The Zoom 6000, 12X and Precise Eye lens systems are now available with Near Infrared (NIR) coatings. The new NIR systems are optimized for imaging in the 700 to 1,550 nanometer wavelength. These systems incorporate high resolution and sensitivity, and offer zoom magnification ranges from 0.09X to 228X or fixed magnification from 0.30X to 91X. The machine optics were developed to answer customer demand for a cost-effective NIR lens option. The lens systems are designed for a broad range of manufacturing applications including backside photomask registration, SOI bond inspection and internal silicon structure and photoemission microscopy. Field of view and magnification remain unchanged from the non-NIR systems. The flexible modular systems allow for a customized solution. Both zoom or fixed options are available with detents and apertures. The motorized Zoom 6000 NIR and 12X NIR systems facilitate automation of the inspection process beyond manual systems.

iNspect software, version 1.4.5.0, provides a suite of machine vision inspection tools for positioning, measuring, barcode reading, 2-D matrix reading, text reading, object recognition and flaw detection. These tools are easily applied using a simple point-and-click graphical interface. The software supports a range of communication options and protocols, such as Ethernet/IP and Modbus, in addition to direct connection with popular PLCs. Advanced capabilities allow operators to interact and control external equipment before and after inspection processing.
Combining high-resolution with ultra-compact, lightweight dimensions, the CS5260 color camera can integrate into machine vision systems, and is well suited for scientific soldering control, microscopy and visualization tasks. With a 1/2-inch CCD with 768 (H) by 494 (V) effective pixels, this DSP camera has 140 different parameters that can be set via included software allowing for precise fine-tuning. The unit also has a random trigger shutter, full frame output, built-in white balance and 470 TV lines resolution, along with a standard camera link interface.

Accu-Vu fiber optic amplifiers are engineered to provide precise, reliable operation in applications such as parts presence, label detection, error proofing and thread detection. They are available with NPN or PNP outputs and are compatible with the company’s extensive plastic cable offering. The sensors have a dual 4-digit display, one-touch auto-teach manual adjustments and built-in timer functions with ranges from 250 microseconds to 20 seconds. Additional capabilities include auto power control to maintain a constant light emission level over the life of the sensor, and operator adjustable response times as fast as 50 microseconds.
