Surveillance Camera Lens
Surveillance camera lens are slowly beginning to evolve with the technology that supports them. Before the digital age, a good majority of the surveillance cameras required that a lens be purchased for each camera. Currently, some cameras work this way, but a vast majority have the lens built into the camera. They are sometimes called [...]
Smart Perception And Hyperspectral Imaging
Smart Perception And Hyperspectral Imaging hyperspectral imaging Intelligent robotics has the ability to fundamentally change society. Both from an industrial and a social perspective. Smart perception is the key concept driving this evolution towards intelligent robotics. We could soon see cameras that are micro-sized observing every angle, depth or mode in any situation, and reporting [...]

3D Printing
3D Printing Though 3D printing may seem like a futuristic concept, the technology has been around for over 30 years. Chuck Hull created the first 3D-printing process in 1983. It was called "stereolithography". The process was described as a "method or apparatus to make solid objects by successively printing thin layers of ultraviolet curable materials [...]
Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric Sensors Photoelectric sensors, also known as photoeyes, emit a light beam that can be used to detect items, equipment or surface changes. The receiver measures the light patterns when the light emitted is interrupted by an object or reflected by it. This allows the object or surface to be identified. Photoelectric sensors can be [...]
