XGA-resolution camera upgrades machine vision
The XC-HR70 camera captures 29.2 frames per second and is the industry's first to deliver XGA resolution at such a small size, measuring just 29 x 29 x 30mm.
IEEE1394 cameras for demanding applications
Two new monochrome digital cameras are designed for high-speed high-resolution machine-vision applications.
Equipped with an RS232 interface for communications and control, the small (29 x 29 x 66mm) footprint XC-HR90 is easy to integrate into any industrial application.
It features a third-inch-type PS CCD with 1296 x 966 effective picture elements, newly developed by Sony for machine vision and exclusively available in the XC-HR90.
The use of square pixels assures a geometrically true picture for accurate measurement, and innovative partial scanning and binning modes allow the capture of very fast-moving action under RS232 control at rates of up to 190frame/s.
To further facilitate the camera's integration into vision systems, the XC-HR90 includes external triggering and electronic shutter speed control.
It employs a standard C-type lens mount, requires a single 12V supply and consumes only 2.5W of power.
It weighs just 80g.
"Analogue progressive scan technology is continuing to evolve", said Arnaud Destruels, European Product Manager for Sony ISS.
"As with all of our industrial products, the critical attributes are resolution, speed, control and size: to these the XC-HR90 adds ease of integration and backwards compatibility".
"Pushing the performance envelope whilst maintaining these attributes is the key to Sony's continuing success in this area".
The XC-HR90 is designed to accommodate the exacting conditions of the industrial environment.
As well as functioning in conditions of poor illumination (down to 0.5 lux), it is physically highly robust, operating from -5 to +45C, being tested for shock to 70G and vibration at 10G, and conforming to UL and CE standards.
The XC-HR90 will be available in mass production quantities by the end of 2006.
