New release includes faster enhancements
HALCON 8.0 provides more than 100 new operators and, for typical applications, the speed of the software library was enhanced by 25%, with single-operator speed increased up to 500%. The software's integrated development environment (IDE) for machine vision--HDevelop and HDevEngine--now provides assistants to simplify the generation of frequently used operator sequences.

Camera for fast machine vision
Using a rolling-shutter CMOS sensor, the 4-Mpixel Adimec-4150m operates at up to 140 full-resolution frames per second in continuous readout mode. Programmable regions of interest, NIR sensitivity, and full asynchronous capture provide flexible imaging. It generates high quality, blemish-free images.

CMOS cameras have global shutter
Camera models MV D1024E 80 CL 12 and MV D1024E 160 CL 12 feature 12-bit gray scale, flat-field correction, up to 150 frames/s at full resolution, and readout during integration. They are for demanding applications in industrial image processing. With a global shutter, even high-speed applications with microsecond exposure times are possible. The cameras are available with Camera Link interface.

FireWire cable extends distance
DataCELL MVC-800 extended-distance FireWire cable is for machine vision, variable-frequency drive control, and other longer-cable-run applications in rugged industrial environments. The MVC-800 cable is engineered within the FireWire performance specification up to 10 m end-to-end. It is UL-recognized and CSA-approved AWM-style cable with two 24-AWG data pairs?insulated with foamed polyethylene?and a 22-AWG PVC-insulated power pair.

UV and IR sources light machine vision
Company offers a range of UV and IR LED illumination sources from CCS. The IR range is available in 32 models, including high-density ringlights, power-saving backlights, and high-intensity LED arrays. A choice of two different peak wavelengths of 850 and 940 nm can be selected according to the object to be inspected. The LED directional characteristic can be selected between 15? for direct light types and 30? for plane emission types as standard models.

Dual-mode system includes software
GigaView high-speed camera system can now stream high-resolution digital video to hard disk for more than eight hours through its Gigabit Ethernet interface. Conventional mode records 1280 ? 1024-pixel images at 530 frames/s to onboard memory for up to 30 s. Continuous mode records 640 ? 480-pixel images at 250 frames/s for up to eight hours to record momentary disruptions, external interference, or equipment failures over long periods of time.

Optics reduce noise
Edge-blackened TECHSPEC imaging lenses are designed to increase contrast and reduce noise in imaging and electro-optical systems. The blackened edges prevent light from exiting a mounted optic, reflecting off the metal fixturing, and being re-imaged through the optical assembly.

Short-working-distance lens improves systems
Apo-Componon 90-mm CPN 4.5/90 lens has been designed for a magnification ratio from 0.2X to 0.4X. The focal length reduces required working distance, thus decreasing the space required for the camera-lens assembly. At f/4.5, the lens speed helps to increase image brightness and reduces system costs associated with illumination assemblies. The lenses are designed for 5 μm pixel size cameras having up to a 62-mm sensor.

Analog modules have 16-bit resolution
Analog expansion I/O modules are for the MicroSmart and MicroSmart Pentra PLCs. They have fast conversion times and 16-bit resolution. An eight-channel 0--10-Vdc/4?20-mA input module, as well as a two-channel ?10 to +10 Vdc/4?20-mA output module, are available. The modules easily snap on to the right side of MicroSmart CPU modules without extra cables or complex wiring. WindLDR software provides intuitive ladder programming, online editing, and simulation mode.
