Sphere measures LED intensity
IS-LI enables rapid, comprehensive measurement of the luminous intensity of LEDs and other small light sources. Based on patented integrating-sphere technology, the IS-LI acquires luminous-intensity data over an entire 2p steradian in a single measurement in seconds or less. The system delivers up to 16-bit luminance measurements, with an angular resolution of 1% or better.

Digital I/O system is ready to go
The RTG002 is a self-contained, programmable digital I/O system. It can be used stand-alone or connected to a PC via the USB 2.0 connection. The FPGA I/Os are directly connected to the digital I/O connectors, allowing them to be used as single-ended or differential signals with any mix of inputs and outputs. The Virtex-II FPGA can be programmed to provide logic or data-processing functions. The USB connection is supported via the company's Host-API software.

Vision cell directs robots
Robotic vision cell acts as an inline inspection machine, examining up to 150 component features in 5 s. It is equipped with an articulating robot arm that pulls product off a conveyor feedline, presents it to a single- or multiple-camera viewing station, then returns the part to the assembly process or rejects it into containers. Various product features can be inspected, including overall dimension, component presence, and relative position.

Barcode imager is safe
Quadrus MINI ESD Safe is a miniature fixed-mount imager that can be safely integrated into ESD-sensitive assembly processes. Its ultracompact size combined with high-resolution optics and a wide field of view allow close-range reading of static-sensitive parts and components. Featuring a megapixel sensor and powerful algorithms, the RoHS/WEEE-compliant Quadrus MINI ESD Safe reads long barcodes and high-density 2-D symbols in any direction on multiple surfaces.

Linear slide gives stability
The combined compact profile of the MDrivePlus and linear slide provides torsional stiffness and stability. The slide includes a precision aluminum guide and wear-compensating, antibacklash-driven carriage with precision rolled stainless-steel lead screw. Slots accommodate sensor bracket mounting onto the slide, with provisions for mounting a flag onto the carriage. An optional sensor flag kit simplifies mounting a common optical sensor.

Software tool enhances 3-D images
Using a Z-stack of images, 3D Surface Inspector module allows Image-Pro Plus users to visualize and measure their industrial or biological images in three dimensions. Images can be rotated to better understand their structure. Surfaces can be viewed from any angle and can be enhanced using texture mapping, wire frame, or pseudocoloring. Lighting, contrast, and shadows can be controlled for further image enhancement.
