Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, 9 September, 2014 - Microscan, a global technology leader in barcode, machine vision, and lighting solutions, invites new and experienced users to explore the range of capabilities in its award-winning AutoVISION® machine vision suite and the PanelScanTM PCB Traceability System at the VISION 2014 show. Microscan will exhibit at the show in Hall 1, booth I45 at Messe Stuttgart, 4-6 November 2014.
AutoVISION empowers users at any experience level to implement robust inspection operations quickly and easily. Manufacturers, integrators, OEMs, and resellers looking for a single system to automate barcode reading, quality verification, measurement, defect detection, or guidance operations are invited to explore AutoVISION at Microscan's booth.
In its latest release, AutoVISION 3.0 maintains its ease-of-use and adds new high-caliber machine vision functionalities, enabling any user to deploy a full range of expert-level inspection tasks. IntelliText Optical Character Recognition (OCR) allows machines to interpret hard-to-read text such as date and lot codes printed on low-contrast labels and packaging or inconsistent surfaces. New barcode quality verification tools ensure the long-term readability of codes throughout the supply chain as well as compliance to ISO and AIM barcode quality standards. Four new password-protected security levels control access to software functionality for engineers to operators working from the same inspection job on the line. Lastly, the CloudLink web-based HMI is a new feature in AutoVISION 3.0 that allows users to visualize inspection results from any device with a web browser, including smart phones and tablets.
All Microscan smart cameras, including the new Vision MINI Xi with Embedded Ethernet, run on the same vision software platform with easy job portability from camera to camera, or to Microscan's advanced Visionscape® software without the need to change cameras.
In addition to AutoVISION, Microscan will give a live demonstration of the new PanelScan™ PCB Traceability System at the VISION 2014 show. PanelScanTM is a user-friendly and easily-integrated machine vision solution for capturing all 1D and 2D barcode data from multi-array PCBs at once, intended for installation at the front-end or mid-stream on any SMT line. This fully-packaged system replaces error-prone manual scanning with a solution that allows for inline reading and keeps electronics production lines moving.
Don't miss Microscan's presentation on ‘Automated vision inspection and parts traceability in automotive assembly' at the Inspect Application Forum on 4 November at 11.30AM by Christoph Wimmer, Global Business Development Manager, Electronic Vertical.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
