Designed for solar traceability Cognex has released the DataMan 302 ID reader designed specifically for solar traceability initiatives. The DataMan 302 features integrated, bank controlled, blue illumination for reading 2D barcodes on solar photovoltaic (PV) wafers. The high-resolution (1,280 x 1,024 pixels) image-based ID reader is ideal for decoding laser-marked ECC-200 data matrix codes used on PV wafers that comply with the SEMI industry organisation standard SEMI PV29-0212, published in February 2012.
The DataMan 300 series of image-based industrial ID readers provide high read rates and are able to decode multiple codes within one image, even if presented at an angle. The 2DMax+ algorithm can handle variations in code marking, codes with damaged data matrix clocking or timing patterns and codes degraded during the manufacturing process. In order to ensure complete traceability,
marks must be decoded at many stages of the solar panel manufacturing process. The DataMan 300 series includes flexible lens options, allowing the same reader model to be used in a wide range of applications.

Five Megapixel CMOS camera IDS has launched a range of uEye USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and GigE camera models using Aptina’s CMOS 5 Megapixel colour sensor (MT9P006) with new A-Pix Technology. The MT9P006 delivers clear and high-resolution colour images combined with excellent low-light performance which rival CCD image quality. The new sensor is available in the uEye USB
2.0 LE, RE, ME and SE families (UI-1580) and GigE CP
, SE and RE series (UI-5580). The new USB 3.0 uEye CP camera (UI-3580) combines the high resolution and extreme sensitivity of the new sensor with the ultra-fast USB 3.0 interface. Aptina’s A-Pix Technology features include lightguide and deep photodiode and 65nm pixel design that advance pixel performance.
The sensor enhances quantum efficiency and minimises crosstalk to capture sharp images with vibrant colours even in low-light conditions. The camera models are ideal for demanding industrial inspection and machine vision environments.

Scientific CMOS camera Andor Technology has launched the Zyla 5.5 Megapixel Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera. Ideal for research and OEM usage, Zyla sCMOS offers 100fps frame rate, rolling and snapshot (global) shutter modes and ultra-low noise performance, in a light, compact and cost-effective design.
Three-year warranty Basler has introduced a three-year warranty for all its digital and network cameras. Every Basler camera is subjected to very specific optical and mechanical tests before leaving the factory. This ensures that, regardless of when they come off the production line, Basler cameras always meet the same quality standards. Basler’s Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), John Jennings, commented: ‘Our customers expect very high reliability and repeatability and we take our responsibility in this regard very seriously. With our three-year warranty, we want to show that Basler stands behind our products and alongside our customers.’

Software 3D acquisition tool
Aqsense has released its 3D acquisition and processing wizard. The software tool makes developing 3D inspection applications straightforward without needing any programming skills.
The intuitive graphic interface allows the user to configure a camera, obtain the laser peak, generate a cloud of points and mathematically orientate it for further 2D analysis. Thanks to
a fast core based on SAL3D processing power, the 3D wizard carries out all the 3D tasks and the user only needs to export the desired result to any standard 2D tool to make the final measurements.
The package supports cameras including Photonfocus MV1-D2048x1088-3D03 and Automation Technology C4-4090-GigE. Aqsense plans to add more functionality in the future.
