The Ethernet based GigE Vision standard is still considered the most frequently used interface in machine vision. It offers a large variety of compatible standard network equipment and enables scaling the performance of the whole system over a wide range. This makes GigE Vision especially suitable for multi-camera systems.
Operators of high-precision grinding and honing machines in NSK's ball bearing production are now taking advantage of virtual reality (VR) training methods. VR technology has the advantage, among other things, of allowing machines to keep producing, while simultaneously permitting easier standardisation of training courses. For NSK, this first project at its Munderkingen plant in Germany serves as a model for future roll-out at other facilities.
