Dalsa Expands Spyder3 family to 4k resolution and launches iNspect Color
International machine-vision technology company Dalsa Corp introduced its Spyder3 4K camera at The Vision Show, which was held during June in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
The camera has a higher, 4k-resolution, which offers a larger field of view and reduces system costs because fewer cameras are needed for a vision system, says the firm. The Spyder3 product family uses the company's patented dual line scan sensor technology which provides better responsiveness and is easy to use.
"With the introduction of the Spyder3 4K camera, Dalsa is expanding its dual line scan product family to a higher resolution. Our customers now have more choices for high-speed applications while reducing their system costs," commented Xing-Fei He, Senior Product Manager, Dalsa.
The Spyder3 line scan camera surpasses its predecessor, the Spyder 2, is three times more responsive and runs at twice the speed, without impacting noise levels. The camera's responsiveness is particularly important in low lighting situations. The Spyder3 now offers 1k, 2k, and 4k resolutions with a 14 x 14 µm or 10 x 10 µm pixel size.
Since its release, the Spyder3 camera has become one of the most successful imaging products in the market place, claims Dalsa. It is particularly well-suited to film, glass, and print and web inspection, as well as other general machine-vision applications.
In other news, Dalsa has launched a major new version of the iNspect software package for its line of Vision Appliances.
With the introduction of iNspect Color, this machine-vision inspection tool adds support for colour processing, as well as extensive new inspection capabilities. It provides the ability to segment images by colour such that all of the standard measurement tools can be applied to the inspection task, including verification, sorting and inspection of parts and assemblies. It is well suited to colour-based quality inspection procedures in the packaging, automotive and pharmaceutical industries.
In addition to colour support, the software also provides new and incremental tool improvements, interactive tool set-up and easier integration with third-party devices - such as Rockwell Automation's programmable logic controllers. Special features, such as on- the-fly image rotating and multi-camera tiling, have been added to further simplify application set-up. Similarly, multi-camera display and statistical trend plots are now available on the operator interface.
