Scalable GEVA-300 multi-camera vision system offers cost conscious versatility
1 min read
The GEVA-300, a scalable low cost multi-camera vision system, which supports up to 6 GigE Vision cameras, is available from Stemmer Imaging. The system is suitable for a variety of applications including final inspection of large assemblies.
GEVA-300 is the latest in the Teledyne Dalsa Vision Appliance range. The six high bandwidth Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) ports provided are compatible with a wide range of GigE cameras, which can be mixed to suit application need. Camera expansion is easily accommodated using commercially available network technologies, allowing large configurations to be realised economically.
The unit's compact, rugged, fanless design tolerates harsh factory conditions and varying temperatures. An optional PL-USB companion module offers I/O expansion and easy integration of up to four additional Teledyne Dalsa Genie cameras.
In addition to the six Gigabit Ethernet ports (four of which are typically used for connecting cameras), a dedicated display and USB ports for set-up and run-time control, and a serial port for factory communication are provided. Camera triggering, strobe outputs and opto-isolated I/O can be interfaced using the companion PL-USB module.
The GEVA-300 features Intel dual-core Atom architecture for low power consumption and performance in a wide range of machine vision applications.
Vision solutions are set-up using iNspect or Sherlock application software. The iNspect software requires little or no prior vision experience, while the Sherlock software offers greater flexibility to tackle more challenging inspection tasks. Both software packages offer a wide selection of tools and capabilities for applications requiring positioning, identification, verification, measurement, and flaw detection.
