Vision 2010: JAI expands its range of industrial multi-CCD and multi-CMOS industrial cameras.

The main new attractions displayed at Vision 2010:

LQ-200CL (4CCD color line scan camera)
JAI's LQ-200CL is a new prism-based 4-CCD digital color line scan camera providing simultaneous separate imaging of red, green, and blue, plus near-infrared light data.
The camera, which is one of the only industrial-grade 4-CCD line scan cameras on the market, features a beam splitter prism with hard dichroic coatings incorporating four precisely pixel-to-pixel aligned CCD sensors.

R, G, B and NIR light spectrum bands are captured simultaneously in four separate channels through the same optical path. By adding an NIR sensor, the new camera makes it possible to identify an even wider set of defects on inspected objects.

The camera’s prism-block technology enables users to avoid the complex alignment and encoding issues associated with tri-linear cameras, especially those related to off-axis viewing, variations in conveyor speeds, surface undulations, or objects that roll or move as they pass through the camera’s field of view.

LT-400CL (3CMOS color line scan camera)
The new LT-400CL is a prism-based 3CMOS digital color line scan camera using 3 x 4096 pixel line sensors. The sensors are mounted on a prism to provide separate simultaneous imaging for red, green and blue light spectrums with high accuracy.

The LT-400CL is equipped with special JAI developed CMOS sensors capable of capturing high resolution images (4096 pixels) providing an even better image resolution of the inspected items without compromising the line frequency speed at 16.180 lines/second (16.18Khz).

Combining high resolution images with high speed inspection will provide an overall improvement in inspection efficiency on conveyer belts.
JAI uses an extremely precise and cost-efficient manufacturing process to align the 3 prism-mounted sensors. The prisms are aligned with sub-pixel accuracy. This provides pixel-to-pixel (co-site sampling) accuracy (a level of precision that’s not possible with two separate cameras). This stable alignment is maintained throughout the camera’s lifetime.

The camera’s prism-block technology enables users to avoid the complex alignment and encoding issues associated with tri-linear cameras, especially those related to off-axis viewing, variations in conveyor speeds, surface undulations, or objects that roll or move as they pass through the camera’s field of view.

AT-200GE (3CCD area scan camera)
The AT-200GE is the latest addition in JAI’s industry-leading 3CCD color camera series. The new 3-by-2-megapixel cameras draw upon JAI’s expertise in prism-block technology to provide a larger sensor format and higher resolution than previously available 3CCD RGB models.
The CCDs are affixed to a newly-developed prism block that splits the incoming light into red, green, and blue color channels. JAI’s patented alignment process ensures the three sensors are aligned with pixel-to-pixel accuracy, providing pixel-precise color values suitable for machine vision analysis, measurement, and processing.
  
With their high resolution and high color fidelity, the AT-200GE is expected to expand on the popularity of previous JAI 3CCD models, which have been widely used in semiconductor production, food sorting, print inspection, flat panel quality verification, and in medical devices for patient diagnostics.

AM-800CL (1CCD – Quad-tap area scan camera)
The new and compact AM-800CL is a high-speed 8-megapixel camera with Camera Link interface. This top of the line camera incorporates a 4-tap CCD imager for the highest possible image quality and features state-of-the-art image tap balancing; superior thermal management; and outstanding S/N and linearity over the entire operating temperature range.

The camera output is 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit selectable, and features a number of trigger, exposure and gain modes besides blemish compensation, LUT, flat-field correction, color interpolation plus more exciting features.

The camera will also be available with a GigE Vision interface.

CM-030GE-RH (1CCD remote head camera – 120 frames/second)
The new CM-030GE-RH is a monochrome progressive scan camera with 0.3 million pixels and a standard GigE Vision / GenICam-compliant digital interface. The CCD sensor is positioned in a remote head with connected by a 2-meter long cable.

The small size of the camera head (φ17mm) and the 2-meter length of its remote head cable make this camera suitable for space- or weight-critical machine vision applications, such as robotics, surface mounting (PCB pick and place), semiconductor inspection, surface inspection, and more.

The camera outputs 120 full frames/second in continuous (free-run) mode. Higher frame rates (up to 504 frames/second) can be achieved by using the partial scan modes or vertical binning mode.

The new CM-030GE- remote head camera runs at 120 frames/second. See it live at Vision 2010

RM-67X-Series (RM-670, RM-673NIR and RM-675NIR)
The RM-67X-series is a new line of monochrome interlaced video cameras designed to provide high image quality, sophisticated auto exposure capabilities, and low-light sensitivity for applications utilizing traditional CCIR standard video interfaces. The three new camera models – the RM-670, RM-673NIR, and RM-675NIR – are aimed primarily at high-end surveillance, situational awareness, and homeland security applications, but can be used for a variety of industrial applications, as well.

Operating at the standard 752 x 582 CCIR resolution (25 fps), the new cameras provide improved image quality versus older interlaced models (signal-to-noise ratio >53 dB) and reduced EMI emissions measured at 12 dB below the maximum limit for Class A products.

The RM-675NIR belongs to the new RM-67X-series. See it live at Vision 2010

New JAI SDK and Control Tool v1.3.0
JAI has released version 1.3.0 of its popular and powerful GigE Vision SDK & Control Tool software. The new version has been updated and improved in a considerable number of areas, aimed at maintaining its status as one of the most robust and versatile vendor-independent GigE Vision software packages offered by any camera manufacturer.

The new software supports the GigE Vision 1.1 and GenICam 1.2 standards, including the GenICam Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC), which allows any SFNC-compliant camera, regardless of interface type, to be accessed and controlled using a common set of camera feature names. The JAI SDK & Control Tool software is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions and is compatible with Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Vision system designers can combine JAI cameras with the new 1.3.0 SDK or with any GigE Vision/GenICam-compliant third-party software package when integrating JAI cameras into vision applications.

As with previous versions of the JAI SDK, the software can also be used with non-JAI GigE cameras, making it ideal for multi-vendor evaluations, prototyping, and other activities. It can be downloaded from the JAI website. Go to the download section
