TPL Vision will be integrated into the Wenglor group as a division, but will continue to exist as an independent business unit
Smart 2D/3D profile sensors now combine sensor and analysis module directly in the compact housing thanks to UniVision 2.4
UniVision 2.2, the software for two and three-dimensional image processing, enables smart cameras and control units to be integrated into controls via a Profinet interface
Wenglor’s new VisionSystem2D is a modular image processing system which has been developed for all vision applications
