VTX: Vision and imaging products

Stemmer Imaging is showing an impressive range of brand new products at the VTX exhibition (see note below). New products will be found on each of the company’s exhibition displays, which cover machine vision, general cameras, high dynamic range imaging, high speed imaging, illumination and thermal imaging.

The machine vision display will highlight the BOA range of smart cameras from DALSA with its small 44 mm cube form factor and IP67 rated housing. New for VTX will be a colour version of BOA, even further extending the range of end-user applications. All versions of BOA feature a full suite of vision tools based on the popular iNspect software, which can be configured using a standard web browser.

New cameras on show will include three new families from AVT, together with the AVT Prosilica GX which doubles the speed of GigE vision using link aggregation technology. Other new cameras include new models in the DALSA Genie series and the tiny (22 x 24 x 24 mm) IDS uEye XS which features an autofocus lens and 8 Mpixel resolution. New linescan cameras include the JAI LT-400CL - 3CMOS RGB linescan camera and the DALSA Spyder3 Colour with dual linescan technology.

High dynamic range cameras are growing in popularity and Stemmer will be showing the IDS uEye family of HDR industrial cameras offering a dynamic range of over 120 dB along with the 2 CCD JAI AD-081GE which offers independent control of shutter speed and/or gain for each channel. A dedicated display of high speed cameras will include new additions to DALSA’s Falcon range along with Optronis cameras with frame rates up to 10, 000 fps.

Also new for VTX will be the Xenics Bobcat compact uncooled infrared camera. With an InGaAs detector for high sensitivity in the near infrared, the Bobcat also features a unique embedded digital signal processor for intelligent real-time image processing. The company's impressive line-up for VTX is completed with a new range of laser diode light sources from Z-Laser.

VTX is one of the constituent exhibitions at Advanced Manufacturing UK in Birmingham (GB) 27/28 April 2010.
