Robotics and Machine Vision Standards
-
Accuracy in machine vision systems is critical to achieving strategic goals regarding quality, efficiency, and consistency. Use our ACCUplace product lines to calibrate vision systems’ distortion, placement/alignment, or other field parameters in systems used for guidance, identification, gauging, and inspection. Using our specialized ACCUedge® technology, our Robotic and Machine Vision Standards are manufactured with line-edge quality that is second to none in the industry, providing the precision needed to calibrate almost any system. Should you need to alter feature patterns, size, or substrate to fit your needs, fill out our Optical Components and Standards form to start the conversation.

Square Wave Patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings)
-
Square Wave patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings) have extremely sharp edges. At APPLIED IMAGE, this sharpness is achieved through our unique manufacturing capabilities and processing technologies which produces the sharpest edges available anywhere. Our standard line of Ronchi Gratings is offered on Chrome on Glass (CG) and Photo Paper (RM).The Ronchi rulings are available on other substrate materials such as B270, quartz, BK-7, and White Opal as well as in English frequency metrics (cycles per inch).

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).

SINE Sinusoidal Vision Demonstration Array
-
The Sinusoidal Visual Demonstration Array is designed to demonstrate the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the human eye. Its transmittance varies sinusoidally and increases in spatial frequency from 0.2 to 20 c/mm, following a logrithmic scale. The modulation increases linearly from top to bottom. One can see, in the image, where the visual contrast contour disappears which is the MTF of the eye. Ideally suited for teaching and demonstration, the Array is available on film mounted in glass (-G), or mounted in a 2″x 2″ projection slide.(-SL)

SINE Sinusoidal Single Frequency Gratings
-
Our SINE Sinusoidal Single Frequency transmittance patterns have proved to be very useful for specialized MTF Measurement as well as for such applications as moirè contouring. They are made on film base material with a nominal thickness of 0.175mm. This material is polyester and tends to be somewhat birefringent. The harmonic modulation values are generally 3% or less.

SINE M-15-60 Sinusoidal Array
-
The reflective Sinusoidal Array SINE M-15-60 is similar to the M-13-60 (1X version) except that the range of spatial frequencies begins with 0.25 cycles per mm and extends to 20 cycles per mm. To compensate for the additional frequencies, the 3/16 cycles per mm area has been eliminated. Both arrays are imaged on Photo Paper.

SINE M-6 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-6 contains the same gray scales and sinusoidal areas as the M-5 but is arranged in a shorter and wider format, making it particularly useful when the complete array is to be imaged at one time.The overall size of the array is 70mm x 46mm; centered on an 8.5 inch (215mm) strip of 70mm film, which can also be mounted in glass (TM-G variations) at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

ISO Test Charts
-
ISO has been the governing body for Image Quality Testing all over the world. To that end, APPLIED IMAGE is proud to be a participant in assuring that the industry has products that meet or exceed the requirements of ISO. Since ISO covers many levels, we provide test patterns of various types that can be used for Image Capture and Evaluation of Optical and Imaging systems of all types.

SINE M-14 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-14 was designed for various electro-optical applications, particularly where a small array is needed to fit into the frame. It can fit into an 18mm diameter circle or into a standard 35mm motion picture frame.The lines in the SINE M-14 lie perpendicular to the length of the film. In addition, the pattern is available on a wider film (without perforations) cemented between glass (TM-G options) both the .6 (-60) and .8 (-80) modulations.

ACCUplace Dot Distortion Target
AP-DD Series
-
All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Distortion target is designed to detect the presence of both barrel/pincushion distortion as well as alignment distortion that causes the keystone effect. The precise amount of distortion is determined from an array of precisely placed dots in a regular array. The results can be used to correct for any distortion that occurs within the optical system. The AP-DD is offered on three standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) and Photo Paper (RM).

SINE M-5 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-5 is made on a strip of 70mm film approximately 5.12 inches (130mm) in length.The upper row contains the sinusoidal areas with the spatial frequencies in cycles per mm. All sinusoidal areas are carefully oriented with respect to the others, and the lines at the left end of the array have been added for alignment purposes.
