Improved speed for machine vision camera range
New high-speed 2 Mpixel and 4 Mpixel CMOSIS monochrome sensors have been added to the Genie TS range of industrial vision cameras available from Stemmer Imaging to provide high sustained GigE Vision bandwidth. With Power over Ethernet for reduced cable complexity, the Genie TS camera platform delivers a wide and powerful feature set.
Teledyne DALSA's "Burst Mod" feature allows for high image capture rates with a true global shutter while maintaining exceptional image quality. The 2Mpixel (2048 × 1088) HD format version has a frame rate of 70 fps, with 37.5 fps for the 4Mpixel (2048 × 2048) version.
The Genie TS offers two image transfer schemes to make the most of the sensor capabilities. In automatic mode, data is output to the PC as fast as the incoming sensor data up to GigE speed. There is also a manual mode in which the Genie supports a set of features to control the data coming out of the camera, allowing flow control and buffering of a large sequence of images within the camera.
A rich feature set includes a wide dynamic range, achieved by combining multiple images at different exposures using the host computer within the user's own application. Also built into the tough compact body of only 49 × 49 × 54mm are motorised lens control with image-to-image aperture, zoom and focus functionality, auto iris, image compression, RS-485 and RS-232 ports and much more.
Suited to a wide-range of industrial applications including semiconductor, electronics, food, packaging and other manufacturing and assembly processes, the Genie TS was also the first machine vision camera platform engineered for Intelligent Traffic/Transportation System applications.
