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.

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.

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.

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
