Compact Machine Vision Appliance

April 6, 2006
Latest product in a line of machine vision appliances, the VA20 provides quick user setup, factory friendly wiring, and support for one or two cameras with choice of sensor resolution. It comes with easy-to-use iNspect software, while its sister VA21 version additionally includes Sherlock, the ultimate machine vision software for industry. Unlike alternative smart camera devices, the VA20 incorporates the “smarts” inside the camera controller, rather than the camera head. This enables users to position it alongside other automation controllers for easy interfacing. Standard supported sensor resolutions are 640 x 480 and 1,024 x 768; higher resolutions to 1,600 x 1,200 are possible. ipd, Billerica, MA
