MACHINE VISION PRODUCTS

The new Manta cameras are designed with a modular and versatile concept for easy integration into machine vision systems. The Manta G-158 and G-040 provide excellent image quality, offer an extended feature set, and are equipped with the Sony IMX273 and IMX287 CMOS sensors.

The Alvium Series of embedded vision cameras are designed to offer high levels of flexibility and performance in industrial applications. Incorporating ALVIUM® Technology, Allied Vision’s unique application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), the Alvium Camera Series provides outstanding performance in machine vision imaging.

The 1024-LDH2 is a high-speed 1024-pixel, line scan, InGaAs camera that enables spectral domain OCT to capture detailed 3D volumes of the retina, nerve head, and choroid layer in the blink of an eye.

Canon’s new 3U3MRXSAAC is a 2.8 MP CMOS sensor equipped with an HDR drive function that achieves a wide 120 dB range at low noise levels. The sensor’s wide range results in a greater ability to extract usable information, even in situations where there is a substantial difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.

FLIR’s Firefly® camera is designed to combine machine vision features with the power of deep learning inference on-camera. With its integrated Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) users can deploy a trained neural network directly onto the camera and achieve inference on the edge. Its small size and low power are ideal for portable devices, and it provides excellent imaging with the latest global shutter CMOS sensors.

The Oryx 10GigE camera family of machine vision cameras offers the advantages of the latest sensors by supporting transfer speeds up to 10 Gbit/s, enabling the capture of 12-bit images at over 60 FPS at 4K resolution. The Oryx 10BASE-T interface provides reliable image transfer at cable lengths over 50 meters on inexpensive CAT6A. or greater than 30 m on CAT5e.

The Phantom® S990 is Vision Research’s highest throughput streaming camera available on the market designed specifically for machine vision applications. This imager combines Phantom premium sensor image quality, outstanding high speed technology, and record breaking direct data transfer speed to provide 9 Mpx at up to 938 fps and almost 9 Gpx/sec. The camera streams directly into PCI Express frame grabbers with up to 16 standard CXP6 channels, and is Gen-i-Cam compliant.

The ColdVision series from SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging is composed of an extensive array of light sources, fiber optic guides, and accessories designed to work seamlessly with each other for illumination purposes in machine vision and microscopy applications. 

MACHINE VISION NEWS

  • Digital twins enable real-time metrology precision by providing continuous monitoring and analysis of manufacturing processes, allowing for instant detection of defects and deviations from specifications.

  • Automate 2024 and CLEO 2024 are two major upcoming conferences and exhibitions focused on robotics and automation, and lasers and electro-optics, respectively. Let’s take a look at what you can expect if you attend either of these shows.

  • Laser technology plays a crucial role in machine vision, enhancing precision and enabling various applications.

  • Simply put, machine vision is a technology that gives industrial equipment the ability to “see” what it is doing while computer vision is an AI that processes and visualizes information, much like a human would. But things in this life aren’t always simple, are they?

  • Before 2023 comes to an end we want to go on record with three things that we guarantee will happen in 2024.

    (Guarantee not valid anywhere, anytime, and/or any place. Void everywhere.)

  • On the last day of Photonics West 2022, Jim Sullivan with Schneider Optics introduced the JADE series – a family of lenses designed for an image diagonal of 19.3 mm and optimized for machine vision applications.

  • The Machine Vision RV-Series from Canon is made up of a group of systems that are specifically designed to work as the “eyes” of robotic arm systems. Benefits for using these machine vision systems include one-time measurements of 3D pose, high-speed recognition, improved productivity, and reduced production costs. This series is ideal for use in industrial production applications such as automobile parts manufacturing, car manufacturing, and electronics manufacturing.

  • The RV1100 is a 3D machine vision system designed to measure and recognize randomly assembled production line parts with complex shapes and very few distinguishing features for robotic arm systems. It offers the benefits of one-time measurements of 3D pose, high-speed recognition, improved productivity, and reduced production costs. The RV1100 is ideal for use in industrial production applications such as automobile parts manufacturing, car manufacturing, and electronics manufacturing.

  • This year at Photonics West, Jason Palidwar with Iridian Spectral Technologies gave us insight into the three optical filtering solutions his company is focusing on in 2016.

  • Dylan Thomas, Texas Instruments DLP, introduces us to a highly accurate light steering development platform with high brightness and resolution ideal for a variety of industrial, medical, and scientific applications.
