Advantages of Smart Inspection Sensors
3D scanning is the process of capturing the geometry of a physical object and creating a digital model of it. This can be done using various methods such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, structured light scanning, or computed tomography (CT) scanning. 3D scanning can be used for a variety of purposes, including creating digital models for 3D printing, reverse engineering, and inspection.3D inspection involves using 3D scanning technology to inspect the quality of a manufactured part or compone

5 Key Steps for Digital Transformation
Manufacturing is still feeling the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, which has demonstrated how processes may be made more streamlined and effective. Automation is being stressed more, but primarily out of necessity owing to a shortage of competent labor. It is a significant factor in some of the changes that are occurring, but it is also due to the continued strong demand for produced goods. There is a lot of pushing and pulling going on, making it difficult for manufacturers to continue being

Improve Object Pick-up with Sensors
When implementing a collaborative robot in a pick and place
application, additional sensors can yield huge benefits. There are a myriad of
ways to do this, each with its own level of complexity and cost. Let’s explore
some options.Fixturing – No Sensor
RequiredThis method is tried and true. The biggest advantage to this
option is its low cost, low tech approach. It requires little to no training
but fixtures can be expensive and lack flexibility.In-Built Part DetectionBefore adding more se
