Vision system for small parts
Vision system for small parts
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for a brand recommendation of a good vision system, which is able in a short process time (<1sec) to measure certain points on a 5mm diameter part. There are a lot of different systems out but does someone have good experience with a system in part sizes like I'm looking into???
Please, every input will be a great help for me
Thanks

My quick and dirty recommendation is keep your measurements to 1/1000 of full view to avoid problems and very High-Tech tricks out of the equation. IPD has a new appliance based metrology system called igauge that looks very easy and nice to use. I saw in at a vision show in Nov. in San Jose and I have read some really good things about it. I will use most any of the existing brands out there; but, remember that some optical physics governs these systems and you have to play by the rules. Most of the $3000-$5000 systems will do what you want if you stay inside a few limits. I hope this helps.

We have used vision for applications such as fiber alignment where the fiber in 9 microns.
Start w/ Cognex.

I have used DVT as well and they are pretty good at binary images (where the image is almost completely black and white with no shades of gray in between). Their address is:

Usually the Cognex is faster and more robust and the most capable. The nice thing about Cognex is they will provide an extensive evaluation of your application for no charge and will tell you not only if the application is possible, but what the barriers might be. If it isn't possible, they will tell you. DVT on the other hand is sold through Distributors. Some will provide an evaluation, some won't.
There are lots of other manufacturers as well, but for small applications the above are definitely the leaders. For either one, you should plan on spending $4,000-$10,000 for a solution. There are cheaper vendors out there if you need cheaper, but generally their products reflect their lower cost.
Good Luck!
