| | New Product or Process?
Phoenix Imaging provides Consulting Services to a wide range of
industries. The Consulting Services are designed to help a perspective
client understand the capability of machine vision equipment and software as it
may be applied to solving a unique inspection problem.
The Service is most helpful in the development of a new applications that
must be technologically "proven" as viable. When a product or
process is new, it is difficult to investigate "similar"
applications. The machine vision solution may involve much more than
simple implementation of "off-the-shelf" hardware. The solution
may involve the development of new lighting techniques, special optics or even a
new software tool to extract relevant information.
It is a common practice before the issue a purchase order for a
"Turn-Key" product to demonstrate the capability of a machine vision
system. However, there are times when the demonstration requires the sales
/ engineering staff to provide a protracted effort. When the application
requires more than the simple investigation of the system's capabilities a
Consulting Contract must be considered.
The Consulting Services may be contracted by the day or by project. The
Consulting Service can be performed by an Application Engineer or a Staff
Scientist, the fees are appropriate to the level of expertise required.
Key Benefits
- Detailed proposals are generated during extended Consulting Contracts.
- The viability of new inspection technique or system is demonstrated.
- Rapid deployment of machine vision technology is achieved using skilled
engineering resources.
- Most "In-Plant" demonstrations are covered for a nominal
Consulting Fee.
- Reduce the risk of purchasing "doomed" machine vision equipment
or software from sales organizations with little or no practical experience.
Capabilities
Phoenix Imaging started as a machine vision consulting firm in 1985.
With over twenty years of practical machine vision experience we have developed
the "know-how" to develop and implement a wide range of
technologies. We can help you develop the proper front-end optics, select
the best lighting approach and customize software for a complete solution,
select the optimum image processing equipment, generation of standard and custom
software.
- Front-End Optics and Lighting Solutions
- Phoenix Imaging offers an extensive selection of machine vision
sensors, lenses and lighting system. A a matter of fact Phoenix
Imaging provides the widest offering of OEM lighting systems
anywhere. Most of our high quality illumination systems were
developed out of the needs of specific customer requirements.

Products.
-
- Standard Machine Vision Products
- Phoenix Imaging offers a complete line of machine vision
systems. Starting with the most basic "PVS-30" system,
designed for simple high speed applications such as in-line bottle
inspections, electronic components inspection and feature presence.
-
- The PVS-60 systems designed for
industrial Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
projects that simple smart camera system can not perform reliably. This
system is based on the proven passive backplane / single board computer
(SBC) design that stands up well in industrial environment. The
system uses the Windows 7 Professional operating system and allows easy
integrations in the manufacturing plant.
-
- The PVS-80 is a special configuration industrial
image processing unit designed for high speed inspection using
a dedicated image processor. These system are based on the
the latest generation Intel multi-core processors and
implement Window 7 Profession OS. The system is
small enough for integration into customer systems and handle a wide
range of applications. The system is
provided with a Standard Image Processing Library, a Vision Scripting
Language (creates vision algorithms without low level coding) and the
VisionMaker™ image processing and algorithm development tool.
Standard system configuration is a NEMA type 1 enclosure.
-
- The PVS-100 provides the ultimate in flexibility and
speed. These system are designed for customers that require custom
operator interfaces and special features. The
system uses the
Windows 7 Profession operating system and can be programmed in
any of the Visual Studio
programming languages. The system
is based on the the latest
generation Intel multi-core processors with 4
GB memory and massive industrial 500 GB hard drives. The system is
pre-packaged in a NEMA type 12 enclosure for easy integration into
customer applications. The PVS-100 system is designed to handle a
wide range of applications and can be found in Phoenix Imaging AVSIS™
Surface Inspection Systems. The system
includes a Standard Image Processing Library, a Vision Scripting
Language (creates vision algorithms without low level coding) and the
VisionMaker™ image processing and algorithm development tool.
Standard system configuration is a NEMA type 12 enclosure, AC or Vortec
cooling options are available.
-
- Software Tools and Operator Interface Design
- Phoenix Imaging is different than most machine vision providers in the
fact that we generate our own image processing tools. The fact is
that most machine vision suppliers don't generate their own tools, they
simply implement tools created by someone else. Phoenix Imaging
creates dynamic link libraries (DLL) and Active-X controls (vision
tools) that can be customized for specific customer requirements.
The Phoenix Imaging "VisionMaker" development system offers
over 300 image processing functions that can be arranged in a nearly
infinite number of ways. This allows us to create vision
algorithms that function as required.
-
- System Integration and Robotic Cell Design
- Phoenix Imaging will provide complete inspection
system design and build for applications that require material handling
and part placement. We work with material handling companies to
insure that the proper components are being sourced and that they meet
project specifications. We provide a wide range of material handling
system with pick and place or robotic load into inspection cells.
Offer components can be hand loaded onto indexing conveyors or dial
tables and then automatically unload using pick and place or robotic
assist. No parts are to large or too small for inspection and the
positioning equipment to insure proper presentation.
