Pencil production via National Instruments shows synchronized integration of machine vision and motion systems.

Machine vision pencil sorting, National Instruments

The National Instruments video shows an application example for synchronized integration. Pencils of different colors are sorted.

And when the pencils of desired color reach the nozzle, the nozzle is triggered and the pencils are sorted.
