It was the early nineties, and after graduating from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and working on sensor technologies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Carlos Jorquera decided the time was right to launch a company of his own. “Carlos is a brilliant physicist and electrical engineer, and while he was working at JPL he realized that the field of high-performance imaging had a great deal of untapped potential, so he formed CJ Computational Systems in 1995, which was later renamed Boulder Imaging,” according to Michael Willis, president and COO. “As founder and chief technology officer, he has guided our work in developing real-time image acquisition, analysis, and processing solutions for high-speed manufacturing, engineering, and scientific applications.”

There’s been a lot of ‘buzz’ in the machine vision industry about smart cameras. Why wouldn’t anyone be interested in something that is ‘smart’? As with smart phones, there is no standard definition for this category of camera. But it is generally agreed that a smart camera does something more than just capture an image, using a sort of embedded intelligence to perform relatively simple and predictable functions, such as bar code reading or label alignment. Smart cameras usefulness is best suited for end users that need to make simple go/no go decisions.

Vision Inspector Beacon for Web Inspection is designed for in-line materials inspection, defect detection, defect archiving, and real time defect awareness and reporting.

The system identifies defects and anomalies such as registration, presence/absence, alignment, color matching and surface irregularities in materials at speeds in excess of 900 ft per minute. Company says it is designed to achieve very high throughput rates with zero false positives.

The Benchmark system provides micron-level in-line (or off-line) part measurement and conformance to specification for virtually any part or material in real-time. The system provides accuracy exceeding 5 microns and inspection speed far beyond its current CMM and laser-based measurement systems, allowing the system to be placed in-line for typical inspection applications. It can be used for first article inspection, reverse engineering, measurement of 100% of parts, or spot inspection.
