New Industrial Vision Appliance delivers more in IPD VA 3X

New Dual Camera Industrial Vision Appliance - iPD VA30/31(VA3X) offers more speed and more performance

Dalsa iPD have added another Vision Appliance to their expanding series of cost-effective easy-to-use vision systems. The new Dalsa iPD VA3X industrial vision appliance provides end users and systems integrators with a practical machine vision solution for single or dual camera applications. This DIN mountable system has been specifically designed to minimize integration and speed deployment by providing easily accessible control and intuitive machine vision software setup.

The VA3X fits into the existing range of Dalsa iPD Vision Appliances with twice the processing power of the VA2X as well as extended onboard and flash memory capabilities. Its graphical display and memory throughputs are over three times faster in comparison to the VA2X devices. The VA3X vision appliance will accept and connect to a wide selection of industrial vision cameras to a maximum resolution of up to 1375x1135 pixels. Other improvements include boot-up time and file level protection for O/S.

The VA3X is a dual camera industrial vision appliance. Unlike its traditional competitive smart camera counterparts, the VA3X vision appliance incorporates the "smarts" inside the camera controller, as opposed to the camera head. This has the dual benefit of easier integration; since it can be positioned in a chassis alongside other automation controllers, and smaller camera size; thus making it suitable for tight-fit industrial vision applications. In addition, the built-in dual camera capability provides a cost-effective solution in multi-industrial vision camera applications. With the smarts external to the camwera body Dalsa iPD have been able to pack far more power into their vision appliances than is possible with competitive smart cameras.

Interfacing the VA3X is a snap. The vision appliance is fully equipped with industrial grade opto-isolated inputs and outputs that are wired using removable screw terminal connectors. A visible LED light is coupled to each connection that reflects the active state of the signal. The I/O together with all external interfaces, is conveniently accessible on the front of the vision appliance facing the user. Machine vision application setup software is preinstalled and ready to run, thus eliminating installation and revision control problems.

Both variants; the VA30 and VA31 can either be remotely set up via an Ethernet network connection or be setup locally by connecting a mouse, keyboard and monitor directly to the VA3X.

Key Fe a t u r e s:

* Compact DIN mountable system
* Easy to setup
* Single or dual camera inspections
* Suitable for tight-fit camera applications
* No software to install
* Powerful embedded processor ensures fast inspection times
* Online or offline inspection
* Quick connect/disconnect wiring
* Easily integrates into factory environments
* Universal solution for end-users, integrators and machine builders

The VA3X offers two distinct machine vision software interfaces, called iNspect and Sherlock. iNspect provides industrial vision application versatility and ease-of-use, allowing you to setup and deploy a machine vision solution in a matter of minutes. For more complex tasks Sherlock provides even greater flexibility and control, giving you the tools and capabilities at your fingertips to apply to almost any industrial vision application.

Less integration, quick software setup, multiple cameras... with the VA3X vision appliance, integrating machine vision just got a whole lot easier!
