Dalsa Expands GigE Vision Industrial Camera Line
Two new models join the Genie family of GigE Vision-compliant cameras from Dalsa for use in industrial imaging applications in the semiconductor and robotics industries. Both the Genie C1280 color camera and the Genie M1280 monochrome camera employ a 1/3-in. CCD sensor capable of operating at up to 24 fps with a resolution of 1.2 Mpixels.
According to Dalsa, the cameras integrate both camera and board image-acquisition technologies to act as a single machine-vision component in one small package. Each camera has an RJ45 ruggedized screw-mount cable connector, useful for robotic applications. Other features include a global electronic shutter with exposure control and onboard flat-field correction.
In addition, the Genie C1280 provides onboard color conversion to produce crisp, clear images. Like all Genie cameras, the C1280 and M1280 are certified compliant with the AIA (Automated Imaging Association) GigE Vision standard to directly link to a PC.
These cameras take full advantage of Gigabit Ethernet technology, transmitting data using standard CAT-5e and CAT-6 cables over distances of up to 100 m and allowing a greater distance between the camera and inspection system. The Genie C1280 and M1280 work with Dalsa's Sapera Essential software and Genie Framework package for simplified camera setup and configuration.
A Sapera Essential standard processing-tool run-time license is offered at no additional charge when combined with a Dalsa frame grabber. This run-time license provides access to over 400 image-processing functions, an area-based template-matching tool, blob analysis, and lens-correction tool. The Genie series includes camera models with resolutions from VGA to 2 Mpixels and frame rates of up to 300 fps. Ltd.
