ 3D vision systems and software.  Our vast experience in the machine vision industry enables us to quickly analyze your part or process and identify if machine vision is applicable for your facility.

Technology Description

Machine Vision involves image processing that allows for communication and action between robots and parts or other automation equipment. Common uses for machine vision include measuring tolerances, detecting part present, determining part orientation & position, identifying bar codes or other readable characters, guiding robots & product traceability.

By integrating a machine vision solution you can improve your automated process by reducing manual labor, defective parts, and process errors due to equipment inaccuracies  and also lower process cycle time.
