Product news

Systems integrator, Astech Projects, will be exhibiting in conjunction with ClearView Imaging on booth 5664 at MACH 2012, Birmingham NEC, UK from 16-20 April. Having recently formed a collaborative partnership, Astech Projects and ClearView Imaging will showcase their machine vision inspection capabilities. Astech will integrate a ClearView Matrox Imaging system and a Staubli SCARA robot, to demonstrate how the two technologies can be combined to maximize the design and build of bespoke vision inspection systems. It will perform sequential picking, placing and dispensing of different colored golf balls.

The integration of vision inspection is key for automation within many applications to enable repeatable assessment of product assembly, quality and packaging. In industries where there are numerous safety regulations to comply with, the ability to automatically access quality is particularly important to maintain the efficacy and safety of the product.

Astech Projects is able to design, build, integrate, test and deliver complete automation solutions. Following project completion, Astech also offers complete peace of mind with its dedicated REACTS® planned maintenance and technical support service.

Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Food and Beverage ProcessingFood and Beverage Processing involves the preparation of food products for further analysis. Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.Non-Destructive TechniquesNon-destructive techniques (NDT) describes a variety of analytical techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material. Common methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing. NDT is regularly used in forensic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, and medicine.Vision Inspection
