Hey Guys.
I am considering using vision to "see" wax molds for an automated investment mold dipping project.
I know the variables must be huge but could someone give me a ballpark figure for a descent vision system.
Basically I am comparing the price between individual laser sensors and vision.
Thanks in advance.

2d IrVision runs about $5K. 3DL IrVision runs about $12K. After that add lighting, mounting, and programming, and you are probably looking at another couple of grand.
External vision systems can run from a few grand into the $30K+ range, depending on what you need them to do.

Good info.
I will probably try the laser sensors or something similar and go from there. -
If you are not using the offsetting and finding for adjusting motion, and are only using it for inspection and a go or no go situation, i would recommend Cognex their cameras perform all the validation in the camera and can give a pass/fail bits. Depending on speed and resolution cameras range in price from $3000 - $8000.

Hey I300I300
I am going to be checking landing zones for pickup and drop off. Picking from a supply rack, feeding to a robot feed table. Picking from the same table and returning to either the same rack or a finished rack, (still thinking on that one.
I think I will use the "kiss" rule until it proves inadequate.
Thanks for the info. -
A cheaper option would be National Instruments vision software with a Basler GigE camera.
Camera:
https://machinevisionstore.com/Catalog/Details/685 + lens(roughly 600 $). You can build your own cable for Basler camera.
Vision software from NI:
Development+Runtime: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/ro/nid/11700 (2500 USD).
One PC (from 200 USD).
Edit:
You also need http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/ro/nid/12892 (it's a driver for using the Basler GigE camera).
Development is needed only to program the software. If you have multiple systems you can use only Runtime license on them with software driver.
