PPT Vision announced two GigE-compatible specialty cameras including the 8-megapixel and 3-CCD models as well as the release of Version 10.3 of the Impact Software Suite to support all cameras in its M-Series embedded machine vision system.
The 8-megapixel, 4/3" progressive scan camera, with 3296 x 2472 pixel resolution and 10 frames per second (fps), is ideal for inspections that require a high-resolution, superior quality image and a wide field of view. The camera's rugged, industrial-grade architecture will withstand the rigors of manufacturing settings while delivering exceptional resolution and quality.
The 3CCD color camera has a prism-block assembly that supports three 1/1.8" CCDs to provide 1620 x 1236 pixel resolution, 15 fps and superior light gathering. With its high image quality and color fidelity, the 3CCD camera is designed for a wide range of color inspections within the printing, electronics and general manufacturing industries.
PPT's Impact 10.3 Software offers a number of key enhancements including an "auto-trigger" mode to automatically trigger a camera based on a user-defined time period as well as new drag-and-drop and angle tools. This latest version supports the new specialty cameras, as well as the full M-Series embedded vision system family, with added functionality and user control.
"These specialty cameras were developed by JAI, our strategic partner," said Bob Heller, CEO of PPT Vision. "We are pleased to partner with JAI in our continuing commitment to make the latest vision technologies available to solve today's complex inspection challenges."
"We are committed to offering the industry's leading vision and software technologies, coupled with superior engineering support and customer service-guaranteed" said Heller. "Today's announcement marks a bold step forward in our expanding product roadmap, which is truly exciting."
PPT Vision develops, manufactures and markets machine vision solutions for global markets, including automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics and general manufacturing operations.
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
