2-Mpixel CCD vision system
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2005
The CV-2600 high-speed machine-vision system from Keyence features a 2-Mpixel CCD (1620x1220 pixels) in a compact camera housing. The camera sensitivity is adjustable in 81 increments. A flexible camera cable that can withstand over 1 million bend cycles is available for robotic applications.
The CV-2600 features a variety of inspection capabilities, including area, pattern-search, multiple-search, edge-angle, edge-width, number-of-edges, stain, blob, intensity, trend-edge-position, and trend-edge-width functions. On-screen programming menus guide users through simple setup procedures.
Newly developed ASIC technology enables high-speed, real-time rotational searches with a minimum speed of 61 ms. The high-speed CCD combined with a LVDS transfer method operates 2.5 times faster than conventional models, says the company.
The CV-2600 will average multiple images to yield stable, reliable data. Using a combination of subpixel processing and digitized image data, the CV-2600 achieves high accuracy and repeatability down to ±0.05 pixels. Subpixel processing allows the display resolution to be reduced to one thousandth of a pixel. Keyence, www.keyence.com.
