View Engineering
The VIEW RB-1 is an automated, 3-axis, binary image, machine vision-based, dimensional measurement system introduced in 1977. The VIEW RB-1 was the world's first automated, 3-axis, machine vision-based, dimensional measurement system. The VIEW RB-1 was the forerunner of modern machine vision-based coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs).[1]

A machine vision-based dimensional measurement system is noncontact metrology equipment that uses imaging to locate edges, features, and reference points on a part. Machine vision metrology systems are used to automate dimensional verification, alignment tasks, and inspection work where optical access is practical and contact probing is undesirable.
The View Engineering RB-1 was an automated, 3-axis, binary image, machine vision-based dimensional measurement system. VIEW Engineering's machine vision systems used video and laser technologies to perform dimensional measurement, defect detection, alignment, and quality control functions without touching the parts being examined.[1]
Machine vision dimensional measurement systems fit into inspection and metrology activities rather than material deposition, pattern transfer, or removal steps. Such equipment is typically used between fabrication or assembly operations to verify that features, placements, and alignments remain within required tolerances before downstream processing continues.
VIEW Engineering's machine vision systems were used primarily in semiconductor device fabrication, integrated circuit packaging, printed circuit board manufacturing, computer data storage, and precision assembly and fabrication industries. VIEW Engineering's systems provided automated dimensional measurement, defect detection, alignment, and quality control capabilities.[1]
