VISION

Vision systems are vital for streamlining quality control by detecting defects, verifying assembly, and ensuring precision at every stage of production. Our engineering team seamlessly integrates these advanced systems into your automation processes, providing real-time, high-accuracy inspections that reduce waste and elevate product quality.

3D Vision-Guided Robotics 

We integrate 3D vision-guided robotics solutions to enable precise, intelligent automation in dynamic environments. Using advanced systems from Apera AI, KEYENCE, and other leading providers, our solutions allow robots to locate, identify, and interact with objects in three dimensions, regardless of orientation or variability.

These systems are ideal for complex tasks like bin picking, assembly, and quality inspection. By combining 3D vision with robotics, we deliver smarter, more adaptive automation that reduces reliance on fixed tooling and increases flexibility throughout your manufacturing facility.

Barcode Readers

At Black Controls, we integrate industrial barcode readers into our equipment. Barcode readers enable rapid, accurate data capture for everything from tracking parts and managing inventory to verifying product authenticity and ensuring regulatory compliance. Whether you’re dealing with high-speed production lines or complex logistics environments, reliable barcode reading helps to ensure the integrity of your processes.

We work with image-based barcode readers, which have become the standard in modern manufacturing and logistics due to their ability to read both 1D and 2D codes—including low-contrast, damaged, or directly marked codes on parts and components.

Barcode integration is just one of the many ways we help customers build smarter, more connected automation systems.

Vision Inspection

Vision systems are essential for modern quality assurance, enabling fast, accurate, and automated inspection across a wide range of applications. We integrate advanced 2D vision solutions into your automation processes to perform inspection and measurement with high precision. These systems detect defects, verify assembly, and ensure dimensional accuracy, reducing waste and improving product quality. We also implement AI-based inspection technologies that use machine learning to identify complex patterns, adapt to product variations, and enhance defect detection beyond traditional rule-based systems. 

Our solutions are built using trusted platforms like Basler, Cognex, KEYENCE, OMRON and more, fully tailored to your production environment.
