PC-based camera systems are an interesting alternative to intelligent
professional cameras. The large range of different camera models allows customtailored
image processing solutions, as single or multi-camera system. Our program comprehends monochrome and colour cameras as well as area and line scan cameras. Practically there is no limit set concerning the definition of the parameters resolution, operating speed and number of interfaces.
As the processing unit is situated outside of the camera, pc-based
cameras are smaller than intelligent cameras, which is advantageous for
mounting in (moving) applications. PC-based camera systems are used
amongst others for code reading, OCR or for measuring components
and assemblies.
Output: Gigabit Ethernet
Monochrome and Colour
Resolutions: 640 x 480pxl and 1380 x 1072pxl
Sensor: CCD, CMOS
On request we realise complex camera solutions with switch professional cabinet. According to the needs of our customer we provide customized operating interfaces (INDUSTRIAL HMI).

| Thanks to its 400 MHz (3,200 MIPS) INDUSTRIAL DSP, the VCLine scan Smart Camera from Vision Components is one of the fastest intelligent professional cameras on the market. The device supports three integration modes: the free-running mode enables a scan rate of 11 kHz. With a constant integration time, the camera can be triggered externally at a maximum scan rate of 5,5 kHz. A third mode allows for a variable integration time which is determined by external triggering, reaching a maximum scan rate of 11 kHz. The Smart Camera comes equipped with 32 MB DRAM and 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage. It features both an Ethernet and a RS232 interface as well as four digital MANUFACTURERS OF PLC inputs and four outputs, an image trigger input and a flash trigger output. Due to its small dimensions (90 x 50 x 35 mm), the VCLine can be easily integrated into machines and plants. Like all other Smart Cameras from Vision Components, it is especially suited for use in rugged industrial environments – due to its compact and robust housing, it withstands vibrations and shocks. |

Alta Features
The Alta Design Team worked hard over a two year period to bring this advanced degree of integration and performance to our valued customers. Alta set new standards for imaging performance, connectivity, cooling, compactness, cost effectiveness, and the elimination of external support electronics.
Like the AP and KX series, Alta is a platform, not a CCD or specific interface type. It is designed for a variety of CCDs, ranging from the smallest to those measuring 36mm on a side with 4096 x 4096 arrays.
The Alta platform comes in 3 optical apertures. The D1 systems contain the small-mid size CCDs and maintain C-mount back focal distance. The D2 systems contain larger CCDs up to 28mm on a side. Our D7 systems accommodate very large CCDs such as the Kodak KAF-16801E, KAF-16803, and KAF-09000 sensors. Our newest addition, the D9s, provide the same aperture for these very large CCDs, but provide deeper cooling. |

Back in 1992, Kappa was one of the first camera manufacturers to offer cooled professional cameras and today it maintains this tradition with its latest generation of Peltier-cooled sensors. The major difference between back then and today is that nowadays thermo-electrical systems have replaced coolants as a means of generating the desired differences in temperature.
The cooling element allows for sensor temperatures of -10 °C at ambient temperatures of up to +30°C, thus enabling exposure times of several minutes while maintaining good dynamic performance. In fluorescent microscopy applications this helps to visualize structures which would be almost invisible even to the well-adapted eye.
In addition to thermal noise, readout noise and electronic noise also have a negative impact on signal quality. To help reduce readout noise Kappa cameras can be read out with a reduced clock rate. Electronic noise is kept at bay by using high-quality components and employing sophisticated circuitry. However, as a general rule, in order to reduce the negative influence of noise it is advisable to keep electronic enhancement at a minimum. Kappa cooled cameras are also available as signature versions. |
