Boulder Imaging's Intelligent Machine Vision Solutions

Boulder Imaging Inc. is the leading provider of surface defect inspection solutions; in-line, non-contact, vision-based coordinate measuring machines; and high-speed digital video recording systems. Our Vision Inspector™ Intelligent Machine Vision systems are used by Fortune 500 companies, and military and government organizations to optimize quality, drive down costs, and measurably improve efficiency.

Vision Inspector™ systems are the most powerful, accurate, reliable, and flexible machine vision and high performance digital video recording systems available today.

Vision Inspector Benchmark is a vision-based, non-contact coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for in-line (or off-line) measurement.
Vision Inspector Beacon provides accurate, repeatable, and reliable surface defect detection for precision parts (metal, plastic, glass, rubber, etc.), web materials (paper and other printed materials), coated surfaces (including Hegman gauge analysis), and coatings (such as paint, ink, film, etc.).
Surface defect detection and dimensional measurement in a single inspection system with Vision Inspector Premier.
Vision Inspector Quazar is the world’s leading high performance digital video recording (HPDVR)™ system. Quazar simultaneously records from multiple cameras of any input type, with guaranteed zero data loss.

Advantages of Vision Inspector Systems:

Measurable improvement in inspection accuracy and speed.
Reliability at production line speeds.
In-line or off-line micron-level parts measurement and surface defect detection.
Ease of set up and use. Vision Inspector has set a new standard for user interface design.
The industry’s highest image data capture rate and real-time analysis capability.
Precise surface defect and anomaly detection for metal, glass, plastic, rubber, web materials (e.g. paper), films, coatings, steel, aluminum, and components such as labels and barcodes – all in real-time at any line speed.
Near or complete elimination of false positives.
Integration of multiple inspections in a single inspection point on the line.

When is a smart camera not a smart decision?

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.

In-Line Vision Inspector for Web Materials

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.

Boulder Imaging is releasing the in-line version of its Benchmark metrology inspection system

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.
