Machine vision software frees up application time

A Firstsight Vision product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Oct 25, 2004

Designed for quick and easy implementation, machine vision software frees up the time spent integrating system components allowing more time for developing the vision application.

There are times when your vision application really has to run on a 'real' PC, but what you actually need is a simple industrial 'vision-system-in-a-box' that just works.

Well, now you can have the best of both worlds with the new IPD NetSight 2.

The NetSight 2 is a robust machine vision solution designed for quick and easy implementation in a factory floor environment.

It has been designed from scratch to overcome the problems faced by end-users trying to implement PC frame grabber solutions or smart cameras into real world production environments.

The NetSight 2 frees up the time spent integrating system components allowing more time for developing the vision application.

The NetSight 2 uses a high performance Intel processor; it has multiple camera inputs, flexible communications and a comprehensive user interface.

The NetSight 2 is equipped to tackle almost any inspection tasks and can be supplied with MS Windows XP, or MS Embedded XP pre-installed.

The standard configuration includes 256Mb SDRAM, 20Gb Hard Disk, and an AGP based graphics output with a resolution up to 1024 x 768.

As standard the device includes comprehensive I/O and watchdog functionality including reject counters, encoder inputs and a watchdog timer along with a 7 status LEDs for rapid diagnostics.

The NetSight 2 is available with either three simultaneous fast analogue or camera link inputs with all models also having the ability to acquire concurrently from multiple IEEE-1394, FireWire cameras.

The Netsight 2 ships with either the Sherlock point and click machine vision software environment or the Sapera development environment for programmers, but can be configured with a range of different vision software platforms.

The IPD NetSight 2 gives you the industry standard PC compliance and flexibility that you need in a compact rugged industrial grade housing ready for the factory floor.
