The sequence trigger mode allows the user to pre-define on-the-fly changes to gain, shutter and/or region of interest (ROI) settings for a repeating sequence of up to 10 consecutive triggers.
JAI has released 5 megapixel camera with a GigE Vision digital interface.
The new progressive scan camera joins the recently released 5 megapixel Camera Link model as part of the Basic tier of the company's new three-tier C3 camera suite - a complete camera range based on JAI's Core Camera Concept.
The high-resolution camera is available in two versions: BM-500GE (monochrome) and BB-500GE (raw Bayer colour).
Both models are built around the Sony ICX625 2/3in CCD sensor (2448 x 2050 pixels - QSXGA) and are equipped with a standard GigE Vision digital interface, including RJ-45 connectors with thumbscrews to ensure reliable performance in industrial environments.
The BM-500GE/BB-500GE's sequence trigger mode allows the user to pre-define on-the-fly changes to gain, shutter and/or region of interest (ROI) settings for a repeating sequence of up to 10 consecutive triggers.
This is particularly useful in automated production line environments, where items being inspected might require different settings for different regions of the object, or where different settings are needed to properly inspect for different types of defects within the same region of interest.
This versatile and flexible mid-range camera offers superb thermal management and pre-processing to guarantee optimal sensor operation and high-quality images.
Potential applications include printed circuit board inspection, automotive parts inspection, glass inspection, traffic enforcement, fruit sorting on broad conveyer belts and facial recognition at security checkpoints.
The camera's well-crafted analogue front end design enables it to operate at 15 frames a second with full 5 megapixel resolution.
Partial scanning and binning modes are also provided for increased flexibility and performance.
The camera includes programmable general purpose input/output ports (GPIO) for flexible connection with external factory automation equipment such as PLCs.
In-camera pre-processing functions include automatic white balance, a look-up table (LUT) for dealing with difficult lighting conditions and a blemish compensation function which eliminates pixels with extremely low or high output characteristics by interpolating the neighboring pixels.
The BM-500GE/BB-500GE also features auto-iris lens control, making the camera suitable for outdoor applications with diverse lighting conditions.
