A PC-based vision system combining an easy-to-use Windows® interface with a high-performance, platform-independent vision engine, ATS SmartVision represents a significant breakthrough in
cost-effectiveness, connectivity and customization, not offered by competing vision systems.
Using programmable software logic, SmartVision can control virtually any industry-standard, third-party camera and lighting system, to perform high-precision part & defect identification, measurement, sorting
and robotic guidance.

Windows® User Interface
SmartVision’s reliable Windows® interface simplifies operation and reduces operator training time. |
Platform Independent Vision Engine
The SmartVision engine can control multiple cameras in a single application to perform up to eight independent sequences comprised of ordered lists of steps. Each step
contains one SmartVision tool. Sequences can be single-stepped for debugging.
Results ranging from a simple pass/fail condition to the position of objects for complex applications are made available to the host PC and the other steps in the application. Programmable flow control provides for
simple branching within sequences.
| Optional SmartVision Tools |
A comprehensive variety of SmartVision tools are available, offering cycle times of 1 to 2 msec orthogonal or 3 to 4 msec non-orthogonal or faster, depending on pixel depth and the processing
speed of the host PC. |
