Daily Product Highlights 2007 p13 of 28:

• Stage is robust
  The ATS115 is hard-cover, side-sealed stage design for medium-performance applications. The robust aluminum cover is hard-coated for scratch resistance. The side seals keep dirt and particulates out of the stage, protecting the bearing surfaces from contamination and increasing stage bearing life. Vertical orientation of the seals easily deflects debris away from the stage and is superior to top-seal designs that can collect contaminants.
• Mezzanine card is flexible
  GX-AMC (GXAM) is the company's FPGA-only board based on Altera line of high-density FPGAs. This advanced mezzanine card (AMC) uses the Altera Stratix II GX FPGA to provide flexibility for the development and deployment of a variety of systems, including wireless infrastructure. Every AMC port aside from port 0 is connected to the Stratix II GX. To extend the inherent flexibility of AMC, the GXAM includes a front-panel mezzanine site with 76 LVDS pairs and four SerDes.
• Lenses resist harsh environments
  MML-ST series machine-vision lenses are designed to exhibit the highest-level optical performance when combined with 410,000-pixel cameras. They are available in five working distances, 65, 110, 150, 200, and 300mm, and are designed to enable simple and rapid mounting on manufacturing equipment. MMLs are telecentric lenses, which maintain a constant view angle to the subject by keeping the optical ray paths parallel to each other.
• Tracking device mounts easily
  Leica T-Mac device is a Tracker-Machine wireless control sensor that can be mounted on moving robots, machines, or parts whose position(s) need to be monitored in 6DoF (Degrees of Freedom) space. The Leica T-Mac works in tandem with the Leica LTD840, LTD709, and LTD706 laser trackers, as well as the Leica LTD800 and LTD700 laser trackers. The Leica T-Mac operates similarly to the wireless Leica T-Probe, but is designed without a contact probe or tip.
• SOM is powered by Intel processors
  System-on-module, SOM-5782, an embedded PCI Express SOM board powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo processors, offers PCI Express x16 support and provides a special heat-spreader solution that reduces thermal design effort. SOM-5782 expands upon existing COM-Express series in a form factor of 95 ? 125 mm. SOM-5782 comes with advanced I/O capabilities that include 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet, 2 x SATA, 1 x EIDE, 8 x USB2.0 ports, and high-definition audio.
• Camera system monitors packaging line
  InLine system captures line stoppages and automatically downloads images via Gigabit Ethernet,. InLine cameras operate in conjunction with machine-vision inspection systems. When the machine vision system senses and rejects a bad item, the InLine camera is triggered to automatically download the images to a preselected computer on the network. Analysis of the high-speed images show the line operator what caused the reject and appropriate adjustments can be made to the production line.
• Cameras make access to digital simpler
  Guppy camera models link formerly analog-only interlaced technologies and digital FireWire interfaces and makes the transition from analog- to digital-signal transmission easier. The new interlaced cameras are based on the same platform as other Guppy models and have the same compact form and FireWire 1394a interface. They are equipped with Sony interlaced CCD sensors with 0.25, 0.29, 0.38, or 0.44 Mpixels.
• Camera has starter kit
  mvBlueLYNX Starterkit comprises a mvBlueLYNX smart camera, as well as accessories such as the lens, tripod, power supply, and interface box. The camera features a 400-MHz PowerPC processor and 64-Mbyte system that contains an embedded Linux OS. The interface box features clamped connections for all digital inputs and outputs, as well as LEDs. The mvIMPACT Base library is included free of charge.
• GigE Vision camera captures high-speed events
  GC750 Gigabit Ethernet camera connects directly to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the host computer and does not require a frame grabber. The result is a low-cost alternative to analog-camera/frame-grabber options. The GC750 incorporates a progressive-scan CMOS sensor with global electronic shutter suitable for capturing high-speed motion events.
• Vision appliances give additional resolution
  Housed in compact, DIN-mountable enclosures, VA3X products provide quick user setup, factory-friendly wiring, and support for one or two cameras with choice of sensor resolution. Available in two versions, the VA30 comes with easy-to-use iNspect software, while the VA31 version additionally includes Sherlock machine-vision software. The VA30 comes with software preinstalled on the device, eliminating version control problems.
