binning modes allow the camera to run at faster frame rates (23fps at 640 x 480) without comprising the quality of the image. The Lw560 is a board-level camera module ideally suited for custom and OEM imaging applications, while the Lw565 is a fully enclosed camera available off-the-shelf. Either solution can be modified to suit a specific budget or project requirements. Some common examples of customisations include optimising colour correction matrices that target specific colours of importance, fully customisable enclosures and/ or unique lens controller circuitry. These cameras are also available with a scientific-grade option that is well matched for collimated light applications such as ophthalmology.

Framing camera
Specialised Imaging has upgraded its SIM02 multi-channel framing camera with a new multi-spectral imaging configuration. This facility, coupled with the ability to take images at exposures down to 3ns with zero interframe time, enables researchers to study wavelength dispersion of stressed materials, measure rapid colour changes, and analyse transient temperature fluctuations.
The SIM02 offers up to 16 separate channels giving 32 separate images without compromising on image quality. Effects such as parallax and shading are eliminated and the high spatial resolution (>30 lp/mm) is the same frame to frame and in both axes.
Individual ultra-high resolution intensified CCD detectors offer excellent control over gain and exposure. The 8- and 16-channel version of the imaging system also incorporate a secondary optical view port, which allows other analytical instruments such as high-speed video, streak camera or time resolved spectrometer to share the camera’s optical input.
CCD industrial camera PixeLink, a provider of industrial cameras for the machine vision and microscopy markets, has released the PL-E950 CCD industrial camera. This high-resolution industrial camera further expands the company’s popular PL-E line of compact, affordable machine vision cameras.
Offering resolutions from VGA up to 4 Megapixels, PL-E950 cameras feature a Gigabit-Ethernet (GigE) interface that ensures fast data transfer rates. Available in both monochrome and colour versions, the PL-E950 is well suited to applications that require multiple, small-footprint cameras for security surveillance and monitoring, biometrics, parts inspection, metrology, and more.
As with all PixeLink cameras, the
Full remote control using Ethernet comes as standard, while an integral TFT monitor allows users to ‘see what the camera sees’ in real time, thus allowing easy optimisation of focus and lighting.

Complete Vision systems
Metrology system Boulder Imaging has released the in-line version of its Benchmark metrology inspection system. The Benchmark system provides micron-level in-line (or off-line) part measurement and conformance to specification for virtually any part or material in real time. The system provides accuracy exceeding 5µm and inspection speed beyond current CMM and laser-based measurement systems, allowing the system to be placed in-line for typical inspection applications. It can be used for first article inspection, reverse engineering, measurement of 100 per cent
of parts, or spot inspection. Benchmark also provides detailed reports for customers and ISO compliance.
Employing Boulder Imaging’s CIPT (Centralised Inspection Point Technology) approach, the Benchmark system is capable of rapid parts change-over. It provides automated set-up and self-calibration capability allowing customers to change parts and/ or inspection criteria quickly. CIPT also allows the inspection cell to be placed on the production line quickly and easily, or moved to another position.

The Visiosens platform concept provides a single sophisticated software interface for all cameras in all applications, including customised devices. The platform consists of a growing number of image sensors, a variety of output interfaces, complementary assembly concepts, mounts, filters, and an LED lighting ring option. For all variants, the user and system interface is built on a unified, future-proof, cross-platform software
PL-E950 can be combined with the PixeLink Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) to streamline and simplify the integration of the camera into machine vision applications.

Multiple camera variants Framos now supplies the VF camera series from Visiosens, a highly flexible and customisable image capture platform with more than 200 camera variants per image sensor.
development kit based on the latest .NET technology.
The robust camera housing is designed for industrial systems as well as for microscopy. It offers multiple mounting options on each side and the front face, which are all symmetrical to the optical axis of the sensor.
There is a choice of C-, CS- or M12-mount. An optional LED ring integrated in the housing and connected to the 8-pin I/O port saves money and space.
The system design and production
process is optimised for the variety of options and ensures especially short delivery times at an outstanding price-performance ratio. Key benefits and features include: resolutions from 0.3 to 10 Megapixels, single board design for USB2.0, 8-pin I/O port with 3 IN and 3 OUT ports, compatible with Windows and Linux and full hardware and software documentation.

For extreme environments Allied Vision Technologies has introduced the Prosilica GT, a range of GigE Vision compliant digital cameras specially designed to perform in extreme environments and fluctuating lighting conditions.
Designed to minimise field maintenance, the Prosilica GT features a rugged thermal housing for maximum heat dissipation. It also offers remote temperature feedback with automatic power-down at peak temperatures to prevent critical component damage. The Prosilica GT family features the latest CCD sensor technology, including a selection of Sony EXview HAD CCD sensors providing high sensitivity and excellent near IR response, and the latest Kodak KAI family sensors that combine high resolution and fast frame rates. Models from VGA to 6 Megapixels and up to 119fps at full resolution will be released in three phases, with the first models available in November 2011. Additional models featuring high performance CCD and CMOS sensors will be released in 2012.
