Compared to the other types of sensors on the market, vision sensors greatly expand the types of simple inspections a manufacturer can perform and provide information beyond whether a part is simply present or absent. Vision sensors can inspect multiple elements per target, differentiate between colors, and respond well to misalignment and planned variability. By reducing defects and increasing yield, machine vision sensors can help manufacturers streamline their operations and increase profitability. With an array of vision tools and the possibility to perform multiple inspections per target, vision sensors can cut down on cycle time and improve product quality downstream.
