Attendance Up 50% at Materials Technology Conference

Speakers from Boeing, General Mills, PepsiCo Headline Event Attendance Up 50% at Materials Technology Conference

March 6, 2013 (Bethesda, MD) Top U.S. manufactures showcased fast-growing

ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) processes at uv.eb WEST 2013 in
Redondo Beach, CA. With attendance up over 50% from the last event, UV and
EB technologies were on display, demonstrating how new materials offer
significant cost, environmental, energy and quality advantages for U.S.
industries transforming their processes. The event documented several
examples of UV and EB enabling new paradigms for process technologies in
printing, consumer packaging, composites, corrosion & weathering resistance
and field refinish/repair.

With a grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority (NYSERDA), our next event, uv.eb EAST, will be in Syracuse, New
York in partnership with the State University of New York College of
Environmental Science And Forestry (SUNY-ESF) Institute for Sustainable
Materials and Manufacturing , October 1-2, 2013.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
