Machine Vision System Suppliers

Vision ICS is a Cognex Certified Vision Integrator (CVI) for InSight™, VisionPro™, ProofRead™, and DVT products. Other companies we have experience with are listed below. Unfortunately, with hundreds of Vision companies in existence globally, not many integrators can claim in-depth knowledge of more than a few of them; however, vision systems have enough in common that we feel comfortable working with systems that we have little or even no experience with. We recommend these companies listed below to handle your vision needs, they are proven to work well for us and our customers.

Cognex Corporation

We have the most experience with Cognex. They are the largest dedicated Machine Vision provider in the world. They feature a broad range of products, from their Smart Cameras to High End PC & VME based systems. We have direct experience with Cognex InSight, VisionPro, ProofRead, CheckPoint, acuFinder, acuReader, OMI, as well as many of their Application Specific Products (ASP's).

DVT

DVT is now part of Cognex. They have a range of products that complement much of the Cognex InSight family of low end vision sensors. We have experience with both their Framework (the older product) and Intellect packages.

Keyence

Keyence makes a family of vision sensors that are primarily targeting the lower end of the spectrum of machine vision applications. They typically work best in very high contrast applications. They also make a color system that is a good gross color detector.

Matrox

You may be familiar with the video adapters from Matrox, but they also have a smaller division dedicated to Machine Vision systems. As one of the top PC hardware suppliers in the world, they have outstanding hardware and an excellent understanding of video/imaging technology. Their product has a pretty complete tool set, but tends to be more oriented/directed toward the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) market and in many cases are a favorite of various Robotic Vision Companies.

PPT VISION

PPT is one of the long term players in the Machine Vision market. Their strong suit in the past was blazing speed, but with advances in the PC Processor market this advantage has slipped some. They are now focusing on a more user-friendly programming environment with their Impact family of Machine Vision System. They have successfully filled the niche between the low end Smart Sensor market and the high end PC market.
