DALSA
Vision Appliances Upgrade
DALSA iPD has announced some exciting changes to their highly popular
Vision Appliance (VA) series. These changes will make VAs more powerful
and versatile. There is also a new Genie camera in production.
IPD Vision Appliances are available in a range of cost-effective models
to satisfy a broad variety of
user requirements. These include single 640 x 480 standard camera configurations
to high performance
multi-camera models with 1600 x 1200 color resolution. In addition, IPD
Vision
Appliances support DALSA line scan technology to address challenging large
format or cylindrical
unwrapping applications.
There will changes in the VA15 to increase its speed by 42%. The VA15
is the entry level vision solution suitable for a range of applications.
The change is scheduled to take effect immediately.
The
high performance VAs – VA4x, VA5x and VA6x are also going to be
upgraded. For these products DALSA have designed a new enclosure that
will replace the existing silver coloured box. The new ‘DALSA blue’
will be thermally more efficient and feature a new improved design. The
new packaging supports rigid internal assembly, improved air flow and
quieter operation. In addition, a special protected partition of the hard
drive will support an ‘image store’ function that can be activated
at boot time. Customers will be albe to backup their production image
to this partition for safe keeping. The new blue units will have the same
physical size as the current units and will start shipping early next
year. They will offer DIN rail mounting (note: different hole pattern
for the current design) that is supported along both axis of the unit
for optimal chassis placement.
On the camera front, DALSA’s 1600 x 1200 resolution GigE Genie
camera is now in production. Like all other models, this camera is available
in both monochrome (A-CAM-GM1600-1) and colour (A-CAM_GC1600-1) versions.
