It’s really easy to create a machine vision application with the MVTec software MERLIC. In this video, we will show you how to create a simple application that checks whether all fuses are correctly placed on a board. Three easy-to-use tools are enough: “Acquire Image from File”,” Check Presence with Gray Features” and “Evaluate Expression”.

In certain inspection applications, the engineer needs to isolate a specific feature in order to take measurements of a part. We recently introduced the Surface Mask tool in Gocator® to solve this challenge. To illustrate how the tool works, we’ll use a connector with 4 pins as our scan target. The goal in this application is to measure the surface flatness of the face of the flange, which is the innermost ring of the connector. Using the Surface Mask Tool Measuring the surface flatness of the face of the flange is easily solved using a Gocator® 3D laser line profiler ...

See the new Surface Mask Tool in action, introduced in Gocator Firmware 5.3. The Surface Mask Tool gives users the ability to create a new surface by extracting specific surface data from a desired region (and excluding data from surrounding regions). See how this added capability is utilized in this connector flange flatness measurement example. Find more information about LMI Gocator here: https://lmi3d.com/products/gocator-3D-smart-sensors ...

This tool allows you to compare profiles to a master template and easily detect defects or nonconformity, even when the part shape is complex and orientation is variable. Find more information about LMI Gocator here: https://lmi3d.com/products/gocator-3D-smart-sensors ...

The new Surface OCR tool allows you to recognize and extract a string of text from surfaces, using either 3D height map scan data (for embossed characters) or 2D intensity scan data (for flat characters). The Surface Barcode tool allows you to read data encoded in 1D (linear) and 2D barcodes from surface data, without the need for 2D vision cameras or specialized barcode readers.
