Fast global shutter and ultra-high frame rates for high speed measurements

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.

STEMMER IMAGING publishes business figures for 2018/2019

Group shows revenue growth despite current challenging market conditions

• Revenue increases by 8.3 per cent to EUR 109.0 million in the 2018/2019 financial year (previous year: EUR 100.6 million) and therefore meets forecast (EUR 108 - 111 million)
• EBITDA at EUR 10.0 million (previous year: EUR 10.6 million) within the forecast range (EUR 10.0 - 12.2 million); the first half of the financial year was negatively affected by temporary integration costs
• Forecast for the planned short 2019 financial year: revenue between EUR 59.0 million and EUR 65.0 million and EBITDA of EUR 5.5 million to EUR 7.1 million

Two image processing stations for fault-free aluminium trays

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

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

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

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.
