Metrology with Machine Vision

You need a partner who uniquely brings together the world of metrology and machine vision in one company. Someone with all the automation, machine vision and metrology skillsets under one roof. A team with deep accessible knowledge and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in inventing machine vision solutions for precision inspection. From optical measurements down to microns to pulling it all together in a high-speed inspection machine, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Selection of proper precision optics
2. The effects of optical distortion and good gauging practices
3. Knowing the limitations of machine vision and when to use other techniques
4. Designing system with the ability to calibrate and validate in line
5. Proper camera sizing and lighting techniques

Common pitfalls of using machine vision for metrology purposes that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not appreciating where machine vision has its limitations
2. Not utilizing proper lighting techniques
3. Not accounting for required mechanical adjustments in the design 

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued failed machine vision projects being used for metrology, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make precision machine vision metrology successful.

Our machine vision solutions start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in machine vision. You want a bespoke custom machine vision solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom machine vision system can get built and you can get that win.
