Air-bearing spindles need no cooling
ABS series direct-drive, air-bearing spindles provide angular positioning and velocity control for applications including disk-drive testing, imaging applications, and precision wafer inspection. The ABS2000 is balanced to ISO 1940 G 0.4 tolerances. The design uses labyrinth-type sealing to minimize particle migration from the spindle, resulting in certification for Class 1 cleanroom operation.

OCR software compatible with smart cameras
New version of EconoCR industrial OCR software is for implementation on the Vision Components TMS320C6XXX digital-signal-processor-based VC20XX smart cameras. EconoCR's library routine format allows the software to be combined with 1-D bar- and 2-D Matrix decoding software to produce general-purpose video-camera-based automatic identification solutions.

Module supports JPEG standard
The CTR-1471 PC/104-Plus JPEG-2000 encoder card, an eight-channel video-compression module supporting the JPEG 2000 (J2K)--ISO/IEC15444-1 image-compression standard, is designed to withstand extreme-temperature operation (-40°C to +85°C) and high mechanical stress. It contains a dedicated wavelet transform engine, three entropy codecs, an on-board memory system, and embedded RISC processors to provide a complete JPEG 2000 compression/decompression solution.

3-D sensor runs in real time
Color 3-D laser sensor series is optimized for portable laser scanning. Data speeds up to 36,000 points per second can be achieved with 0.001-in. accuracy. CLS60 color sensor delivers 19,200 points per second. Integrated software supports real-time rendering, clean-up operations, parameters controls, surfacing, and data export.

CCD camera is sensitive
Running at 90 frames/s at 640 x 480-pixel resolution, the EC650 CCD camera incorporates a CCD sensor and achieves high sensitivity and low dark current through the use of Sony's HAD (hole accumulation diode) technology. Its snapshot shutter allows it to capture full-frame, stop-action images without a mechanical shutter.

Driver architecture is efficient
PC driver architecture operates with any IP transport protocol. It will handle the full spectrum of connectivity requirements for vision systems--from lower-performance TCP/IP connections to high-throughput, CPU-efficient data streaming via the company's iPORT IP transport protocol or the GigE Vision stream protocol.

Linescan camera responds fast
Having three times the responsivity and twice the speed of its predecessor, the Spyder GigE offers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact solution for high-speed Web, flat-panel-display, pick-and-place, and other general machine-vision applications. Available in 1k- and 2k-pixel resolutions with 14-μm pixel pitch, Spyder GigE provides defect detection and cost savings in lighting.

Zoom lens is compact
Compact X6 optical tracking, nonbrowning zoom lens (192-000) utilizes glass that can withstand long-term exposure to high levels of radiation (up to a total dose of 108 rads) and temperature (55°C) without discoloration. Operating at f/1.8 for most focal lengths, the lens provides high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400 to 750 nm.
