Fast global shutter and ultra-high frame rates for high speed measurements
01/10/2019 |
As one of the first to feature a CXP-12 interface, the Optronis CamPerform Cyclone series of high-speed cameras are sure to create excitement in the machine vision sector. Thanks to the new CXP-12 interface and four CXP-12 channels they can achieve an unprecedented overall data transfer rate of 50 Gbit/s.
With a choice of sensor resolutions from 2 to 16 MPixels, frame rates of more than 2000 fps are possible at full HD resolution for high speed inline inspection, laser triangulation and 2D/3D metrology. Reducing the scan window to 256 x 8 pixels delivers an incredible 250,000 images per second. STEMMER IMAGING can also provide the expertise, frame grabbers and other components needed to harness the full capabilities of these cameras.

Two image processing stations for fault-free aluminium trays
20/09/2019 |
Aluminium trays are used worldwide in a wide range of shapes for packaging food. Novelis Deutschland GmbH, with the help of the system integrator, Industrielle Sensorsysteme Wichmann GmbH (ISW), and based on machine vision components from STEMMER IMAGING, has produced a two-stage inspection system to check the quality of the trays.
High resolution trilinear colour camera reduces integration costs
10/09/2019 |
Teledyne DALSA’s new Piranha4 8k trilinear colour camera offers improved colour imaging at a lower cost using Teledyne e2v’s latest CMOS 8k trilinear sensor. Independent exposure control for each channel for uniform image brightness and an ASCII command or an advanced GenICam-compliant interface makes the camera easier to setup, control, and integrate into high resolution application sub-systems or OEM solutions. Application areas include printing, PCB, electronics, film, and large format web inspection.
Machine vision systems protect endangered birds
05/09/2019 |
On account of the increasingly strict wildlife conservation regulations, wind turbines have to be switched off when a protected species of bird approaches them. With the help of artificial intelligence and components from STEMMER IMAGING, a machine vision system from phil-vision banishes the danger of birds being struck by wind turbine blades and minimises expensive downtimes.
Direct interfacing of smart 3D vision system with robots
29/08/2019 |
The use of small to medium-sized collaborative robots for factory automation applications is growing at a rapid rate. Many of these applications are pick-and-place, so the robots require machine vision to visualize the scene, process information to make control decisions and execute precision-based mechanical movements.

New high speed camera for motion analysis
08/08/2019 |
The new Optronis CamRecord Sprinter-FHD offers full HD resolution at more than 1,800 fps for recording and analysing fast processes in fault analysis, quality assurance and ballistics. The TimeViewer software allows objects, or points tagged using a marker, to be automatically tracked at sub-pixel accuracy from image to image, enabling precise recording of the path of an object. Image data are buffered in a fast 16 GB memory and saved either to an internal SSD hard disk or on a PC.
