Capabilities & Software

Our Machine Vision Software

Our Automation Capabilities

We deliver more than most machine vision system companies, setting the standard for technology in our industry. You can use our VisionGauge® OnLine software to collect, store, and analyze data based on images of your parts. These software solutions come with a variety of features and tools to help you efficiently automate your measurements and inspections.

VisionGauge® is an operator-oriented option that collects and reports measurement data for product testing applications, while VisionGauge® OnLine can be used to automate both in-line and off-line applications. Learn more about the features and benefits our platforms offer with our machine vision software.

Our VisionGauge® systems include our groundbreaking, patented technology such as our CAD Auto-Align™ and CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ tools, making our systems repeatable and easy to use directly on the shop floor. The CAD Auto-Align™ tool automatically aligns the overlay for a fully automated CAD-to-part comparison. Meanwhile, the CAD Auto-Pass/Fail™ tool computes and displays any deviation from nominal and determines out-of-tolerance measurements in real time. Many other proprietary patented software tools are also available and constantly in development to meet strict inspection requirements.
