Credentials:
Leon Byrd received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His credentials include:
- 25 years as a machinist
- Vision system programing, integration and installation
- Cognex Certifications
- ControlLogix training
Specific Experience in:
- Insight Systems
- PLC Logic Programming
- Electrical Design
- Mechanical Design
Most Challenging Vision System Project:
- Leak Detection: “We were looking at pouches that developed leaks during manufacturing. We created a vision system that allowed for the detection of leaks by using line scan cameras and ultra violet light. This efficiently detected the leaking fluorescing product. ”
Professional Motivation
“I am most passionate about designing automated equipment from a mechanical and electrical controls perspective,” says Byrd,” I find it fascinating to see how a vision system can be used to capture defects that cannot be detected with the human eye.” He takes pride in implementing detection at high speeds.
