New Cognex cameras feature high speed performance
Cognex Corporation has introduced PatMax RedLine, a feature-location technology that reinvents the PatMax pattern-matching tool by maximizing speed and performance. Available in the latest Cognex In-Sight Explorer software version 5.1, PatMax RedLine technology is optimized to run on these three new In-Sight vision systems: In-Sight 5705, the fastest stand-alone 5MP vision system, for reliable inspection on high-speed […]
Live animal testing with illumination using Mightex Oasis
The Mightex Optical Activation, Stimulation and Imaging System (OASIS) is designed specifically to meet the growing demand to conduct experiments on live animals, when system flexibility is a primary consideration and a large Field of View (FoV) is usually required. In Optogenetics, for example, in vivo patterned illumination on rodents, monkeys and other animals is […]
Laser distance sensor with clear object detection by Banner Engineering
Banner Engineering has improved its industry-recognized Q4X laser distance sensor with a new dual teach mode. Featuring new firmware, the Q4X dual teach mode sensor combines window thresholds on both target distance and target reflected intensity, allowing the Q4X to reliably solve difficult applications with ease. The Q4X can now detect clear objects without requiring […]
AutomationDirect adds Harsh-Duty Photoelectric sensors
AutomationDirect’s new FM series harsh duty photoelectric sensors are IP69K-rated sensors in three-wire NPN or PNP styles and are available in 27 washdown models. Ideal for food and beverage applications, the 10-30 VDC rectangular sensors are fitted with 316L stainless steel housings and are available in diffuse, diffuse with background suppression and polarized retroreflective styles […]
Thermal Imaging Sensor for the IoT
Using its internet of things (IoT) thermal imaging sensor, Optimet has developed a thermal Wi-Fi camera that the company says is 35% less than the lowest cost comparable thermal image sensor. The thermal imaging is also used in a computer vision-enabled thermal imaging device, called the HemaVision that the company expects to offer at a […]
Miniature Photoelectric Sensors Offer Greater Sensing Ranges
With its second generation line of 6K miniature sensors, Balluff offers up to 18m range (with through-beam mode). In addition, the 6K sensors offer reverse polarity protection and short circuit protection. Either red light or class 1 laser technology is used depending on the product and all versions of the BOD 6K and BOS 6K […]
2.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor delivers hi-res for security cameras
ON Semiconductor has introduced its latest high performance CMOS image sensor targeted for use in advanced video security cameras. The AR0230CS image sensor is a 1/2.7 inch optical format device with 105 decibel (dB) dynamic range that combines industry leading low-light capabilities with superior near-infrared (NIR) performance. For security camera makers looking to upgrade”o, from […]
Smart sensors are gaining ground – but much depends on the interface
By Dr. Peter Adolphs, Managing Director With new sensor elements and the increasing performance of microcontrollers, more efficient sensors can now be produced at a reasonable cost. This means that sensing techniques previously used only in measuring systems are now becoming useful in standard applications. However, the user has to address the question of how […]
