Vision & Imaging
Machine Vision Sensor
largely maintenance-free
The SRV is a vision sensor for industrial
image processing, which
is able to complete image processing
tasks without any further
peripheral equipment. It performs
assembly and feature
checks, recognizes damages on
edges, detects the position of
fastenings and labels, sorts and
removes defective components.
In pick & place applications, it
makes sure that parts in all kinds
of rotary positions are safely gripped. The compact
housing of the sensor accommodates LEDs and an evaluation
unit with all the necessary software and interfaces.
It offers a high resolution of 720x480 pixels (W
VGA) and a frame rate of 60fps. There is a choice of three
operating distances (150, 300 or 450mm), each with different
frame sizes (76x48, 117x72 or 129x81mm). Integrated
industrial I/O interfaces (3 in, 3 out), one analogue
output and a USB 2.0 connection to the graphical user
interface are available. The position results can be
transmitted via a serial interface.

Industrial Flat Panel Monitors
for hazardous location
The M-Series of industrial
flat panel monitors
is offered in three
sizes, 15" (M1500),
17" (M1700), and 19"
(M1900). Their compact
profile results in
a panel mounted
depth of less than
70mm, making them suitable for installation in harsh
environments for factory automation and demanding
commercial applications. The monitors support XGA format.
They all provide Analogue Video (VGA) connections
and allow either connection via USB or RS-232 for the
optional 5-wire analogue resistive touchscreen. The
M1700 and M1900 additionally have Digital Video Inputs
(DVI). All versions are standard with 100-240 VAC
input power supplies and have IP65 NEMA 4/4x/12 panel
mountable front panels. Stainless Steel front panels
and 24V DC input power are available options for all three.
The entire series is UL/cUL listed, complies with European
CE and RoHS requirements, and are UL approved for Class
I and II, Division 2 hazardous locations.

Thermal Imager
for industrial maintenance
The easy-to-use Fluke
Ti35 is fully radiometric
and features a 180°
articulating lens for
viewing and capturing
images in areas
with poor accessibility.
The thermal imager
offers high thermal
sensitivity to 0.1°C
using a 160x120pixel detector for viewing even the
smallest temperature differences across a wide -20 to
350°C range. A large 12.5cm high-contrast colour LCD
provides clear pictures, irrespective of lighting conditions.
This makes it suitable for the capture of high quality images
in a broad range of industrial applications, including
predictive maintenance, process monitoring, repair
checks and quality control. The device sports the
SmartFocus feature, for single finger capture of the best
quality images and accurate temperature measurements.
The Fluke Ti35 comes as a complete kit which includes
a compact flash card for storing over 1,000 images,
a hard carry case and PC software.

Ethernet Camera
for mobile applications
The O2M100 Ethernet camera
meets the requirements of
mobile control systems caused
by extreme environmental influences.
It has fully sealed
die-cast zinc housing with the
protection rating IP67. The
two integrated M12 connectors
provide important connections
for supply and communication.
When mounting, the unit with the dimensions
80x42x53.5mm (HxWxD) can be fixed directly to the mobile
machine via an adapter system. With temperature-controlled
window heating, the camera objective
can be defrosted in case of extreme conditions. The digital
capturing and transmission of the image data enable
scaling and free positioning of the camera image.
The image data are on the one hand stored in a UDP/IP
protocol and on the other hand stored as 8-bit Windows
bitmap. The device is fitted with an Ethernet interface
for communication. In contrast to analogue camera
systems, the camera image can be shown on any number
of displays via a simple Ethernet hub or switch.

Shadowgraph Camera
with in-built velocity trap
Modern image sensors
have allowed the design of
cameras that will capture
up to 11-million pixel
images with the ability to
shutter faster than 1µs. Integrating
this camera with
an ultra-fast high intensity
spark source has resulted
in a Shadowgraph camera
capable of image quality previously achievable
only with film cameras, yet offering instantaneous
access to data. Control software provides simple adjustment
of imaging parameters and extensive measurement
tools to accurately analyse results. Camera stations can
be arranged in the classic configuration looking
directly at a reflective screen or as orthogonal pairs to
provide valuable 3D data such as the pitch and yaw of
supersonic airflows. A comprehensive triggering functionality
has been implemented in the SIS camera
system enabling it to be interfaced with almost any triggering
device. Applications include aeronautical
engineering and testing of glass.
