Ace 2 with Gpixel sensors Basler is expanding its portfolio of digital industrial cameras to include models with CMOS sensors from the manufacturer Gpixel. Te 16 new models in the Basler Ace 2 camera family offer customers a good mix of performance and price for cost-conscious factory automation applications, robotics and automated optical inspection. Two global shutter sensor models have


been added: Gmax2505 and Gmax2509, with resolutions of 5 and 9 megapixels. In the Ace 2 Basic line, these offer a compact, affordable


Harrier 4k autofocus-zoom Te Harrier 18x AF-zoom HDMI 4k camera is the latest in Active Silicon’s Harrier range of cameras. Te model is a compact autofocus- zoom camera with real-time 4k video output and 18x optical zoom. Fitted with an 8.4-megapixel Sony CMOS


sensor, the camera provides HDMI video at 4k and HD video formats at 30 or 25fps, and simultaneous CVBS analogue output. Te camera also offers features including: real-time true, wide dynamic range; day and


Bobcat 320 SWIR cameras Tree new 320 x 256-pixel SWIR cameras have been introduced by Xenics to its Bobcat 320 family. Te first is the Bobcat+ 320, a high-


performance SWIR camera for demanding applications with an optional extension into visible wavelengths covering 400 to 1,700nm. Te camera also has two readout modes: integrate then read (ITR) and integrate while read (IWR). In IWR mode, with overlapping read and integrate phases, the user can optimise the exposure time for a given frame rate requirement. Te camera also has two selectable gains, including a configuration with 60dB of dynamic range. Te second new introduction is the Bobcat 320 TE0, an uncooled (TECless) camera priced at €5,000 (unit price in volume order of 20 units). Tis makes SWIR more affordable for industrial applications. Te third camera is the Bobcat 320 WL, an uncooled and windowless camera to

solution, together with the company’s lenses, accessories and the Pylon camera software suite. Te maximum benefit of this camera- sensor combination is delivered by the Ace 2 Pro models with the features Compression Beyond and Pixel Beyond. All 16 models are equipped with USB 3.0 or GigE interfaces and deliver frame rates from 12 to 64 frames per second. With a starting price of €429 for the


5-megapixel global shutter version, the 16 new models can keep down the total cost of ownership of an image processing system. www.baslerweb.com


night mode with infrared cut filter removal; and digital noise reduction and digital image stabilisation. With its small size and high resolution, the block camera is ideal for applications where broadcast-quality UHD vision is required, such as medical and surgical imaging, high-end security and high- speed industrial inspection. Other HD Harrier modules deliver 3G/HD-


SDI, HDMI, USB3 and IP H.264 Ethernet with optical zooms of 10x to 40x. www.activesilicon.com


EoSens 21CXP2 New from Mikrotron is the EoSens 21CXP2 camera. Te camera combines a 21-megapixel global shutter CMOS sensor with the Coaxpress 2.0 interface. Te camera is supplied with a rugged,


compact metal enclosure for industrial environments. It is equipped with precise triggering, 2 x 2 binning and simplified set- up for integration into factory automation, 3D laser triangulation, automated optical inspection of LEDs and PCBs, metrology, surface analysis and broadcasting systems. Te EoSens 21CXP2 is capable of


acquiring 5,120 x 4,096-pixel colour or monochrome images while operating at 230fps. By deploying ROI and on-chip binning modes, the camera will capture images as fast as 5,120 x 128 pixels at 5,582 fps or 5,120 x 32 pixels at 12,764 fps. Te sensor achieves 66dB dynamic range. Sensitivity is enhanced when users apply


the camera’s 2 x 2 binning mode, heightening the signal-to-noise ratio up to 51dB, while enabling faster readout speeds. In addition, a large full-well capacity of 120ke-


permits


high light signals to be captured without blooming. www.mikrotron.de


Ultris 5 hyperspectral Cubert has extended its family of light field snapshot hyperspectral cameras with the Ultris 5. Te camera uses a 5-megapixel sensor to record complete data cubes of 250 x 250 pixels and 50 spectral bands at 15Hz across its 450 to 850nm waveband. Te camera is housed in a 30 x 30 x 50mm package. Te camera is suited to automated


minimise the number of optical elements and consequently internal reflections. Bobcat 320 WL is suited for applications such as laser beam analysis or wavefront sensing, where unwanted reflections from optical surfaces should be limited to avoid interference fringes. As the camera is also TECless, both the


Bobcat 320 TE0 and WL are in the same price range. All three cameras have a GigE interface. www.xenics.com


inspection, process control and robot guidance, but is especially capable of meeting the stringent demands of medical imaging and food quality applications. Snapshot data cubes take the full hyperspectral data cube in one capture without the need to combine lines or co-registered image sequences, making the real-time identification of tumour margins for surgical imaging possible and high-throughput inspections of food quality and safety. Configurations of the Ultris 5 are available for endoscope and microscope use and custom wavelength ranges upon request. www.cubert-gmbh.com
