New high-speed, high-resolution machine vision camera
Stemmer Imaging is now supplying the Vieworks VC-12M-65 industrial camera that combines high resolution with fast frame rates. Featuring the latest 12 megapixel (4096 x 3072) global shutter CMOS sensors from CMOSIS, these monochrome or colour cameras produce high-quality images at frame rates up to 65fps. They can be used for applications such as PCB inspection, automated optical inspection machines, 3D inspection and scientific imaging.
The VC-12M-65 is the latest addition to the VC series of cameras and is equipped with either a CameraLink (VC-12MC-65) or CoaXPress (VC-12MX-65) interface. These cameras are characterised by their outstanding noise reduction technology for high-quality imaging and offer both high-speed image processing and precise exposure control.
Frame rate up to 377 fps
According to Stemmer Imaging, the fast frame rate of up to 65fps at full resolution can be increased even further using the flexible Multi-ROI (region of interest) function to optimise between resolution and speed; a frame rate of 377fps can be achieved at a resolution of 4096 x 500 pixels. Furthermore, the Multi-ROI facility enables up to 32 regions to be defined on the sensor array.
The VC-12M-65 also features flat field correction to improve image uniformity resulting from uneven lighting. The colour version of the camera has auto white balance control, which is applied to the entire pixel data.
