10 GigE and 25 GigE Interface High-Resolution, High-Speed Cameras


I


f you are looking for high-resolution cameras with high frame rates, then the Emergent Vision Technologies 10GigE


and 25GigE Interface camera series will meet the requirements. ALRAD support the full range of Emergent Vision


Technologies Ultra High-Speed Area and Line scan cameras, accessories and Software. The 10GigE area-scan cameras from the HR-Series and HT-


Series offer resolutions from 2 to 50 Megapixels and frame rates from 338 fps at full resolution. These cameras feature the latest CMOS sensors from Sony (Sony Pregius) and AMS. The 25GigE area-scan cameras of the BOLT-Series offer


resolutions from 0.5 to 65 Megapixels and frame rates to 1594 fps at full resolution. These cameras feature the latest CMOS sensors from Sony, AMS and Gpixel. The 10GigE line-scan PACE LR-8K has a horizontal


image resolution of 8192 pixels and a single line rate of 137 kHz and trilinear line rate of 45 kHz. This enables high-speed low-noise image capture at 8K vision and ensures that inspection, sorting and production control application requirements are met.

ew compact VEGABAR pressure sensors and VEGAPOINT level switches mean VEGA is now a full-range process


automation level and pressure supplier. These new lower- priced instruments are designed for standard applications – in line with the latest industry demands.


New standard sensors with a focus on hygiene In many basic process areas, simple, cost-effective automation sensors for efficiency improvements are often the key requirement. To meet this, VEGA has introduced a new compact level and pressure instrument series, designed to be simple and highly efficient - without sacrificing dependability, hygiene or accuracy.


Standardisation gives birth to efficiency A hygienic universal adapter system can be flexibly selected and adapted according to individual needs and, if necessary, quickly exchanged between devices. It is fully compatible across these new pressure and level switches. They can also withstand intense CIP processes, and along with hygienic designs and surface finishes comply to industry approvals and standards.


Visible all around: illuminated 360° switching status display The sensor development focused on simple use, and this includes fast and easy indication. A 360° status display means switching states can be quickly seen on the plant, an ultra-bright LED ring, has 256 freely selectable colours and the remains clearly visible, even in daylight. This immediately and efficiently shows operators both the switch and process status.


Fit for the future with IO-Link The devices all feature IO-Link options, this enables sensor parameters to be stored and re-written to devices by the master or the controller if a sensor replacement is


made, reducing set-up mistakes and reducing down time. This ensures higher product quality, more optimal utilisation of the machines and increased process speed – delivering noticeable savings.


Bluetooth for faster set-up and adjustment All these devices, like many others in the VEGA instrument range, can be set up and monitored using Bluetooth and VEGA Tools App for Android and iOS. In environments where access is difficult, distancing is in place or the environment is inhospitable, the remote communication - even in ATEX areas – enables safer, faster and easier device operation.


Conclusion: Future-oriented automation from a single source Hygienic design, modularisation, high availability and easy operation means greater process efficiency. Backed by decades of experience, VEGA offers ground-breaking level and pressure measurement technology for the automation and monitoring of production systems.

designers. The EM1024 is a single-channel analog SinCos encoder multiplier and splitter designed for high precision motion control applications such as inspection and metrology systems. Two pairs of output encoder signals (four in total) are generated from the original incoming SinCos encoder signal; two buffered SinCos identical to the original, and two AqB with up to 1024 counts per SinCos period. The EM1024 enables higher accuracy and higher resolution triggering of devices in demanding motion control applications, such as wafer and flat panel inspection, and metrology, digital printing, and biomedical systems.


Common applications include: • Generating high-speed position-based signals (PEG outputs) or capturing high-speed position-based events (MARK inputs) at high resolutions with SinCos encoders.


• External devices (e.g. camera triggering boards) requiring digitised encoder signals from a SinCos encoder.


• Motion controllers or drives that do not support SinCos encoder inputs, but that must interface with SinCos encoders.
