Pour les applications dans des conditions difficiles, le fabricant américain Imperx introduit des caméras GigE avec certification IP67. Les appareils compacts (42 x 48 mm) et légers élargissent encore leur champ de travail en vision industrielle.

Le nouveau boîtier de protection de la caméra se suffit à lui-même. Les caméras bénéficient d’une « solide protection contre les particules », qui les protègent de la poussière, de l’eau et du sable. Les appareils peuvent être immergés dans l’eau jusqu’à 1 mètre de profondeur pendant 30’. Ils utilisent un connecteur M12. L’appareil est disponible en 12, 9, 7,1, 5 et 3 MP.

Imperx utilise les capteurs CMOS à obturateur global Pregius de Sony. Doublés du traitement d’image sophistiqué de la caméra, ces capteurs offrent d’excellentes prestations. De plus, GigE Vision® et Power over Ethernet garantissent une installation et une intégration irréprochables. Pour une protection supplémentaire, Imperx propose également des tubes d’objectifs IP67 de différents diamètres.

Qualité, polyvalence et robustesse sont les maîtres mots de cette innovation. Les caméras IP67 constituent une solution idéale pour les applications industrielles telles que la pharmacie, l’agroalimentaire, l’agriculture, l’automobile, l’emballage, le contrôle de processus, l’inspection, etc.

Principales caractéristiques des caméras Imperx IP67 :

• GigE Vision® avec PoE ;
• C-Mount intégrée pour objectifs standard ;
• connecteur industriel M12 standard pour une connectivité fiable ;

Why is it important?

Currently, the best passive USB3 cables on the market are unable to surpass lengths greater than 5M. There are other active cables on the market, but they are not backwards compatible to USB2, and are unable to plug & play in a standard USB environment. These other active solutions offer insufficient wattage for the camera and expensive optical solutions do not support power over the cable and are very delicate. Their performance instability leads to unreliable performance resulting in image errors due to the cabling.

The Solution:

CEI's USB3 BitMaxx cables offers the Industry's First STABLE Plug & Play active cable solution for USB Vision, supporting full 5 gig USB3 throughput and power delivery up to 20 meters in length with full USB2 backward compatibility. Designed with the emphasis for durability and dependability using high grade copper and robust shielding to protect against EMI, CEI's USB3 BitMaxx cables provides excellent and reliable performance. Available with a variety of connector and cable choices including right angle exits and Robotic grade cable. Each assembly undergoes rigorous testing and verification before leaving our facility.

Application?

USB3, USB3 Vision, Industrial USB3 applications that require long distance cabling.

Les caméras Cheetah d’Imperx sont célèbres pour leur conception robuste et leurs excellentes performances à basse luminosité (les caméras étaient initialement conçues pour la NASA). Une caméra CMOS de 31,5 MP dotée d’une résolution de 6 464 x 4 852 en format optique APS-C a récemment été ajoutée à la gamme Cheetah.

The robust design with wide operational temperature range and automatic exposure/gain controls make these cameras attractive for surveillance, defense and aerial imaging applications. These camera’s low-noise, excellent uniformity, and low dark current produce image quality that’s also prized in many inspection applications such as OLED and LCD flat panels, electronics assembly, and more.

The Cheetah CLF-C6420 camera with Camera Link Full interface achieves frame rates up to 17 frames per second, while the POE-C6410 camera with GigE Vision® Power over Ethernet (POE) provides frame rates up to 3.6 frames per second. Both cameras feature the new 31.5MP Sony IMX342 CMOS image sensor with 3.45-micron pixels in a 22.3mm x 16.6mm image area (27.9mm diagonal).

The Cheetah C6420 and C6410 cameras have a compact body size (60.0mm x 60.0mm x 59.5mm) making it an excellent choice for applications with space restrictions and for updating older CCD cameras in existing applications.

Cheetah C6420 / C6410 Features

Global Shutter ● -30 °C to +75 °C Operating, -40 °C to +85 °C Storage ● 8, 10 or 12-bit output Color or monochrome ● 71 dB dyamic range ● Ultra-low dark current ● Auto-exposure and gain control ● Auto-white balance ● Flat Field Correction ● 4 LUTS ● Bad Pixel Correction ● Multiple areas of interest ● Multiple trigger and strobe output modes Opto-isolated inputs and outputs ● GenICam™ Compliant Software interface (C6410 only) ● Field upgradeable firmware

Bitflow commence avec NVIDIA-Powered CoaXPress Embedded Vision Solution.

BitFlow, Inc., a global innovator in frame grabber technology, underscored its commitment to embedded vision by demonstrating a high-speed CoaXPress-NVIDIA® embedded imaging system at the recent Laser World of Photonics Show in Munich, Germany. This Small Form Factor (SFF) solution was engineered with lower hardware requirements so it can reside in compact devices or be integrated directly into a larger mechanical or electrical system, all while minimizing space, cost and energy consumption.

AutoVimation: Boîtier en acier inoxydable Shark disponible

The first small batch of the new Shark stainless steel housing is now available ex stock in three lengths. The camera attachment is based on the patented Quicklock/Heatguide principle as in the Orca housing and thus guarantees a good thermal connection. Cameras up to a cross section of max. 62x62mm (depending on corner radius) and lenses up to max. 85mm diameter can be used. Like the Dolphin, the Shark is built in a consistent hygiene design and meets the protection class regularly required in the food industry with IP69K. The seals are resistant to most of the aggressive cleaners used in these industries, e.g. Ecolab P3 Topax. In addition to acrylic, other window materials such as germanium or BK7 glass are possible.

Beresheet pushed free from the Falcon 9 about half an hour after launch, kicking off a 40-day journey to lunar orbit followed by another week before landing on the Moon, scheduled for landing today.

The all important images are being captured via the Beresheet’s camera system utilising a colour (RGB), 8-megapixel, Imperx Bobcat B3320C. It has a 60 x 80 degree field of view, and a resolution of 2488 x 3312 pixels. That’s a nice wide field of view with plenty of pixels, similar to the human eye.
