3D Machine Vision

You need a partner who understands the nuances of 3D machine vision—someone with all the skillsets under one roof and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in the world of 3D vision. From custom structured light systems to continuous profile generation, and never forgetting to have the end in mind, we live and breathe 3D machine vision every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Moiré interferometry, structured light and the Scheimpflug principles
2. Relationship between the camera’s sensor, speed and accuracy/precision desired
3. Tying in third party encoders
4. Calibration techniques
5. Where 3D vision is and is not appropriate and alternate techniques

Common pitfalls of 3D machine vision systems that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not ensuring the field of view is sufficiently large enough given the accuracy and precision desired
2. How the reflective nature of the part being inspected can influence the system
3. Not planning for the data volume that will be generated

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued failed 3D vision projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make 3D vision systems 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.
