Boa Smart Camera Go to Dalsa Cameras Go to Smart Cameras

BOA is a highly integrated optical inspection tool for controlling quality and increasing productivity. It comprises all the elements of an industrial machine vision system in a tiny smart camera style package: available in both monochrome and colour versions.

Designed tough
Designed small and rugged for even extreme industrial environments, the Boa's ultra-small form factor (44 x 44 x 44mm) is ideal for space-limited applications. It's 360° mounting capabilities allow it to integrate easily into existing production lines, machinery or moving equipment.

Rated for IP67 deployment, BOA can be installed in harsh or washdown factory environments without the need for costly protective enclosures. An optional cover is available that screws over the C mount lens.

For applications that demand single cable solutions, BOA can be powered through the Ethernet cable. In this configuration, passive Power over Ethernet is supplied from a low cost breakout module inside the control panel.

The Boa comes packaged complete with application software eliminating the need to buy additional programmes.

Designed for ease-of-use
Embedded within BOA is iNspect application software. This easy to use, graphical point-and-click interface allows 1st-time and experienced users alike to rapidly prototype and deploy vision solutions. iNspect offers depth of tools and flexibility to satisfy a vast and diverse range of inspection requirements and supports standard communication protocols, such as Modbus and Ethernet/IP, for seamless connection to complementary control devices.

Designed for efficiency
Included with BOA is a fully functional software emulator that allows users to develop or debug applications offline. Runtime Images can be saved to the offline PC using BOA’s Ethernet interface. The emulator maximizes machine up time during application development and maintenance.

Applications
Both monochrome and colour cameras offer scalable vision solutions to satisfy a wide range of application needs from positioning robotic handlers to complete assembly verification and the colour model can be applied to a broad range of colour inspection applications:
• identification of parts or assembly features
• sorting, counting, and verification of colour hue.
• print inspection (quality/registration)
• pharmaceutical inspection (label verification)
• PCB assembly (part presence, verification and placement)
• positioning robotic handlers
