World Machine Vision and X-Ray Inspection Systems Markets
Frost & Sullivan, Feb 2007
This research service titled World Machine Vision and X-ray Inspection Equipment Markets provides a detailed analysis of market drivers and restraints. It also describes the challenges faced by machine vision and X-ray equipment vendors, and provides strategic recommendations to overcome them, along with revenue, end user and geographical analysis. Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following end user segments: electronics manufacturing, medical/life sciences, automotive, aerospace and defense, and others.
Market Sectors
Expert analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research:
-Machine vision inspection equipment
-X-ray inspection equipment
Technologies
The following technologies are covered in this research:
-Smart Cameras: Smart cameras are small digital cameras with onboard processors which enable them to capture accurate measurements by sorting various components by shape and color. By having all the necessary built-in interfaces, and eliminating the need for frame grabbers, smart cameras can be offered at lower overall costs.
-Ethernet Connectivity: Ethernet is a convenient component to many of the user-friendly software packages currently in use. This allows for an effortless connection process of machine vision systems to industrial networks. Ease in connectivity is likely to lead to an ease in overall use, as well as higher reliability rates.
-IEEE 1394 Serial Bus: IEEE 1394 has steadily replaced older analog-based systems. The interface does not require a computer host in order to function and, therefore, is able to produce higher sustained data transfer rates.
-Digital Systems: Digital systems offer a deeper grey scale, better signal quality, and higher resolution images for inspection purposes.
-Amorphous Silicon Technology: Amorphous silicon technology, which is prevalent in a wide array of industrial and medical applications, allows X-ray systems to achieve high resolution, yielding over 65,000 gray scales for analysis. The adoption of a-Si technology allows for flat images to be produced; this flatness alleviates any distortion that might otherwise appear around the corners of the images.
-CMOS Sensor Technology: Cameras equipped with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) sensors with constantly-improving resolution, will soon capture the overall market lead from those equipped with charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors. Driven by high consumer demand, CMOS sensors will continue to improve while increasing their applicability to an increasing number of inspection protocols.
-Storage Phosphor Plates: SPPs are systems for capturing digital-based images. They allow for the convenient development and deletion of x-ray images. Once an image is created and analyzed, SPP technology has the capacity to erase the image so that a new one can take its place.
-Picture Archiving and Communication Systems: The wide adoption of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), which is simplify the manner in which images are maintained and retrieved, eliminates the need for excessive storage devices, many of which are bulky and take up a large amount of space.
