VC-M40 / M50 Back to Vision Components Cameras Back to Smart Cameras

The VCM40 and the VCM50 belong to the smallest smart cameras of the world and this at a very attractive price.

The VCM40 has a colour CMOS sensor with CCD image quality, it has i.e. a linear response to light levels and an excellent signal to noise ratio It can be used as an area scan or line scan sensor, in both B&W or colour mode. It can acquire 12 frames per second full frame (640 x 480) and can acquire proportionally faster for partial scans. In fact, in line scan mode it can cope with up to 2000 scans per second. And you can programmatically change the acquisition on the fly, for example from partial scan in colour to full-screen B&W.

The VCM50 uses a CCD progressive scan Sensor with 640 x 480 Pixel instead of the CMOS sensor. It can acquire 25 fps (Full-frame). With the possible binning mode up to 100 fps are possible.

All Vision Components cameras are built for industrial applications. They are insensitive to shock and vibration, and have multiple I/O lines for direct control of external equipment. For more complex control tasks, they can easily be interfaced to a PLC.
