Accelerating Vision System Design with Modular All-In-One Motion Control

Motion control is essential for high-performing automated vision systems, but it often presents a two-part challenge for vision experts: First, translating application needs into motion specifications, and second, efficiently building a reliable system. This session simplifies the process by providing a clear framework for translating the functional requirements of your application into key motion specifications like speed, accuracy and repeatability.

Fussell explores what these specs truly mean and helps viewers answer the question of what’s needed: accuracy or repeatability. He then highlights how these specs guide the selection of hardware, sharing how modular, plug-and-play devices can simplify the path to building an accurate and reliable automated vision system.
