Basler launch the Smallest GigeVision Camera |
|
|
The cameras provide an extremely small 29x29 mm footprint, Power over Ethernet, high-performance features, and very easy integration on both the hardware and software sides. The ace series will initially consist of four camera models in monochrome and color with resolutions from VGA to two megapixels and featuring a C-mount adapter. All cameras are equipped with a CCD sensor. The first ace models will be available in March 2010.
Smallest Footprint:
The ace camera series is targeting the replacement of analogue cameras, USB cameras and IEEE 1394a and b cameras that are based on the standard 29 x 29 mm footprint. Up until now, this footprint has not been available on cameras with a Gigabit Ethernet interface and this fact has limited the use of GigE Vision technology in many applications. The ace camera series breaks this barrier and makes GigE technology suitable for space-critical applications. Because ace cameras have a mechanical mounting and optical concept identical to most analogue, USB, and IEEE 1394 cameras, the integration effort required for an ace camera is low.
Extended Set of Features:
Even though the size of the ace camera series is very small, there is no compromise on features. The ace series offers all of the basic features required on a digital camera series and much more. The high-performance FPGA used in these cameras is packed with exciting features, such as several automatic parameter adjustment functions, and includes helpful new features like an optimized software trigger function for high-speed triggering via the GigE bus. In addition, the camera has a Power over Ethernet option available, which makes connecting GigE cameras less complex and even cheaper by eliminating the need for a second cable.
“The one cable solution is a technical breakthrough for GigE based cameras,” explains Henning Tiarks, Team Leader Product Management. “Basler ace cameras can be connected using a single standard, low-cost Gigabit Ethernet cable that provides both data and power. This is a great improvement for our customers and will lower their integration and maintenance effort.”
Easy Software Integration:
The integration on the software side is also extremely simple. Basler provides the pylon software package, a free-of-charge SDK and Viewer Tool, with plenty of sample programs to help users get started quickly with their ace camera. The pylon software package runs on Windows and Linux and can be used with all common development environments..

| MULTIPIX EVENTS: OUR LATEST PRODUCT LAUNCH......... |
DID YOU SEE US AT MACH?
If you didn't make it to the MACH exhibition this year you would have missed our 3D robot demonstration. Combining a DENSO robot, Basler Scout Megapixel camera and MVTec's HALCON 9.0 imaging software our robot successfully picked and placed car parts all week. Demonstrating the reliability and robust nature of HALCON 9.0 and it's powerful 3D vision tools.
3D vision is opening doors to applications that simply would not have been possible before. Later this year MVTec will enhance 3D features even further with the launch of HALCON 10 but for now if you are looking to learn more about the exciting possibilities of 3D vision and how it can benefit your application do not hesitate to contact our sales team.
