Machine vision will be a critical part of automation systems in Industry 4.0. As data analytics capabilities progress, the high volume of data accessible through vision equipment will be used to identify and flag defective products, understand their deficiencies and enable fast and effective intervention in the Industry 4.0 factory.
This lab course introduces students to vision technology that connects cameras and computers to provide visual feedback and image interpretation critical for part inspection, robotic guidance and industrial automation processes. Students work hands-on with vision equipment to gain skills in the complex functions required for image processing, image analysis and object identification. The Machine Vision and Quality Control training package introduces students to technology that connects cameras and computers to provide the image interpretation and visual feedback needed for part inspection, robotic guidance and industrial automation.
Students use In-Sight Explorer software and the Cognex In-Sight 2000-130C camera to learn and gain skills in the complex functions required for image processing, image analysis and object identification. Students also learn how to program automated quality control applications, such as inspections, part counting and gauging. At the completion of the course, students can take a Certification exam and obtain an industry-recognized Cognex Certification.
Students gain experience that will enable them to combine the vision system with a robotic system for vision-guided robotic applications, or to integrate it within a CIM system for part inspection and quality control.
