New
VA3X Vision Appliances Provide Additional Performance and Image
Resolution for Single or Dual Camera Applications
BILLERICA,
MA (May 16, 2007) – DALSA today announced the release of the
IPD VA3X, the latest products in the company's line of machine Vision
Appliances. Housed in compact, DIN mountable enclosures, the VA3X
products provide quick user setup, factory friendly wiring and support
for one or two cameras with choice of sensor resolution.
"The
VA3X offers over twice the performance of our popular VA2X products,"
says Steve Geraghty, Director of DALSA IPD. "We've upgraded
the processor and system resources to support applications that
demand higher throughput or greater image resolution. The VA3X is
footprint, software and electrically compatible with the VA2X, providing
familiar compact solutions that are quick to configure and easy
to interface."
Available
in two versions, the VA3X offers users choice and flexibility to
satisfy their near and long-term application needs. The VA30 comes
complete with our popular easy-to-use iNspect software, while the
sister VA31 version additionally includes Sherlock, the ultimate
machine vision software for industry. This unrivaled combination
delivers the user interface, performance and flexibility needs to
satisfy the diverse requirements of end users and machine vision
integrators alike.
As
with the VA2X products, the VA3X incorporates the "smarts"
inside the camera controller, as opposed to the camera head. This
allows users to position it alongside other automation controllers
for easy interfacing and have the benefit of small camera heads
for easy mounting. The dual camera capability of the product also
provides significant cost savings in multi-camera applications.
The
VA30 comes with software preinstalled on the device, thus eliminating
version control problems. The iNspect application interface is exposed
through a standard web browser on a connecting network computer,
thus providing "connect and go" capability. The device
is equipped with a Gigabit compliant network connection that allows
a real-time image feed to the web browser. Alternatively, for users
who prefer in-place setup, the VA31 offers the ability to connect
keyboard, mouse and monitor directly to the unit.
Fully
equipped with industrial grade I/O and external connections conveniently
located on the front of the unit, the VA3X makes electrical interfacing
a snap. The devices include status lights for every input and output
connection to help application debugging. On the sensor side, the
VA3X provides users with the resolution choice they need to satisfy
a wide range of inspection tasks, from presence and absence to high-precision
measurements. Standard supported sensor resolutions are 640x480
and 1024x768; however, higher resolutions to 1600x1200 are possible.
The
VA3X provides machine vision integrators and end users with a solution
built to their specification. It offers the ease-of-use, performance
and flexibility to satisfy a wide range of current and future application
needs.
