Sampling of products from the past year
PCI Express frame grabber captures 16 channels
Sensoray’s Model 817 PCI Express JPEG frame grabber card captures 16 channels of compressed JPEG or uncompressed bit maps at 480 total fps. To provide flexibility, the board permits all capture parameters to be set independently for each channel. The Model 817 supports x1 or wider (x4, x8, x16) PCI Express slots.
An internal 16x4 analog cross-point video switch can route any combination of four input channels to external monitors. The Model 817 contains four identical VCPUs (video capture and processing units), each of which employs a four-channel video decoder to convert analog video into digital. A DSP (digital signal processor) captures digitized video and performs frame decimation, caption overlay, JPEG compression, and status reporting. Sensoray, www.sensoray.com.
IR thermometer uses visible light camera
The Extech/FLIR i40, i50, and i60 infrared thermometers feature a visible-light camera that lets you see the target and point the instrument. The i40 has a 0.6-Mpixel camera, while the i50 and i60 have 2.3-Mpixel cameras. All models feature a picture-in-picture display with fixed (i40), three-step (i50), or scalable (i60) images on a 3.5-in. LCD. With the i40, you can view the target image; the i50 and i60 include a semiconductor laser target, and the i60 is able to display the laser on the screen. The instruments can also find the hottest or coldest spot within a designated area. Temperature range is –20°C to 350°C (–4°F to 662°F) with 2% accuracy and 0.1°C thermal resolution.

Ultracompact vision board has 5-Mpixel resolution
With dimensions of just 40x65 mm, the VCSBC4012 nano is one of the smallest vision systems on the market, according to Vision Components. The VCSBC4012 nano is part of the company’s BoardCam family and features a CMOS sensor that provides a resolution of 5 Mpixels. It is a complete machine-vision system on a single board and is suitable for stand-alone operation. An external PC is not required.
The camera board offers computational power of 3200 MIPS and acquires images at 11.6 fps with a resolution of 2592x1944 pixels. In addition, it has 64 Mbytes of DRAM, 4 Mbytes of flash EPROM for program and data storage, and a 100-Mbps Ethernet interface. Vision Components, www.vision-components.com.
X-ray inspection system offers one-click operation
The Y.Cheetah 160-kV, 64-W microfocus x-ray system from Yxlon, which combines Feinfocus x-ray technology with high-speed flat-panel detectors, performs 2-D inspection and 3-D microfocus computed tomography for applications such as failure analysis, R&D, and production inspection. The Y.Cheetah provides magnification control through a twin magnification axis, offering Zoom+ and PowerDrive modes. The system offers an inspection area of 460x410 mm, which can be viewed at ±70°, even at the highest geometric magnification, and it can be customized through retrofit modules and components.
Y.Cheetah performs 2-D inspection and 3-D microfocus computed tomography for failure analysis, R&D, process and quality control, and batch, series, and production inspection. Options include a multifocus tube and high-power target, a module for 3-D inspection, and additional trays and manipulation devices. Yxlon, www.yxlon.com.
AOI system employs multiple cameras
OptiCon TurboLine, an automated optical inspection system from Goepel electronic for the production-line inspection of printed-circuit boards, employs a modular camera system that can be configured with multiple cameras for orthogonal and angled-view inspection. A 20-Mpixel camera module provides microscopic resolution with telecentric image recording in an inspection area of approximately 17 cm².
The telecentric lens allows imaging of components and solder joints, regardless of their position in the field of view or their height extension, without distortion or parallax error. The system’s Extended Colour Technology produces realistic color images of detected faults that can be viewed at repair stations at different resolution levels. Goepel electronic, www.goepel.com.
