Build Your Machine Vision Expertise — From Lighting to 3D Inspection

Designing a reliable machine vision system requires getting every layer right — from illumination to lensing, code reading to advanced 3D and AI-driven inspection. This hands-on training event brings together four industry leaders, each covering a critical component of a complete vision application, to give engineers, machine builders, and integrators the knowledge they need to spec, build, and optimize with confidence. Whether you’re new to vision or looking to sharpen your skills with the latest technology, each session is designed to deliver practical, real-world expertise you can apply immediately. Our vendors on site to answer questions and walk through demonstrations:

CCS America is the global leader in LED lighting for machine vision, providing the critical foundation for any imaging application. With a catalog of over 2,500 products, they specialize in precision-engineered illumination—including ring, bar, and coaxial lights—designed to create the necessary contrast for stable inspections. By mastering light wavelengths and angles, CCS ensures that vision systems can “see” defects that would otherwise be invisible under standard factory lighting.

Navitar is a premier manufacturer of high-performance optical solutions, specializing in the precision lensing required for advanced imaging. Their expertise lies in creating specialized optics such as the Zoom 6000 and 4K HDR systems, which provide the clarity and magnification needed for micro-scale inspection and high-resolution data capture. Navitar’s lenses are the vital link between the physical product and the camera sensor, ensuring diffraction-limited performance and edge-to-edge sharpness in demanding industrial environments. Lens selection can make or break your vision system. Navitar will guide you through field of view, resolution, and working distance considerations — and introduce their online lens sizing tool so you can confidently spec the right optics before you ever place an order.

Omron offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial cameras, ranging from high-speed GigE and USB3 models to the AI-driven FHV7 smart camera series. Following their acquisition of Sentech, Omron provides compact, robust camera hardware that integrates seamlessly into larger automation ecosystems. Their imaging technology focuses on rapid data transmission and high-resolution capture, allowing for real-time quality inspection, traceability, and “on-the-fly” processing without slowing down production lines.

SICK is a world leader in “sensor intelligence,” offering a diverse range of 2D and 3D vision solutions tailored for complex industrial tasks. Their portfolio extends from cost-effective vision sensors for simple presence detection to advanced 3D cameras (like the Ranger and Ruler series) that measure object height, shape, and volume regardless of contrast. SICK’s technology is particularly renowned for its ruggedness and its ability to solve difficult identification and robot guidance challenges in the harshest manufacturing conditions.

30 minute Training Sessions:

• CCS — Lighting Fundamentals for Machine Vision Learn why lighting is the most critical — and most often overlooked — element of a successful vision application. CCS will train you on how to select and position lighting to maximize image quality, improve inspection accuracy, and reduce false rejects. Walk away knowing how to light for success on your next project.
• Omron — Next-Gen Barcode Reading & Verification with the VHV5-F Get hands-on training with Omron’s new VHV5-F Autofocus Multicode Reader and In-Line Verifier. Learn how this powerful platform simplifies barcode reading and verification in high-speed production environments — a must-know for anyone building traceability into their machines.
• SICK — Machine Vision in 3D & AI-Powered 2D Inspection Take your vision capabilities to the next level. SICK will demonstrate how 3D vision technology is transforming measurement, guidance, and inspection — and how their 2D AI algorithms are making it easier than ever to solve complex inspection challenges without traditional rule-based programming.
