Spyder: Huge Performance, Small Body By DALSA Inc

Check out principle's homepage

If you’re looking for leading-edge line scan performance, but aren’t willing to compromise on size and ease of use, take a close look at our new Spyder camera. At 40MHz, with line rates over 70kHz, Spyder can tackle even the most challenging machine vision applications. Our compact modular architecture also squeezes in a rich feature set you’d only expect to find in more expensive line scan cameras. Antiblooming, exposure control, user defined data rate, gain, and binning are standard features. Spyder even offers a single voltage input option.

Designed for space-limited line scanning applications...
Weighing less than 300 grams, with a case size of just 50mm x 50mm x 88mm, Spyder is available in resolutions of 512, 1024, and 2048 pixels. And, despite its compact size, Spyder runs cool, even at high data rates.

TR-31 (1024 or 2048 pixels) - Trillium Color Linescan

DALSA's newest color line scan camera uses a beam-splitting prism, interference filters, and three separate image sensors to provide separate outputs from a common optical axis. High sensitivity, three channels (Red,Green, and Blue) of LVDS output @ 25MHz, and superior color registration are just the start of this camera's power. Advanced features such as programmable pixel-by-pixel color correction and balancing, self-calibration, and on-camera diagnostic display make the Trillium the new color performance leader. With Its optional matched lens, it provides the best color images in the industry.

Precision:

• Prism beamsplitter, interference filters and 3 sensors give 3 color outputs from common optical axis for superior color registration and transmission efficiency
• Pixel-by-pixel correction by integrated signal processing for FPN, PRNU, color balance, and variations in light source intensity and spectra
• Separate data channel for each color (red, green, blue)
• Optional matched lens for the ultimate image fidelity (single-pixel light-to-dark transitions, even at lens periphery and maximum line rate)

Programmability:

• Automatic self-calibration with programmable sensitivity and color balancing
• Simple ASCII protocol can control virtually all camera functions, including line rate and exposure period
• Non-volatile configuration memory for customizable power-up configuration
• Programmable pushbutton and configurable inputs to trigger almost any camera function without PC connection
• Camera can control motorized iris

Performance:

• 1024 or 2048 pixels, 14µm x 14µm
• 25MHz per output data rate, 8-bit output from 10-bit digitization
• Line rates to 21kHz (1k resolution) or 11kHz (2k resolution)
• EIA-644 (LVDS) data format
• Antiblooming and exposure control

Usability:

• On-camera diagnostic display
• Test pattern output for debugging
• Grabs reference lines through RS232 without the need for a framegrabber
• 12V Single input voltage option
• CE compliant

2M-30-SA  - Stop Action Camera

The DALSTAR 2M30-SA is the newest area scan camera for industrial inspection and metrology, traffic management, and robotics. The camera uses a two-megapixel interline transfer CCD in your choice of 1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 configurations--twice the resolution of "standard" 1k x 1k cameras. Both configurations output up to 30 frames per second (fps) at full resolution. The 2M30 offers "Stop Action" (SA) imaging, allowing smear-free capture of fast moving objects. Its 10-bit dynamic range allow it to thrive in demanding applications such as PCB inspection and traffic management. The camera's programmable features and diagnostics are accessible through the Camera Link™ MDR26 connector. The camera's small body and robustness make it perfect for the wear and tear of industrial environments

Features

• "Stop Action" (SA) imaging for smear-free images
• 2-Megapixel CCD (1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080) for "the big picture"
• 30fps--real time video
• 10-bit digitization
• Camera Link™ interface
• Robust and compact
• Color options available

Applications

PIRANHA2 - The world's fastest, most responsive line scan camera.

DALSA's Piranha cameras were the fastest line scan cameras in the world…until now. Piranha2 takes performance to an even higher level. 160MHz data rate. More speed. Less light. Piranha2 is the new speed and responsivity leader. 40MHz per output, 2 or 4 outputs Incredible responsivity—even at 160MHz throughput, Piranha2 requires less light than the original piranha 8 or 10 bit digital output (user selectable) 1k, 2k, 4k, 6k & 8k models available Easy to use. Easy to integrate. Camera Link™ interface for easy cabling and camera control Fully programmable gains and offsets for each output Generates test pattern for cable/system troubleshooting Single power supply (12-15V) Easy, standard lensing options (C-mount, F-mount, M72x0.75) Real-Time Flat-Field Correction Flat-field pixel correction removes image distortion due to uneven illumination, optical vignetting, sensor FPN and PRNU, and other imaging system sources Establishes individual gains and offsets for each pixel Camera body designed for "real world" applications. Smaller and thinner for easier mounting and minimized optical path 50mm x 85mm x 50mm or 85mm x 85mm x 50mm Provides side-by-side stackability for multicamera applications such as web inspection

CA-D6 - Ultra High Speed Progressive Scan Camera

DALSA re-defines high speed, mid resolution progressive scan with the introduction of the MotionVision(r) line of area cameras. The DALSA CA-D6 offers 0256 and 0512 resolutions with four 8-bit outputs at 25MHz. This allows frame rates up to 955 fps for the 0256 model and up to 262 fps for the 0512 model. Applications include electronic inspection and motion analysis - any application that requires the highest frame rates and image quality.
