To
ship consistently high-quality products while keeping costs down, companies are
incorporating more automated inspections into their manufacturing processes.
Photoelectric sensors can handle simple visual inspections, but complex
inspections require machine vision. The range of machine vision products

reducing waste and improving productivity.
