Products
VISIONx products are sold as software and complete systems.
Software
VISIONx Inc has two main software products: VisionGauge and VisionGauge OnLine:
VisionGauge is a machine vision software product for operator-assisted imaging, high-accuracy measurement, image analysis, image processing, microscopy, image and data collection/transmission/exchange, reporting, and databasing.
VisionGauge OnLine is a machine vision software for automated inspection, verification, high-accuracy measurement and data collection, including automated tools for alignment, pattern matching, measurement, analysis, defect detection, assembly verification, optical character recognition and verification, blob analysis, barcode reading, color verification, presence/absence detection, and object counting and sizing. Users create custom programs to perform inspections using these tools.
Complete Systems
VISIONx designs and manufactures a number of different imaging and vision systems accompanied by the VisionGauge or VisionGauge OnLine software. A sample of notable systems include:
VisionGauge Digital Optical Comparator systems update existing optical comparator technology and allow the user to accurately compare a part with its CAD drawing. These systems are also known as digital profile projectors or contour projectors. Two features that the VisionGauge Digital Optical Comparator boasts improve upon existing optical comparator technology are 1) Auto Pass/Fail - allowing automatic determination if a part is a Pass or a Fail compared to the overlay at critical points or entities, and 2) Auto overlay alignment - allowing a CAD overlay to be read in and automatically aligned or fitted to the part on screen. These features allow for increased automation in the inspection of parts.
VisionGauge Cartesian Measurement Systems are capable of fast 3D motion over long travels.
VisionGauge Smart Camera Bundles are complete, all-in-one solutions for both imaging and machine vision applications. They include a Smart camera running Windows XPe bundled with VisionGauge software.
VisionGauge OnLine Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems are intended for automated 3D inspection, defect detection and high accuracy measurement applications.
VisionGauge OnLine Optical Character Recognition and Verification Systems for industrial applications are able to automatically locate, read, and verify text strings.
