Video: Machine vision-motion system draws a line on quality
Pencil production via National Instruments shows synchronized integration of machine vision and motion systems.
The National Instruments video shows an application example for synchronized integration. Pencils of different colors are sorted.
Pencils are taken across a camera. Coherent image and position captures are taken. Positions of interest are buffered.
And when the pencils of desired color reach the nozzle, the nozzle is triggered and the pencils are sorted.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
