Modular vision cameras easily exchanged
The Accupixel range from Pulnix is a family of Cameralink cameras that benefit from an extremely modular design, allowing for easy exchange of camera models should the application require it.
Successor to popular machine vision camera
The new JAI CV-A10/A70 CL monochrome/colour cameralink camera series from JAI is the successor to the JAI CV-M10.
The new camera has a host of potential applications.
It can be used for machine vision military surveillance, mine and safety inspection, underwater imaging and scientific applications.
It features Toshiba's proprietary electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) detector, which not only allows clear, crisp colour images to be obtained at light levels in the region of 10-4 lux (equivalent to moonless overcast conditions) but will operate in lighting right up to 102 lux (equivalent to direct sunlight).
This phenomenal dynamic range, which far exceeds capabilities offered by conventional CCD, low light CCD and 3rd generation image intensifier cameras, is achieved through the peltier-cooled, electron multiplying EMCCD sensor.
EMCCD technology creates an intense electric field on the sensor generating new electrons at very fast speeds without the common readout noise of traditional CCDs.
This gives full colour, virtually noiseless images at TV scan rates in almost complete darkness.
The new detector is 1000 times more sensitive than a conventional colour CCD and offers excellent spatial resolution of 658 x 496 pixels.
An electronic shutter, adjustable to 1/2000 seconds is incorporated. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
