Teledyne DALSA launched its Calibir GX series of long wave infrared (LWIR) cameras for industrial vision applications. Built to achieve frame rates of up to 90 fps, the shutterless and small form-factor GX series are ideal for non-destructive testing in applications that include food inspection, parts and packaging, and electronics inspection.
IDS Imaging Development Systems is building upon the success of its USB 3.0 uEye CP series of machine vision cameras by introducing three new models with lightning-fast USB 3.0 technology.
Originally developed to acquire raw images from analog machine vision cameras, frame grabbers were once expected to be replaced by direct-to-PC technologies. Experience has, however, been otherwise.
Frame grabbers were developed in the early days of machine vision to provide a connection from analog cameras providing NTSC and PAL output signals to minicomputers requiring digital signals placed directly on data buses for digital memory storage.
The Basler ace series of cameras provide a 29 by 29 millimeter footprint, Power over Ethernet, and integration on both the hardware and software sides.
