The PXV 2-D absolute positioning system from Pepperl+Fuchs sets new performance benchmarks when it comes to reliability and handling. With its large reading window, the system keeps a sufficient number of codes in view, even in relation to track switches and changes to the code tape. Precise positioning is guaranteed at all times.

Embedded Vision has been the trend topic in the industry for some time now. Rarely in the past has a vision technology been ascribed so much change potential. A large number of exciting possible uses for Embedded Vision systems already exist in virtually all branches of industry and daily life. But will this technology really lead to a complete upheaval in machine vision?

JAI has introduced a new 3-CMOS prism color line scan camera in its Sweep+ Series camera family. The new SW-4000T-MCL features three custom CMOS line sensors with 4K (4096 pixels) resolution, mounted on a high-grade optical prism assembly that precisely splits the incoming light into red, green, and blue wavebands.

The new microScan3 Pro safety laser scanner that Sick has presented at the Hannover Messe 2018 for the first time is characterized by expanded functionalities for robotics applications and mobile use. It also offers interfaces for Profinet Profisafe and for EtherNet/IP CIP Safety for even more flexible integration.

Newest Genie Nano models round out company offering of polarization for line scan and area cameras signaling an industry first.

Basler extends the portfolio of its most successful camera series with eight ace U models featuring the sensors IMX287 and IMX273 from the Sony Pregius series. The eight new cameras expand the ace U product line in the range of lower resolutions up to 1.6 MP.

A fully autonomous, high-tech robot has special abilities. He is able to save human lives in critical situations and rough terrain and useful in industrial environments when monitoring machines and processes. Center piece is an infrared camera. Due to their high thermal sensitivity, the system is ideal for precision measurement tasks in real time. Immerse into the fascination of thermography systems and let yourself be inspired on the following article.
