High performance lens made for linescan
Firstsight Vision has introduced an 85 mm f4.5 lens designed to improve the resolution and flexibility of advanced inspection systems using linescan cameras up to 12K with 5 micron pixels.
High speed imaging works with laptop PC
Firstsight Vision said it is now possible to record images directly to a laptop disk drive or USB memory stick connected to the laptop in real time, with a choice of resolution and speed.
The X64-CL iPro includes support for multi-tap configurations from both area scan and linescan cameras simultaneously and offers on-board FPGA based processing at low cost.
The FPGA based image processor, called the Re-loadable Processing Engine frees up the host CPU by performing tasks such by performing shading correction and Bayer on board.
It also features input lookup tables for Base and Medium monochrome and RGB cameras, further simplifying any subsequent image processing steps.
The onboard Data Transfer Engine can perform real-time input tap adjustments and can also perform autonomous image transfers to ensure data integrity.
The X64-CL iPro further facilitates ease-of-use with LED status lights, providing visual feedback when the correct camera connection is made and when an image grab is in progress.
These visual indicators allow developers to recognize if cabling has been correctly set up, greatly speeding up the diagnostic process. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
