DALSA VA61 Vision Appliance Supports 100m camera cables

IPD VA61 Vision Appliance supports 100m camera cable lengths

DALSA Corporation, a global leader in machine vision technology, continues its integration of its machine vision technologies with the introduction of the company's first Gigabit Ethernet (GigE)-ready Vision Appliance, the IPD VA61. DALSA's Vision Appliances are easy-to-use, embedded machine vision solutions that are both powerful and quick-to-deploy for automated quality inspection applications. Complete with two expandable GigE camera ports, industrial I/O and a high performance processor, the VA61 is well suited to tackle a range of applications involving multiple monochrome or color GigE cameras.

"The natural convergence of our technologies offers best-in-class solutions for all types of customers, including OEMs, Vision Integrators and End Users," says Steve Geraghty, Director of DALSA's Industrial Products. "Whether used as a programmable vision engine or a tightly integrated vision solution, the VA61 provides an overall level of performance and flexibility that is unmatched in the market."

The VA61 Vision Appliance supports the full range of DALSA's compact Genie cameras, from 640x480 to 1600x1200 resolution, with either monochrome or color output. The flexible GigE camera ports allow mixing of camera resolutions and easy expansion to support cost-effective, multi-camera applications. Such systems, for example, are often deployed in automotive plants to perform multiple point inspections on assembled product.

Also supported are DALSA's highly responsive Spyder 3 line scan cameras that feature a new innovative "dual line scan" technology for improved noise immunity. GigE technology allows these cameras to be positioned away from the controller box at distances of up to 100 meters. This has the benefit of easier installation and better protection of costly control components in harsh environments.

The VA61 Vision Appliance can power and drive cameras locally, via dedicated camera I/O connections, or interface with them remotely using Ethernet only. For remote applications, DALSA offers an industrial camera interface module that decouples the cameras from potentially harmful industrial environments. The Digital Camera Interface module, called the DCI-100, regulates camera power and conditions the I/O for trigger and light interfacing. The module also provides additional I/O control that is accessible through any standard RS-232 port.

In keeping with DALSA's Vision Appliance philosophy, the VA61 Vision Appliance is available with choice of software options to address the application needs of all machine vision users. These include iNspect, the easy-to-use inspection tool designed specifically for end users, and Sherlock, the advanced and highly flexible inspection tool designed for vision integrators and OEMs. Both software packages offer a wide selection of tools and capabilities for applications requiring positioning, identification, verification, measurement and flaw detection. For machine builders with unique needs, the VA61 Vision Appliance is available complete with camera drivers for integration with third party software.
