What it is

The View Engineering 719 is a general-purpose, binary image, machine vision system for shop floor use. The View Engineering 719 was introduced in 1981.[1][2][3]

How it works

The View Engineering 719 uses binary image processing to analyze video images. The View Engineering 719 is part of a product line in which the later View Engineering 1119 combined the 719 with the 1101 and added pattern recognition and edge detection capabilities.[2][1][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Machine vision systems of this class are typically placed at manual or automated inspection points near fabrication, assembly, or packaging operations. Machine vision systems of this class commonly receive parts from a manufacturing step that creates features to be checked and pass accepted or sorted parts onward to subsequent handling, assembly, or quality-control steps.

Applications

The View Engineering 719 was suited for automated dimensional measurement, defect detection, and alignment tasks. View Engineering machine vision systems were used primarily in semiconductor device fabrication, integrated circuit packaging, printed circuit board assembly, computer data storage, and precision assembly and fabrication. View Engineering machine vision systems used video technology to perform inspections without touching the parts being examined.[1][2]
