Machine Vision Guide - Creating a Custom Solution

Creating a Custom Solution

Building a Custom Solution

Detailed Design

During the detailed design phase, we develop a complete drawing package for the optical system. If we have not done a design study, we start by developing complete specifications and a system layout. In either case, we make all glass and metal drawings, assembly drawings, and procedures. At the conclusion of the detailed design, we review the system drawings and final specifications with the customer to ensure the system, as detailed, meets the requirements.

Prototype

It is often desirable to build a small number of prototypes of a new system before committing to full production. This allows the customer to test the system in operation and perhaps identify some refinements. It also allows Melles Griot to prove that the design package is correct. We also develop assembly, test, and calibration procedures for the system.

Production

Melles Griot produces custom systems in quantities ranging from one to hundreds. During production, we continue to work with the customer to be sure the system is meeting the requirements.

Melles Griot recognizes that requirements evolve as products and production techniques improve. We are committed to supporting our customers through this evolution with continuing design refinements.

Engaging Our Services

We can help you determine if you need a custom solution for your machine vision challenges. The vision system planning worksheet is designed to help clarify system parameters and requirements. Once you have decided that you do need a custom system or component, contact our applications engineers at 1-800-828-9229 to initiate a discussion of what you need and how Melles Griot can help.
