It is easy to try and evaluate the Scorpion Compact Vision System™ including Scorpion Vision Apps™ and Scorpion 3D Stinger™ solutions. The system is preconfigured with the latest version of the software including a complete set of demo profiles and tutorials describing how to take advantage of the system. The TordivelBlog is the site for inspiration and the best advice in making your machine vision app.
One Push 3D Calibration™
We have made it easier to calibrate 3D machine vision system with our own One Push 3D Calibration™ technology making it possible for anyone to maintain and calibrate a 3D solutions.

Version X.I is easier to use than ever with a complete new graphical user Interface
We have updated and improved the Scorpion Vision in Metro style to make Scorpion more usable and to be able to make a compact and friendly user interface with the minimum effort.
- Significantly improved, faster and easier to use Point&Click User Interface
- Integrated device independant integrated IO system
- Professional Point & Click Image Logging and Data Logging modules
- Off-the-shelf Color Identification System based on Scorpion Compact Vision
- Make your own custom user-interface with our Data Input Pages
Make the best OEM platform with Scorpion Vision Apps™ 2.0
We have improved the Scorpion Vision Apps™ to continue to lower the integration cost of machine vision in manufacturing. The user configures the App by point and click on custom configuration pages. The user screen is compact and easy to understand. The Scorpion Vision Apps™ are based on 2D or 3D machine vision. The open architecture of Scorpion Version X makes it easy to package OpenCV, Numpy and SciPy based systems in a professional Vision App.
Scorpion Vision Software® Concept
Scorpion Vision Software provides powerful image processing for 2D and 3D applications without the need of programming skills. Machine Solutions and Scorpion Vision Apps are developed in a user friendly graphical user interface that can be customized to show various amounts of information and controls to the operator. A number of different image analysis tools are available with user selectable outputs. This allows for rapid development from the simplest to the most complex image analysis tasks. The Scorpion Tool Components extends the Scorpion Toolbox with OpenCV, Numpy, SciPy or other image processing modules.
The user interface also has built-in statistics and logging capabilities making it ideal for process control and integrating with manufacturing database systems. Scorpion Vision Software® is an extremely robust and accurate 2D and 3D machine vision framework including: integrated python development, 2D toolbox of 100 tools, 2D and 3D visualization, 3D toolbox containing 50 tools, extremely accurate 3D stereo vision, a nice tool set for 3D point cloud processing.
Scorpion Vision Software® is an independent and open software tool. The system gives the user the choice of a small form factor of an embedded PC, a SmartCam, a Compact PC or the power of an Industrial PC multi-core PC. The system is founded on top of a standard Windows XP/7/8 PC platform. It is cost effective benefitting from the processing power of the multi core CPU, low cost – high quality firewire/usb/GigE cameras and the possibility of connecting multiple cameras to one PC.
The Scorpion Stinger family of hardware components is compatible with Scorpion Vision Software. Scorpion solves tasks within 2D and 3D robot vision, label inspection, assembly verification, color identification and gauging.
