Vision 2014: Teledyne DALSA to Showcase Advanced Imaging Products
Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision, today announced an extensive lineup of imaging products to be featured at the VISION show, November 4-6 in Hall 1, Booth D 54, Messe Stuttgart, Germany.
These include the Piranha4 multispectral quadlinear camera, the Linea series of single line Camera Link and soon to be released GigE Vision models, the Genie TS 5 M camera, as well as a preview of the new Piranha XL multi-line CMOS TDI camera and the Xtium CLHS frame grabber.
The Piranha4 Monochrome and the Genie TS cameras offer High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging which outputs an image with a shorter exposure time and a second image with longer exposure to capture even greater detail. This functionality will be demonstrated for the first time at the VISION show.
An overview of each product follows:
* Teledyne DALSAs Piranha4 Multispectral is a quadlinear camera with RGB, plus Near Infrared (NIR) output. This latest Piranha4 extends imaging capability for many applications including 100% print inspection, banknote inspection, package and label inspection, and food inspection.
* The Linea series is comprised of feature rich, high value CMOS line scan cameras and is available today with a Camera Link interface, and soon with GigE. With 2, 4 and 8k resolutions and 80 kHz line rate, these single line cameras are ideal for machine vision applications including food, electronics, material sorting, rail and web inspection, and where low cost deployment is essential.
* The Piranha XL multi-line CMOS camera and the Xtium CLHS frame grabber offer a complete solution for next generation high speed inspections in light starved conditions such as flat panel display and printed circuit board inspection. The Piranha XL and Xtium PX4 are among a growing number of new cameras and frame grabbers engineered to take advantage of the AIAs Camera Link HS interface standard.
* The Genie TS series now includes a 5M model that can reach speeds of up to 51 frames per second in fast mode. Unique features like multiple Regions of Interest (ROI) significantly reduce the amount of data transferred while allowing systems to focus on critical processing events. The Genie TS is suitable for a wide range of applications including intelligent transport systems (ITS), entertainment, medical, food and beverage, electronics and printed circuit board (PCB) inspection.

Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
