SHOW PREVIEW: AUTOMATE


Machine intelligence


Automate, which takes place from 23 to 26 March in Chicago, USA, showcases the full spectrum of automation technologies and solutions, including imaging technologies. Here, we preview some of the vision equipment on display


BitFlow will show some of the capabilities of high speed CoaXPress frame grabbers with an array of different cameras. Tis demonstrates the versatility of BitFlow’s products. Tere will also be a demonstration of GPU Direct with the company’s Cyton frame grabber. Te combination of a high- speed frame grabber along with a high-end GPU can handle data rates reaching up to 25Gb/s. BitFlow offers frame grabbers for analogue, LVDS, Camera Link and CoaXPress. www.bitflow.com


controllers for industrial, scientific and medical imaging. Te company will be running a number of live demos. Framos has more than 30 years of


experience in imaging, supporting companies in automating their processes and production lines with easy to configure imaging systems and related components for application development. Te company supplies a comprehensive portfolio of imaging components, technical consulting and support. www.framos.com


Kithara Software will present new innovations in soſtware-based automation solutions, including real-time image capture with USB3 Vision and GigE Vision cameras, real-time image processing with Halcon 12 (and OpenCV), as well as integration into a higher-level EtherCAT topology. Te immediate reaction to incoming USB3


Euresys will display its Coaxlink Quad G3 card, which provides four CXP-6 CoaXPress connections for a total transfer rate of 25Gb/s, and a PCIe 3.0 (Gen 3) x4 bus. Tis CoaXPress card from from Euresys will be demonstrated at the show. Te Euresys Coaxlink Quad G3, Coaxlink Quad, Coaxlink Duo and Coaxlink Mono target applications requiring high data rates, high frame rates, consistent real-time timings, but also longer cable length, greater cable reliability and flexibility. www.euresys.com


Framos Technologies will be showing products from brands like Sony and Datalogic, as well as various lenses, lighting, and strobe


26 Imaging and Machine Vision Europe • February/March 2015


Vision or GigE Vision images happens with guaranteed response times of only a few microseconds. Tis allows for real-time tasks to be triggered, in order to instantly execute control commands. Te following image processing operation with HalconN 12 (or OpenCV) is still run within the real-time


context. Furthermore, the Halcon Logic Controller is a Halcon extension that enables developers to build and deploy machine logic inside the Halcon IDE (HDevelop) – from setting a single output to triggering a complex sequence in real-time. Kithara’s RealTime Suite is a modular


soſtware library for hardware-dependant real-time applications with constant new developments to its range of functions and features. www.kithara.de


Matrox Imaging will feature live demonstrations for all product lines including Matrox Design Assistant 4 (DA 4) and Matrox


Imaging Library vision soſtware, as well as the 4Sight GPm family of industrial imaging computers. Te new Matrox Radient eV-CLHS frame grabber, featuring support for the Camera Link HS interface, will be presented in the AIA booth at the front of the show. DA 4 is the first hardware-independent


integrated development environment (IDE) that lets users create an application flowchart and HMI easily, and take projects from concept to completion quickly without the need for conventional programming. It not only works with Matrox Iris GT smart cameras, but also any PC with GigE Vision or USB3 Vision cameras. Matrox 4Sight GPm industrial computers


feature a combination of embedded PC technology, compact size and ruggedness, making them ideal for cost-sensitive image analysis and machine vision applications. www.matrox.com/imaging
