Adept Electronic Solutions will exhibit a number of new machine vision technologies with live demonstrations and vision engineers on hand at Stand 2917 during National Manufacturing Week 2006 at Sydney's Darling Harbour, from 30th May to 2nd June.

AES specialises exclusively in the supply and support of machine vision (the application of computer vision to industry and manufacturing) systems and components to customers throughout Australia and New Zealand.

New products to be featured at NMW include the following.

The iPD VA20 is a dual-camera vision appliance product designed to provide end users and system integrators with a practical machine vision solution for single- or dual-camera applications.

This DIN-mountable system has been designed to optimise integration and speed deployment by providing easily accessible control and intuitive software setup.

In addition, its built-in dual camera capability provides a cost-effective solution in multiple-camera applications.

The Netsight II M is a low power, turbocharged vision system that is form- and fit-compatible with its predecessor, but includes more features and is capable of delivering up to three times the overall performance.

Specified to interface the latest machine vision camera technologies, the NetSight II M allows users to customise system configurations to best suit their application and operating environment.

The Spyder Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) camera is fully programmable, offering precise control over key performance variables such as gain and offset.

Its capabilities exceed the previous generation Spyder and Spyder2 cameras and are three times more responsive.

At its core is Dalsa's latest line scan sensor technology, delivering throughput rates of 80MHz.

The high performance GigE interface transfers images directly to host PC memory without a frame grabber, giving users the opportunity to significantly reduce system costs.

This interface also allows for camera-to-PC separation of 100m and multicasting to multiple PCs for parallel processing operations.
