Exact Metrology PolyScan XL

Exact Metrology represents PolyScan XL. Part of the Polyrix PolyScan™ Surround 3D Scanner family, these scanners are motionless by design during the inspection. Their unique calibration avoids the need for data alignment or sticker targets, and multiple baselines increase accuracy when measuring points.

The PolyScan XL6 is designed to measure parts up to 1600 mm, combining 12 cameras and 12 projectors to provide 210 effective scanning units. It is ideal for medium-to-large aerospace castings, or automotive sheet metal components. Complete inspection of parts is achieved in only 6 minutes. Surround design and simplicity of automation means it can be easily integrated into a production line, while being 100% safe for operators.

PolyScan XL8, the larger version of XL, is designed to measure parts up to 2000mm. It combines 16 cameras and 16 projectors to provide 376 effective scanning units.

Surround Scanning is made possible by the huge amount of R&D that Polyrix placed on software development since 2005. The PolyScan Control Center (PCC) manages data acquisition from all scanning units, thus generating 3D models. Furthermore, PolyScan operation is made easier by the simple interface of the Automation Manager, or by 3rd party plug-ins (e.g. Polyworks Inspector™ Plug-in).

All PolyScan scanners are simple, fast and safe. There is no need to program inspection trajectory, unlike CMM and robotic scanning solutions. Data is quickly captured from every angle. With PolyScan, there is no risk of collision with an operator. No costly enclosure and safety systems are needed. Furthermore, the scanners offer high-inspection throughput, generating higher returns on investment. Process control is fast to obtain, since scanning is easier. Users also benefit from a quick check of their part in a matter of minutes.

LUCID JupyterLab ArenaView

LUCID Vision Labs, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of unique and innovative industrial vision cameras, announced the release of a new version of ArenaView with built-in JupyterLab support.

JupyterLab is the latest web-based interactive development environment for notebooks, code, and data. Its flexible interface allows users to configure and arrange workflows in data science, scientific computing, computational journalism, and machine learning. JupyterLab in ArenaView provides a built-in and preconfigured interactive development environment that can be used to easily test and validate a camera’s features and performance. JupyterLab enables application designers to speed up their product qualification workflow without the need to set up a custom development environment, allowing a shorter cycle for evaluation, testing and prototyping.

All LUCID cameras conform to the GigE Vision 2.0 and GenICam3 standards and are supported by LUCID’s own Arena software development kit. The Arena SDK provides customers with easy access to the latest industry standards and software technology. The SDK supports Windows, Linux 64bit and Linux ARM operating systems, and C, C++, C# and Python programming languages.

Teledyne AI Enhancements to Sapera Vision Software

Teledyne announced its Sapera Vision Software Edition 2022-05 is now available. Sapera^TM Vision Software from Teledyne DALSA offers field proven image acquisition, control, image processing and artificial intelligence functions to design, develop and deploy high-performance machine vision applications. The new upgrades include enhancements to its AI training graphical tool Astrocyte^TM and its image processing and AI libraries tool Sapera Processing.

Sapera Vision Software is ideal for applications such as surface inspection on metal plates, location and identification of hardware parts, detection and segmentation of vehicles and noise reduction on x-ray medical images.

New features in this release:

• Tiling on Large Images - A mechanism for handling large images at native resolution to avoid losing precision on very small defects/objects.
• Increased Performance on Anomaly Detection - A new Anomaly Detection algorithm with better performance on low to medium resolutions.
• YOLOX Object Detection - An additional object detection algorithm with higher performance and lower footprint.
• Processing of Non-Square Images - A flexible mechanism for preparing images for training and inference without distorting the original aspect ratio.
