Compact bar code reader offers versatile mounting
For its versatile, high speed reading or decoding of linear and 2D codes on flat work and cartons within a depth of field of 50mm, the new AV1200 from Accu-Sort may be unmatched.
The Aviiva UM8 is a further commitment to innovation.
The cubic design integrates the best of Atmel technology to provide: higher sensitivity leading to a superior dynamic range even at an ultrahigh speed, easy implementation including flat field correction and automated tap balancing.
The outstanding design of the housing is very compact and ensures heat-dissipation, better sensor alignment accuracy that minimises the cost of optics and lighting, which are key features for multicamera systems.
The Aviiva UM8 is the first RoHS compliant camera migration for the complete Aviiva family range.
"This advanced member of the Aviiva line scan family combines the best of our technology associating higher performance and ease of use", commented Christophe Robinet, Atmel's Camera Marketing Manager.
"The qualification tests we performed with our clients confirms it is simply the best sensitivity product on the market, which definitely provides the key solution for the most demanding clients".
Additional benefits of the optimised size of the cubic design allows simpler camera accessories and significantly reduced multicamera system costs for customers in flat panel display inspection, PCB inspection and high performance web inspection applications.
The Aviiva UM8 is delivered with a CameraLink configuration interface that allows easy implementation of the camera into existing systems.
It includes fine gain and offset settings, an output mode of 8 to 12bit, flat field correction and automated balancing of the eight taps.
This camera is compatible with fast and power full frame grabbers currently available.
The CommCam GUI concept (graphical user interface) with its plug-and-play system has contributed to the success of Aviiva line scan cameras.
It enables automatic identification of the camera range, faster programming, multilingual programming of settings, easy saving process and uploading of firmware for upgrades and customisation.
The Aviiva UM8 production phase will start in June 2006.
