New Cameras Range From Smart To Simple At Photonex!

The new smart camera being officially launched on the 1st October offers End Users, Vision Integrators and OEMs a fully integrated machine vision system in an ultra compact, IP rated industrial enclosure. Packaged complete with proven inbuilt software it eliminates the need for programming and installing software due to configuration via a standard web browser interface.

The simple colour camera is available in 1.3Mpixel and 1.7Mpixel resolutions and plugs directly into a VGA monitor, with no need for PC control. The image can be frozen at any time and then saved directly onto a removable SD memory card. Full control of colour, brightness, contrast and white balance are provided, together with auto-exposure and an automatic gain function for use in low light levels. Adjustable crosshairs can also be displayed to highlight features of interest within the image.

The Xenics range of infrared cameras offer extended wavelength imaging capabilities through the use of a variety of IR detectors, including InGaAs. InGaAs detectors deliver good results in the near infrared up to 1.7 µm, even at room temperature, and with thermo-electrical (TE) cooling they can be operated up to a wavelength of 2.5 µm – a real alternative to HgCdTe detectors. A wide variety of linear detector arrays for linescan imaging are also available.

Capable of running at 60fps with 4 megapixel resolution, the Falcon 4M60 colour camera uses DALSA’s patented sensor technology with global shuttering to eliminate imaging issues, such as smearing or time displacement artifacts, often associated with full frame, frame transfer, or rolling shutter cameras.
