VDI and VDMA Cooperate in Machine Vision
November 24, 2015 | VDMA Machine VisionEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
VDMA is a new supporter of the standard VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Part 2: "Machine Vision - Guideline for the preparation of a requirement specification and a system specification" designed to serve suppliers and users of machine vision
Machine vision systems have become an indispensable tool of industrial production. They work fast and contact-free within the production system, executing their tasks in line with the production cycle.
But the optical approach is technologically challenging, resulting in specific requirements for the operating environment as well as for the components to be inspected by the machine vision system.
A well-structured procedure is indispensable for successfully implementing a machine vision application. The standard VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Part 2 is a guideline specifically geared to these systems and helps to prepare requirement and system specifications covering all issues relevant for later project management. The aspects listed can be applied to measuring as well as positioning, inspection and sorting tasks.
The VDI/VDE Society Measurement and Automatic Control of the Association of German Engineers (VDI) and the sector group Machine Vision of the VDMA (German Engineering Federation) have agreed on a cooperation to jointly disseminate specifications for machine vision. The guideline for the preparation of a requirement specification and a system specification is available from October 2015 as VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Part 2.
By cooperating with VDI, VDMA Machine Vision would like to contribute to distributing VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Part 2, not only to the machine vision community, but also to users of machine vision systems, since the standard helps to avoid misunderstandings and supports both suppliers and customers of machine vision systems in handling projects efficiently and successfully. VDMA has produced a video clip (www.vdma.org/flawless) illustrating the benefit of carefully prepared requirement and system specifications for machine vision projects in compliance with VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Part 2.
The cooperation between VDI and VDMA will go beyond this standard: "We are currently working on yet another standard concerning the acceptance test of classifying machine vision systems," says Michael Heizmann, chairman of the expert committee on machine vision at the VDI/VDE Society Measurement and Automatic Control. "We are pleased that the VDMA is motivating its members to become active in this body because we want to prepare concepts for this important issue that are not only scientifically sound but are also practice-oriented."
Heiko Frohn, CTO of Vitronic and board member of VDMA Machine Vision, welcomes the cooperation: "Our employees are active in VDMA and VDI committees. The well structured cooperation of both organisations prevents duplication of effort and creates synergies. The result is gratifying: I am not aware of any other standard for the communication between providers and users of machine-vision systems worldwide that is as open, accessible and as broadly accepted. I am pleased that in this important issue we are all pulling in the same direction."
The standard VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Part 2 "Machine Vision - Guideline for the preparation of a requirement specification and a system specification" is published by the VDI/VDE Society Measurement and Automatic Control. The standard is available in a bilingual (German and English) edition for the prize of EUR 68.40 at Beuth Verlag (phone +49 30 2601-2260).
