What it is

The VIEW 719 is a general-purpose machine vision system introduced by VIEW Engineering in 1981.[1]

The VIEW 719 was designed for shop floor use.[1]

The VIEW 719 is a binary image machine vision system.[1]

How it works

The VIEW 719 uses binary image processing to analyze video images.[1]

Applications

The VIEW 719 is a general-purpose system, suited for automated dimensional measurement, defect detection, and alignment tasks in industries such as semiconductor device fabrication, integrated circuit packaging, printed circuit board assembly, computer data storage, and precision assembly.[1]

The system uses video technology to perform inspections without touching the parts being examined.[1]
