Integrated and flexible artificial vision system

B&R has integrated the artificial vision into its automation system.

1) The B & R lighting portfolio includes flexible light bars, backlighting and ring lights.

2) Integrated B&R Machine Vision

The portfolio includes smart cameras, quality optics, flexible lighting and powerful image processing algorithms. The degree of integration is found at every level, with the industrial vision completely incorporated in the engineering tool, in the real-time operating system and in the machine application.
Potential applications range from reading barcodes, Ovc and Ocr to more demanding tasks performed, for example, in the pharmaceutical and printing industries.
Characterized by several modular and sophisticated lighting components, the integrated vision by B&R guarantees the best exposure of each object, in any situation: each scan is correctly displayed and returns the necessary information.
The automatically adjustable light bars (usable individually or arranged in a ring structure in groups of four, six or eight) and the backlighting (supplied in two-dimension LED panels) ensure optimal results even in difficult situations, where it is necessary to adopt techniques of particular lighting.
Since light control, like that of the camera, is integrated into the machine automation system, a perfectly synchronized exposure and light emission time (in the order of μs) is obtained, even when working with multiple cameras and light sources and this guarantees to obtain a perfect image even of objects that move at very high speed.
Given the degree of integration, cameras and lighting can easily be synchronized with other sensors, with the position of the motors or with significant events for the machine.
