STEMMER IMAGING

The RIC10 is offering a variety of options regarding the image sensor: High speed with the CMOSIS CMV2000 or CMV4000, delivering frame rates of 338 fps (2.2 MP) and 180 fps (4.2 MP) respecively. Alternatively high resolution with one of three image sensors from the Sony Pregius family, the IMX250 with 5 MP, the IMX255 with 8.9 MP, and the IMX253 with 12 MP.

With a data rate of up to 1.25 GB/s, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) ranks as one of the fastest available interfaces for industrial image processing. The data transmitted via 10GbE is encoded in such a way that bit errors are detected and corrected, thereby avoiding data loss. This error correction capability is inherent to the Ethernet standard and has proven itself to be reliable in industrial environments all over the world. Additionally, the packet resend feature of GigE Vision makes it possible to recover lost frames.

The RIC10 transmits image data up to 100 metres using the same standard and widely available CAT6a Ethernet cables used in generic network installations. This type of cable is considerably less expensive than CameraLink or fibre optics cables. Furthermore, GigE Vision and 10 GbE allow connectivity via standard network components rather than expensive frame grabbers.
