Splitter interfaces frame grabbers
CLV-401 Camera Link Video Splitter interfaces one Camera Link camera to two frame grabbers, with one acting as the master. It supports Base configuration, and two can be combined to support Medium. CLV-401 can act as a repeater to double the distance between camera and frame grabber and can be cascaded to support four or eight frame grabbers. The splitter comes in aluminum enclosure with mounting flange and external power supply.

Frame grabber supports Camera Link
mvGAMMA-CL is a Camera Link frame grabber for digital CCD and line cameras. The frame grabber has a Base port with a maximum data-transfer rate of 95 Mbytes/s. An optoisolated IO for trigger and flash control is available at an additional connector. Configuration files are supplied for many CCD and line cameras, and an on-board processor converts Bayer Mosaic color images in real time to the current display format. This PCI-based frame grabber comes with ImpactGo! and the mvIMPACT Base Library with basic image-processing algorithms.

Sensor inspects blade surfaces
CMMaster Optical Surface Gauges are noncontact, full-field, 3-D measurement systems to measure surfaces up to 24 × 24 in. Quartz halogen lighting and a Ronchi grating create a structure light pattern that is detected by an optical system using a second grating to produce moiré fringes, which are recorded by a 1300 × 1300-pixel, 10-bit Pulnix CCD camera. In-plane resolution is ≤1.7 mm; depth resolution is ≤0.025 mm. Image-acquisition speed is <10 frames/s.Intelligent Quality SystemsToledo, OH, USA
