JAI remote-head camera now has a GigE Vision interface
JAI AS of Copenhagen, Denmark, a manufacturer of industrial-grade cameras for the machine-vision, transportation, military, aerospace, homeland security, medical and scientific markets, has introduced a new version of its 0.3 megapixel industrial CCD remote-head camera, equipped with a standard, GigE Vision/GenICam compliant digital interface.
The CM-030GE-RH is a new variation of the Power-over-Mini-Camera-Link (PMCL) system introduced earlier this year by JAI. The company says that this camera was launched in response to requests from customers who like the features and performance of the PMCL model, but wanted the networking flexibility and 'grabber-less' operation offered by the GigE Vision standard.
As the newest member of JAI's C3 Compact series, the CM-030GE-RH is based on the 1/3-inch Sony ICX424 monochrome progressive scan CCD, with a 0.3 million pixel resolution (656 x 494 active pixels). User selectable 8-bit or 10-bit monochrome digital output is provided via the GigE Vision interface.
The CM-030GE-RH is able to operate at 120 fps in continuous operation, compared with the slower rate of 90 fps for the CM-030GE, its non-remote-head counterpart. Higher frame rates can be achieved with the camera's vertical binning and partial scan modes (up to 504 fps).
Multiple trigger modes are available in addition to continuous operation, including edge pre-select, pulse width control, frame delay and reset continuous triggering. The camera also features a 'sequence trigger' mode that enables users to pre-define multi-trigger repeating sequences where gain, shutter and/or region of interest (ROI) is instantly changed as each new trigger in the sequence is received.
An electronic shutter offers 10 pre-set speeds or user-programmable settings from 1/120 to 1/30 000 seconds in increments of 16.24 µs. A built-in general purpose input-output module features a configurable look-up table, clock generator and pulse generators to enable users to program triggers, make gamma adjustments and program various other features of the camera.
The CM-030GE-RH is supported by Jai's own vendor-independent SDK and control tool software, and is compatible with any GigE Vision/GenICam compliant third-party software libraries and tools.
The small size of the camera head and the 2-m long remote head cable make this system suitable for space-critical or weight-critical machine-vision applications, such as robotics, surface-mounting components (PCB pick and place), semiconductor inspection and surface inspection.
