T&M and Monitoring

PPT VISION announces a significant breakthrough in vision system technology and capabilities with their just-released IMPACT® M-Series Embedded Vision System. The new M-Series System allows users to perform up to four unique inspections that can be initiated independently—at different times or simultaneously—utilizing a single vision processor. Significant cost savings are achieved by eliminating the need to purchase multiple systems for separate inspection/guidance programs, as well as greatly reducing setup and networking time.

Billed as The Perfect Eye and proudly claimed by the manufacturer to be the fastest CameraLink camera series in the world at present, the latest Photonfocus 1.4 megapixel, mono and colour cameras are based on their newly-developed 3rd-generation CMOS imager.

STEMMER IMAGING´s Common Vision Blox CameraSuite brings the flexibility of the GigE Vision standard to 64-bit operating systems.

Corporation’s new line of WaveMaster 8Zi-A digital oscilloscopes – the 8 Zi-A Series – now provides up to 45 GHz of bandwidth and 120 GS/s of sample rate – the world’s highest bandwidth and fastest sample rate real-time oscilloscope – combined with 768 Megapoints of analysis memory. Additionally, the introduction of a model with 20 GHz of true analog bandwidth on four channels provides the highest performance and signal fidelity available on four measurement channels. On all models, acquisition capability can be doubled with the use of the Zi-8CH-SYNCH Oscilloscope Synchronization Kit, with all acquired channels displayed on a single display grid.

Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, debuts HIROX’s new MXG-2500REZ lens with a wide zoom range and triple objective turret.

While multi-spectral imaging (capturing both visible light and infra-red light) traditionally has been difficult, the conventional two-camera solution has been costly, difficult to deploy and not capable of providing perfect pixel correlation in different spectral images. Jai has solved the challenge with the launch of the AD-080GE single-lens, 2CCD camera which provides simultaneous and perfectly aligned images of both visible and near-infrared light spectra and at a competitive price, too.

Measure vibration overall levels

Inovaxe, a world leader and provider of innovative material handling and inventory control solutions, debuts its Logistics Services Division to help small to mid-sized companies deal with the complexity and cost of using offshore manufacturers.

A new static gas analyser for anaerobic digestion (AD) biogas, and landfill gas monitoring suits tight-budget demand with top-quality design, components and engineering. The new GA3000 uses Geotech’s robust, field-proven technology to bring low-cost to automated fixed-position monitoring of methane-rich biogas. Easily operator installed, user field-calibrated and zeroed, the compact, self-contained, single-cabinet GA3000 has gas conditioning as standard. It continuously analyses CH4, CO2, O2 and optionally, H2S at 0-5000ppm. They are measured, at user-set timings, and supply data via three or four, 4-20mA local outputs. Users also set alarm levels and can see screen-displayed readings on a large, clear, backlit display.

It’s all about economies of scale. The FLIR i5 troubleshooting infrared camera has proved such a success worldwide that manufacturing volume has risen considerably in the last twelve months. And naturally the more cameras FLIR produces the lower the unit cost it can achieve.
