Genie Nano CoaXPress cameras built for speed
28/11/2019 |
Offering 16 or 25 MPixel resolution monochrome or enhanced NIR CMOS sensors, the new Genie Nano-CXP cameras from Teledyne DALSA can deliver 80 fps at 25 Mpixel resolution.
The small form factor, robust build quality and wide operating temperatures are combined with an exceptional feature set at a highly competitive price point. They have been designed to work synergistically with the half-length Xtium-CXP frame grabber to minimise CPU usage and improve processing times.
STEMMER IMAGING announces major updates to CVB machine vision programming library
14/11/2019 |
The release of CVB 2019 introduces new APIs to provide an innovative way of developing machine vision solutions with Common Vision Blox, together with an impressive range of new tools. These tools provide functionality for hyperspectral and polarisation imaging, as well as OPC UA machine to machine communication capability for Industry 4.0 requirements. In addition it is now possible to develop machine learning solutions on embedded platforms. Object recognition speeds have been greatly increased, as have video sequence recording speeds.

Four stages of machine vision in industry
08/11/2019 |
Machine vision is a well-established technique across a host of industries, improving quality and efficiency in the manufacturing and processing sectors. Its ability to make inspections reliably and at speed 24/7 makes it an invaluable enabling technology in quality control. Technological advances in machine vision continue to be made rapidly, opening up more and more possibilities.
Polarisation camera with inbuilt calculations gives new inspection possibilities
31/10/2019 |
The new JAI-GO-5100MP-PGE polarisation camera enables analysis of material thickness, stress points, and other defects not observable using standard imaging techniques. Featuring Sony’s IMX250MZR polarised CMOS sensor this GigE Vision camera can also reduce the effects of reflections and hot spots from shiny materials such as plastics and glass. The unique on-board calculation of key parameters such as angle and degree of linear polarisation frees up host resources for other processing tasks.

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.
