Image Management Technologies (IMT) has introduced the VC 2028, a very low cost intelligent camera for industrial applications which is a complete image processing system contained in one neat housing
High-resolution camera runs under software control
New from Image Management Technologies (IMT), the DuncanTech DT4000 high-resolution digital camera acquires 1600 x 1200pixel images at 10frame/s.
The camera is available to OEMs and systems integrators via IMT at the manufacturer's actual list price.
The VC2048/E is equipped with a variety of communications protocols including TCP/IP, UDP, FTP, SMTP, socket support, a Telnet-server and an HTTP server.
A website can be hosted inside this small smart camera that can be displayed using a standard web browser anywhere on the worldwide web.
The website can even contain JavaScript.
The Fast Ethernet communication capability allows continuous transfer of 15 images per second.
Pre-emptive multitasking makes it possible to run several processes at the same time; the user can change parameters 'on the fly' without any impact on the inspection process.
The VC2048/E can be used for real-time image processing functions such as run-length encoding, object labelling, binarisation, blob analyses and many others.
Like all the Vision Components products, the VC 2048/E smart camera is a complete image processing system contained within one compact housing.
It has a computational power of 1200MIPS, rivalling a 1GHz Pentium processor.
It offers 16Mbyte SDRAM image/data memory with 2Mbyte of Flash for program and data storage (expandable).
The process interface allows four inputs and four outputs.
Video output is via an 800 x 600, 46.875MHz SVGA monitor.
When coupled with the available development software, Code Composer Studio from Texas Instruments and the latest VCLIB image processing library from Vision Components, these machine vision systems are ideal for a variety of OEM needs including high-speed assembly lines, medical applications, motion analyses, motion tracking, vibration analyses, 2D code-reading, 3D measurements, security applications and many others.
All Vision Components cameras are built for industrial applications and are designed to be insensitive to shock and vibrations.
They have multiple I/O lines for direct control of external equipment, and for more complex control tasks they can easily be interfaced to a PLC.
