Vision Appliances are embedded machine vision solutions that have been designed to satisfy your current and future inspection needs. They provide the ease-of-use, performance and flexibility required to meet the diverse requirements of industrial applications, while accommodating the needs and experience of end users.

Our newest Vision Appliance, the IPD VA61, offers users an expandable, cost-effective solution designed specifically for multi-camera applications. The unit supports a full range of image resolutions, both mono and color, together with synchronous or asynchronous triggering options. The physical camera interface is provided through dedicated Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be easily expanded using external switches to support up to 4 or 8 camera configurations. The VA61 supports DALSA Genie area scan cameras and Spyder 3 line scan cameras.

In addition to lower system costs, the use of GigE technology offers more flexibility in optimizing the system configuration. For example, the VA61 controller can be positioned alongside complementary equipment for ease of integration, while the cameras can be located up to 100 meters away. This provides better isolation and protection of costly components in harsh industrial environments.

For remote or expandable VA61 applications, DALSA offers an optional interface module, called the DCI-100, that provides a local electrical interface between DALSA Genie cameras, industrial power, triggers and I/O. The DCI-100 module can interface up to 2 Genie cameras.

The VA61, like all Vision Appliances, provides a powerful and quick-to-deploy solution for automated quality inspection. Available with standard (iNspect) or advanced (Sherlock) application software, this product has been carefully designed to address the needs of a wide range of industries such as Automotive, Consumer, Electronics, Packaging, Pharamceutical and more.

The standard iNspect software provides capabilities for positioning, identification, verification, measuring and flaw detection. Included with iNspect is iLabel, an application designed specifically for the packaging industry that is used for verifying the placement and quality of labels on packaged goods.

Vision Appliances are an ideal product solution for both end-users and integrators of machine vision.
