Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) will be exhibiting at The Vision Show 2014 on 15-17 April at Hynes Convention Center (booth 411) in Boston, Massachusetts (US). Camera models in all market segments will be showcased, from the entry-level Mako series, to the high-resolution Prosilica GT with optional EF-Mount, to the next-generation Goldeye short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera for advanced imaging applications.
The Goldeye SWIR camera is designed for advanced industrial and scientific infrared (IR) imaging applications such as semiconductor or solar cell inspection and laser profiling. It uses an indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) sensor with wavelength sensitivity between 900 nanometres (nm) and 1700nm. The on-board image correction and optimisation functions make quality images possible.
The rugged hardware is designed for the requirements of industrial machine vision. For example, the built-in sensor cooling works without a fan and the screwed interface port permits a secure connection. The fitting screw threads on all sides of the compact housing make integration into an image processing system relatively simple. Its 12-pin Hirose input/output (I/O) port opens many possibilities for triggers and synchronisation with other system components. The Goldeye SWIR features a Gigabit-Ethernet (GigE) Vision-compliant interface and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies cabling by powering the camera via the data cable.
Scott Smith, AVT’s director of Technical Services, will give an informative presentation about IR imaging on Wednesday, 16 April at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The presentation will cover an overview of IR concepts that influence: technology choices and application design; types of sensors and cameras used; and applications possible with IR imaging. This session will be part of The Vision Conference at The Vision Show and will provide basic and advanced training on vision.
