The CVS is fully supported by the machine vision software offered by National Instruments including Vision Builder for rapid prototyping and benchmarking, and LabView.
Vision Builder is designed to allow users to configure benchmark and deploy their imaging applications.
"With NI Compact Vision System, Alrad is well-equipped to offer any solution to inspection applications, from precise assembly guidance to high-speed packaging inspection", said Geoff Smith, Director of Alrad Sales and Marketing.
Alrad offers a variety of FireWire cameras, both monochrome and colour, ranging from 640 x 480 pixel to megapixel cameras that are suitable for use with the CVS.
