Sensor views color
ZFV-C sensor distinguishes shapes and colors. Integrated color filters enable sensing of only selected colors when necessary. The ZFV-C also features a "Teach and Go" function with a color LCD screen and simple menu that reduce setup to a few steps. There are eight sensor functions available, including counting, pattern recognition, size verification, position, brightness, and text verification.

Camera works on the Internet
ITM-IPC66T camera for IP networks measures 84.1 ? 52.5 ? 1.6 mm. The integrated web server provides remote control via Internet or intranet so no special software is required. It comes with a configurable motion detector. Snapshots can be stored in a flash card or on the hard disk or can be sent to an e-mail recipient. Features include an image frame rate of 10 to 15 frames/s for VGA.

Rotary stages are low profile
Features of the ABRS series rotary air-bearing stages include direct-drive slotless, brushless servomotor; zero cogging motor for velocity stability; low-profile, planar design; and no mechanical contact. An optical encoder is standard with the ABRS. When coupled with the company's feedback multipliers and controls, resolutions of <0.03 arc sec are achievable. Custom versions of the ABRS are available for rate table and inertial guidance test-stand applications.

Systems extend Camera-Link signals
CFL-3 High Speed Base and the CFL-4 Base/Medium/Full digital camera extension systems operate at speeds from 20 to 85 MHz. They include serial connectivity for camera-control signals, pan/tilt/zoom, or to control accessories such as lighting or sensors. The systems are compatible with all Camera Link cameras. They permit placement of a digital camera up to 1000 m away from the controlling computer with transparent Camera Link operation.

Zoom lenses are compact
Designed for use with 1/2- or 1/3-in. CCD cameras, TV macro zoom lenses are for surface-inspection tasks such as semiconductor and LCD manufacture, PCB inspection, electronic-component production monitoring, and alignment. Lenses weigh less than 100 g, are compact, provide 4:1 zoom, and offer 173 mm of working distance. Eight lens magnifications (0.02X to 2.4X) are available, with or without integrated coaxial episcopic illumination.

Cameras work on the network
i?NET STREAM camera series utilizes both MJPEG and MPEG4 compression formats. The cameras accept all CS-mount auto-iris lenses. An audio feature is precisely synchronized to the video. The camera housing is a compact solid-metal security style. In addition to the digital RJ-45 connector, a separate analog BNC output aids security installers for lens field-of-view setups, as well as general operational checks during the installation process.

Small cameras offer functionality
Two models of small observation cameras are designed around Omnivision CMOS single camera chips to provide a high level of functionality in a small-footprint LCC package. The signal-to-noise ratio of each is >46 dB. The cameras come with approximately 1 m of connecting cable and connectors for video and power, or optional 20 m of AV cable and microphone, audio preamplifier, and 230-V power supply.

X-Y stage is compact
Open-frame precision positioning stage KDT 180 ? DC offers a low-profile design with overall height of 32 mm and square footprint of 199 ? 199 mm. Total travel is 60 mm in each direction with straightness/flatness deviation of 1 µm. Included are the drive mechanisms for each axis--a precision preloaded miniature ball screw coupled to a dc motor with rotary encoder. The table weighs 2.5 kg and can handle loads of up to 50 N.

Board-level camera is small
This small, lightweight (21 grams) board-level device is CMOS-sensor-based and has a full-frame shutter, an IEEE-1394 interface, and a small footprint. It can operate at up to 100 frames/s at full 656 ? 491-pixel resolution. It includes an area-of-interest feature that allows it to operate with higher frame rates at lower resolutions.
