Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
Infrared Imaging at Telecomms Wavelengths
The widely used Electrophysics 7290A Micronviewer Infrared camera has now been enhanced with increased sensitivity at both 1310nm and 1550nm.
Good image structure based on cleverly arranged illumination is often the key to a successful machine vision solution.
With a line of laser light projected across an object at an angle other than that of the camera, accurate height measurements can be made.
High resolution grey scale detection using a halved pixel pitch line of sensors produces sharp images permitting very small defects to be detected.
Laser scatter measurements permit the inspection of a wide variety of products ranging from knot detection in wood to fruit and vegetable quality control.
Gloss measurements can be used for the detection of surface defects in shiny materials such as tiles and polished parts.
The patented Smart Vision Sensor is at the core of the system, flexible windowing and integration control together with on-chip processing are key principals of the MultiScan technology.
Each feature image is acquired on individual areas of the sensor, after A to D conversion data are passed to the PC memory via CameraLink.
The examples described here are just a few of the possible applications, imagination is all that is needed to provide solutions to many more inspection and measurement tasks. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
