Frame Grabbers and Image Capture Cards for Machine Vision
Product/Service Name
Machine Vision Frame Grabbers and Image Capture cards from Dalsa-Coreco, Imagenation, Unibrain, iDS, IOIndustries, Imperx, and Arvoo.
Function/ApplicationsAdept Electronic solutions is the major source of frame grabbers and image capture cards for machine vision and imaging applications in Australia and New Zealand. AES supplies frame grabbers built for a range of PCI busses including PCI-32, PCI-64, PCI-X and PCI-Express. Further to this AES also supplies embedded system grabbers for the PC104/Plus, Compact PCI and PMC busses.
Operating system drivers for the AES range of frame grabbers and image capture cards include drivers for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Linux, QNX, RTOS and others.
The full range Adept Electronic Solutions frame grabbers will support all camera interfaces including analog composite video, S-Video (Y/C), RGB analog video, CameraLink digital, LVDS digital, RS422 digital and Firewire (IEEE1394) digital.
As camera resolutions and camera frame rates increase more and more pressure is put on the bandwidth of the interface connecting the camera to the frame grabber and the bus over which the image data is transferred to the computer’s host memory. CameraLink was developed in order to overcome the bandwidth restrictions of other camera to grabber interfaces. CameraLink Is the fastest camera to grabber interface available.
The bus transfer rate continues to improve as PCI bus architecture develops; the latest being PCI-Express. However the frame grabber’s ability to transfer optimally across the bus is a function of the grabber’s performance. Coreco outperforms other grabber manufacturers in this regard with their optimized hardware, onboard frame-buffer memory, dual-ported architectures, Trigger to Image Reliability functionality as well as their highly optimized software drivers.
Selection of the correct components, software and operating system is critical in the success of your machine vision system. Adept Electronic Solutions has extensive knowledge of frame grabber implementation, software and machine vision technology in general. AES offers this expertise to all of its customers as a value-add to their purchase of vision components.
