CMOS vision sensors handle 1,000 frames/sec
The latest industrial camera generation USB 3 uEye CP from IDS is now available with the CMOS sensors PYTHON 500, PYTHON 2000 and PYTHON 5000 from ON Semiconductor. In addition to the fully-established PYTHON 1300, IDS Imaging Development Systems offers three more members of the sensor series. The sensors are designed to provide high-speed, reaching […]
Tiny spectral sensor handles 380-700 nm wavelength range
Ocean Optics has expanded its Spark spectral sensor range with the addition of the Spark-DET-VIS. The most versatile of the Spark line of spectral sensors, the tiny sensor-only version weighs less than 1g, making it the smallest spectral device on the market. While optical technology advances have shrunk instrument size, the Spark-DET-VIS still delivers full […]
Baumer optical sensors are simple and flexible to implement
Through the integration of the communication interface IO-Link for the sensor principles diffuse mode sensor with background suppression and SmartReflect (the light barrier without a reflector), the optical O300 and O500 NextGen sensors have improved their already outstanding efficiency. The IO-Link interface facilitates the rapid startup of systems through the automated transmission of various parameters […]
Liquid lenses from Edmund Optics for seamless focus adjustment
Edmund Optics introduces its new Dynamic Focus VZM Lenses. These lenses use an internal liquid lens to seamlessly adjust focus over a 7X range, from 0.65X to 4.6X. At the same time, the lens maintains the zoom capabilities of the standard VZM Zoom Imaging Lenses. Dynamic Focus VZM Lenses are ideal for a broad range […]
Focusing lenses for manual laser welding systems
Manual laser welding systems are also being used worldwide in times of automation due to their fast readiness for action and their easy handling. For this purpose, Sill Optics offers special focusing lenses, which are corrected both for the laser wavelength and the visible range. This is true for the imaging performance and also for […]
Precision laser sensor with graphic display by Tri-Tronics
Tri-Tronics has introduced a unique Laser Sensor with an OLED graphic display that provides visible feedback of proper setup and continual monitoring of performance. The SMARTEYE SmartDot Laser Sensor was designed to detect the most difficult small parts at longer ranges than conventional photoelectric sensors, making it very easy to perform micro-part detection and inspection. Features […]
Lenses for DMD projection by Sill Optics
The use of DMDs (Digital Mirror Devices) in modern industry is becoming more and more important. Applications like direct exposure systems, 3D-measuring devices or even 3D-printers use DMDs for pattern generation. To image this pattern onto a target requires special lenses, which take into account the fact that DMDs need illumination from the top with […]
Precise measurements even in extreme temperatures with ZEISS DuraMAX HTG
The ZEISS DuraMax HTG coordinate measuring machine, an enhancement to the standard model, is now even more insensitive to mechanical vibrations and temperature fluctuations. These properties make it ideal for use in a production environment – now at temperatures from 15-40° C. “Even in moderate climates, it is not uncommon for the temperatures in production […]
