MACHINE VISION SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH ON-AXIS AIMER AND DISTANCE MEASUREMENT ASSEMBLY

Abstract:

An on-axis aimer and distance measurement apparatus for a vision system can include a light source configured to generate a first light beam along a first axis. The first light beam can project an aimer pattern on an object and a receiver can be configured to receive reflected light from the first light beam to determine a distance between a lens of the vision system and the object. One or more parameters of vision system can be controlled based on the determined distance.
