Extended dynamic range for imaging in difficult lighting conditions, region of interest function for increased speed, snapshot shutter for stop action imaging and plug-and-play compatibility
A new addition to the Lambda Photometrics portfolio, Prosilica, offers a range of sophisticated Firewire machine vision cameras, all designed for easy system integration.
The range includes two models, the CV640 (659x493) and the CV1280 (1280x1024), and come in colour/monochrome versions.
They are a range of plug-and-play digital cameras with standardised interfaces and advanced performance.
High frame rates (CV640 - 120fps), sophisticated triggering and superior sensitivity make this the camera of choice for many industrial imaging applications.
An option of a 1394b fibre optic interface is available on both models, which enables operation at up to 500 metres cable length in addition to a standard 1394a port.
All models can be combined with National Instruments's Compact Vision System and Labview or VisionBuilder software to provide a complete smart camera system, with up to three cameras.
Prosilica's NI Toolkit with VIs, Express VIs and extended camera controls provide users with high performance and flexibility.
The camera is also very useful in applications where cables are repeatedly flexed such as in robotic arms.
Among the features common to the cameras are extended dynamic range for imaging in difficult lighting conditions, region of interest function for increased speed, snapshot shutter for stop action imaging and DCam compliance for plug-and-play compatibility.
