Robotics and Machine Vision Standards
Accuracy in machine vision systems is critical to achieving strategic goals regarding quality, efficiency, and consistency. Use our ACCUplace product lines to calibrate vision systems’ distortion, placement/alignment, or other field parameters in systems used for guidance, identification, gauging, and inspection. Using our specialized ACCUedge® technology, our Robotic and Machine Vision Standards are manufactured with line-edge quality that is second to none in the industry, providing the precision needed to calibrate almost any system. Should you need to alter feature patterns, size, or substrate to fit your needs, fill out our Optical Components and Standards form to start the conversation.

ACCUplace Dot Distortion Target
AP-DD Series
All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Distortion target is designed to detect the presence of both barrel/pincushion distortion as well as alignment distortion that causes the keystone effect. The precise amount of distortion is determined from an array of precisely placed dots in a regular array. The results can be used to correct for any distortion that occurs within the optical system. The AP-DD is offered on three standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) and Photo Paper (RM).

SINE M-15-60 Sinusoidal Array
The reflective Sinusoidal Array SINE M-15-60 is similar to the M-13-60 (1X version) except that the range of spatial frequencies begins with 0.25 cycles per mm and extends to 20 cycles per mm. To compensate for the additional frequencies, the 3/16 cycles per mm area has been eliminated. Both arrays are imaged on Photo Paper.

ACCUplace BullsEye /Recognition Grid
AP-B Series
A unique concept in imaging calibration technology, The ACCUplace Bulls Eye / Recognition Grid allows the end user to calibrate magnification at multiple power levels, as well as test the system’s ability to recognize and locate distinctive shapes within shapes by focusing on the concentric circles.Each Bulls Eye / Recognition Grid target has individual patterns consisting of 5 concentric circles with 0.50mm line width and 0.50mm spacing between circles (10mm Pitch) with a 0.100mm center dot. In addition, each row and column is labeled with X & Y coordinates. The AP-B series is offered on four standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

USAF Targets
These targets conform to MIL-STD-150A. Frequencies change by the 6th root of 2. This target is also available in custom sizes and contrasts. This test target meets requirements as specified in MIL-STD-150A for resolving power tests. The target consists of a series of Elements having two sets of lines at right angles. Each set of lines consists of three lines separated by spaces equal to the line width. Each bar has a length to width ratio of 5:1. (Line width is equal to one half of line pitch, which is the inverse of line frequency.) Elements are arranged in groups of six each and Groups are arranged in pairs. Even numbered Groups occupy the left side and bottom right corner and contain a square feature having and edge length equal to the line length of Element 2 in that group. Odd numbered Groups occupy the top right corner and side. Groups and Elements are labeled and differentiated by numbering adjacent to their features. Frequencies in cycles/mm (c/mm) increase between each Element by the sixth root of two (approximately 12.25% per step). The general formula for the line frequency of any target Element can be expressed as 2Group+(Element-1)/6.

SINE Sinusoidal Vision Demonstration Array
The Sinusoidal Visual Demonstration Array is designed to demonstrate the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the human eye. Its transmittance varies sinusoidally and increases in spatial frequency from 0.2 to 20 c/mm, following a logrithmic scale. The modulation increases linearly from top to bottom. One can see, in the image, where the visual contrast contour disappears which is the MTF of the eye. Ideally suited for teaching and demonstration, the Array is available on film mounted in glass (-G), or mounted in a 2″x 2″ projection slide.(-SL)

Square Wave Patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings)
Square Wave patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings) have extremely sharp edges. At APPLIED IMAGE, this sharpness is achieved through our unique manufacturing capabilities and processing technologies which produces the sharpest edges available anywhere. Our standard line of Ronchi Gratings is offered on Chrome on Glass (CG) and Photo Paper (RM).The Ronchi rulings are available on other substrate materials such as B270, quartz, BK-7, and White Opal as well as in English frequency metrics (cycles per inch).

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).
