Machine vision technology, is one involving artificial intelligence, neurobiology, psychophysics, computer science, image processing, pattern recognition and many other interdisciplinary fields. Machine vision is mainly used a computer to simulate human visual function, from an objective picture of things to extract information, to processing and understanding, and ultimately for the actual test, measurement and control. The greatest feature of machine vision technology is fast, informative, multi-function.

Although machine vision has been difficult to trace the connector into the manufacturing sector in China the exact time, but is indisputable is that machine vision connector manufacturer in mainland China the first application is started in a number of foreign and Taiwan investment in mainland China manufacturers factory floor. The early nineties, Europe and Taiwan, some connector manufacturers set up plants in mainland China one after another, some with machine vision for manufacturing and testing equipment in the next few years are slowly being introduced into China, and all from the United States and Europe board systems, such as PPT, etc. At that time, the concept and application of machine vision technology is not mature in China's development, both hardware and software and technology there are some bottlenecks, such as the emergence of stability is not high, speed low, high technical threshold, the high cost and other issues , so typical of the very few specific applications.

The late nineties, the Chinese electronics manufacturing developed rapidly. Mobile phone, PDA, etc. The emergence and development of products, the increasing popularity of personal computers, so that the connector gradually expanded product applications, the output rising, increasingly sophisticated products, more and more dense pin. At this point, some foreign and Taiwan-funded enterprises in the production of machine vision are beginning to realize the importance, have been introduced from abroad, more visual inspection equipment. At the same time, with the computer, electronics, semiconductor and other related industries, machine vision is to achieve a breakthrough in the detection rate rising, the software algorithm continues to mature, prices are no longer prohibitive.

In fact, machine vision systems is still mainly from abroad, and Taiwan, the mainland almost no machine vision system integrators. However, the development of machine vision in China, but never stop. As time goes on, "machine vision" concept gradually into the electronics manufacturing industry's attention, more and more people began to generate interest in it, great business opportunities are also attracting people's attention. DVT, OMRON, COGNEX, NAIS and other companies launched intelligent camera, greatly reducing the system integration developers and site maintenance personnel, technical barriers, and ultimately led to the machine vision rapid development in China in recent years.

China's rapid enough to allow the development of world attention, the country, including many of the connector industry, including the increasing demand for machine vision, machine vision more and more foreign suppliers to enter the Chinese market began sounded the horn, manufacturers, component agents, system integrators in the country have sprung up. As a major user of machine vision systems, now part of the connector manufacturing companies have started from the domestic system integrators and equipment suppliers who purchase the machine vision inspection equipment, "the first international top connector manufacturers such as Tyco, Molex, Foxconn and other large companies are more is already in the company has its own automation equipment and machine vision system development team. "Tyco, Molex, said e-agent Hao Long.

Body established in the user's visual department, not only reduce the overall cost of the application of machine vision systems, but also greatly shorten the development and application of the cycle, but also to ensure more efficient and professional technical services. And this is directly spawned the Chinese machine vision market and promote the germination and development of an important force. With the move towards the domestic manufacture of high-end connector of the future Chinese machine vision market promising.
