ALRAD IMAGING ( Stand C22) AND ALRAD PHOTONICS ( Stand C21) will be exhibiting at Photonex exhibition at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on 11th and 12th October 2017. Come and visit us and see the latest new products and discuss your application with our technical staff .
ALRAD PHOTONICS
COHERENT StingRay lasers enable the construction of faster and more accurate machine vision systems that use 3D Triangulation.
The Coherent StingRay series mates a diode laser with high performance electronics and precision refractive optics for pattern generation covering the widest range of applications.
The REYNARD CORPORATION’s Circular Variable Neutral Density filters are presented in the form of a filter wheel to
linearly attenuate light as the filter is rotated. The CVND filter can be used for white light as well as for lasers. A large finite aperture can be attenuated by counter rotating two filters in
series. Sizes are available from 25 mm to over 200 mm in
diameter. CVND filters are available for IR, UV and Visible light.
BACH RESEARCH CORP is a manufacturer of custom optical components with a particular focus on highly specified diffraction gratings for Aerospace,
Astronomy and Space flight Instrumentation, in addition to
cost-conscious components for OEM equipment manufacturers.
Plane and Curved grating options supplied in either Original or Replica formats (including large bespoke Echelle rulings).
Gratings are offered to service both Spectroscopic and High Power Laser applications.
ALRAD IMAGING
NIT WDR InGaAs IR Cameras
Typical applications for NIT WDR InGaAs IR cameras are laser beam measurements, high temperature thermography, biomedical imaging, waste sorting, security / coastal surveillance, etc…
Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) products from NIT are based on a proprietary Wide Dynamic Range ROIC technologies and offer a Dynamic Range (DR) of more than 140 dB in a single image without any external control.
The internal Fixed Pattern Noise correction gives high uniformity pictures in all light conditions with no need of a Look-up table.
The NIT WDR InGaAs sensors use InGaAs photodiodes array operating from 900nm to 1700nm, with a high QE and coupled to a patented Read Out Circuit (ROIC).
The camera modules within the WiDy SWIR family offer two resolutions: QVGA (230×256) and VGA (640×512), with a choice of interfaces: USB2, USB3, CameraLink, GigE and analogue (via a composite connection). The digital interface versions are delivered with control and capture Software and an SDK, operating under Windows. A Peltier cooled variant of the VGA camera with improved S/N characteristics is available with either a USB3 or CameraLink interface.
MATRIX VISION
USB3 Vision camera with Sony Pregius CMOS sensors – mvBlueFOX3-2
- Compact industrial cameras with USB3 Vision interface
- High quality GS-CMOS Pregius sensors
- A choice of resolutions: 2.4MP, 3.2MP, 5.1MP, 8.9MP and 12.4MP
- Global shutter and high dynamic range
- Grey scale and colour versions
- Hardware preprocessing on-board (FPGA)
- Image memory buffer 256 MBytes
- Excellent cost-benefit ratio
The mvBlueFOX3-2 is the new highly capable USB3 Vision family for the new sensor generations. MATRIX VISION’s smallest camera offers higher resolutions and frame rates as well as camera based smart features, which reduce the load of the host system.
LED LIGHTING
Choosing the right LED illumination for your Machine Vision application is important.
Developers of machine vision systems must carefully consider their choice of which type of lighting must be used. If incorrectly chosen, the lighting source may result in captured images that lack contrast and cannot be processed easily by machine vision software.
Because individual parts vary greatly in their spectral properties, features, and shape, it is critical to understand how the wavelength of radiation that is used to radiate the object will be reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the object being imaged. This will depend on the wavelength of light that is used to illuminate the object, the geometric distribution of the incident light source and thus the configuration of the light source.
Alrad offers a wealth of LED lighting products emitting light from UV through to IR from a number of leading machine vision lighting specialists so talk to one of our technical sales staff to see the lighting options available for your specific application.
EVT Eye Vision Technology
EVT EyeVision provides Machine Vision solutions
The demands on machine vision for quality control and industrial engineering are increasing constantly. Also, due to the fast developing technical capabilities, the fields of applications are growing too.
EVT has developed machine vision products, which not only allow precise and error-free image processing, but also products, which are one step ahead of the market.
The machine vision software EyeVision by EVT is such a product, which due to easy-handling is able to adapt to various applications. The software runs on:-
- Smart cameras (e.g. EyeCheck, EyeSpector)
- Vision sensors (e.g. EyeSens)
- Embedded and PC based systems (with the interfaces: USB, GigE, Firewire, Camera Link, CoaXPress, etc.
