High speed camera
March 1st 2008

Industrial Vision Systems (IVS) has launched a range of highspeed ultra-compact digital monochrome cameras.

Rapid 90 frames/sec imagecapture rates combine with 800Mbit/second communications to deliver increased throughput in high volume applications such as medical device manufacture and food processing. Occupying less than 4in3, these cameras provide bug-free, plug-and-play integration with the company's NeuroCheck software.

NeuroCheck image-processing software is used in mission-critical inspection systems for real time quality control on the production line. Designed to IVS specifications, the cameras are speedy, even with 2 Megapixel image sizes, offering increased throughput with no loss of fault resolution.

Typical applications include high-speed character recognition, precision gauging and measurement of products, and checking completeness of assembly groups.

Each of the five models in the NCF range includes IEEE 1394(b) FireWire-compliant interfacing for communications and power, allowing out-of-the-box system integration. Digital image capture and transmission ensures sharp, noise-free 12-bit precision greyscale images.
