Daily Product Highlights 2006 p4 of 22:

• Laser-diode module assists machine vision
  Series of industry-grade line-laser diode modules are for machine vision and alignment applications. They are easy-to-use plug-and-play laser systems suitable for alignment and positioning of materials including garments, cloth, paper, stone, wood, and metal. The lasers offer a wide range of projections including adjustable line, uniform or Gaussian, crosshair, line arrays, multiple dots, concentric rings, and scope.
• Monitor aids tracking
  JETVision Express system can be configured, packaged, shipped, and installed in days. A new universal mount enables users to set up JETVision Express in any business process that requires monitoring or tracking. JETVision Express provides a comprehensive selection of machine-vision modules ranging from single-camera operations to complex integrity and tracking systems. These modules read 1- and 2-D barcodes, as well as image patterns and font-independent OCR symbologies.
• Update features metrology tool
  Processing Pack 3 for Matrox Imaging Library measures and constructs geometric features. Users can measure finite features such as arcs, circles, line segments, and points in specific image regions and can construct features within the image as well as define and validate tolerances from dimensions, positions, and shape. Other Processing Pack 3 enhancements include a function to facilitate 3-D profiling.
• Interline sensor offers high speed
  KAI-16000 image sensor is a 35-mm, optical-format 16-Mpixel CCD targeted at the industrial, scientific, aerial, and security markets. Key features include electronic shutter, progressive-scan readout, two 30-MHz high-speed outputs, and a combination of low noise and high sensitivity. It can be integrated into new camera designs, ensuring short product-development cycles.
• Gain boost brings light into darkness
  Company has expanded its driver software for uEye series of cameras. Key is the "gain boost" function, which brings light into darkness. When gain and exposure are no longer sufficient, the analog image signal is "amplified," brightening the image by a factor of 1.4 to 2, depending on the camera model. The gain-boost feature is available for all CCD monochrome models and many CMOS versions of the uEye series.
• System is embedded
  DeepSea G2 Stereo Vision System is a small, multipurpose, embedded stereo camera that can be deployed in mobile platforms such as commercial and defense robots or automobiles, or networked into person-tracking security systems. The low power and small footprint of the embedded G2 vision system permit real-time 3-D vision processing in applications and products where traditional workstations cannot be used.
• Software recognizes display hardware
  Artista Control Center is software that works in conjunction with the ArtistaNET or ArtistaUSB display controllers to control multiple displays simultaneously, showing similar or different content with just one PC via connection to a LAN or USB interface. Client PCs that have traditionally been necessary at each monitor are now redundant, reducing total cost and simplifying installation. The software automatically recognizes up to six Artista kits.
• Toolkit assists access to remote hardware
  Version 8.0 of DSP21k Toolkit is a collection of libraries, applications, and diagnostics that help users to easily integrate their applications with the company's hardware and includes the Host Interface Library, BitLoader, Diag21k, DSPTest, DSPBAD, FlashLoader, and DSPGraph. The Toolkit now supports both 32- and 64-bit operating systems, making it possible for Toolkits running on 32-bit systems to access remote hardware on 64-bit systems, or vice versa.
• Software runs on Sony XCI-V3
  Release 3.1.1 of ActivVisionTools runs on Sony's XCI-V3 camera. ActivVisionTools' open software architecture is extensible and scalable, and an image acquisition interface for the Sony XCI-V3 is now integrated in the ActivVisionTools software. When the program is installed on the Sony XCI-V3 smart camera, the camera works like a PC under Windows XP for rapid development of machine-vision applications.
• Linear actuator is alternative
  Linear actuator is designed for positioning requirements in electronics, semiconductor, medical, packaging, assembly equipment, automotive, and other applications. It is lead-screw driven and provides an electromechanical alternative to a pneumatic actuator. The actuator uses both Kerkote TFE coating and Kerkite high-performance composite polymers in combination with precision lead screws and is designed to accept NEMA size 17, 23, and 34 motors.
