BAUMER
High-speed image processing with 8 GB internal image memory
 The Baumer QX series 10 GigE cameras feature 8 GB internal image memory and extended functionalities. Process monitoring applications benefit from inspection times increased by a factor of 4 as well as flexible usage of the memory. The new function package is available by a firmware update starting the 1st quarter of 2019.
With the expansion of the internal image memory from 2 to 8 GB, more images can be stored, which significantly increases the recording time: 2 s at a frame rate of 335 fps with 12 MP resolution. Flexible memory management, for example 2 MP resolution in a ROI (Region of Interest) nearly provides more than 4 s recording time at a rate of 1000 fps. Two further image buffer modes added to Burst Mode enable even more memory flexibility. Read more ›
MIDWEST OPTICAL SYSTEMS
New SWIR Filters and Wire-Grid Polarizers
 Midwest Optical Systems (MidOpt), a worldwide leader in manufacturing machine vision filters specially designed to enhance contrast and image quality, showcased their new Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Filters and Wire-Grid Polarizers at VISION Messe Stuttgart early November.
SWIR Filters enhance the image quality of InGaAs camera technology for a variety of machine vision applications and are useful for applications imaging from 900-2300nm. Wire-Grid Polarizers are effective in both the visible and infrared, ranging from 400-2000nm.

CMOS Sensors are Now a Great Replacement for High-Resolution CCDs
 CMOS image sensor technology has turned into the new normal. Well, not entirely… For high-end resolutions above 30 Megapixels, users still require CCD imagers to acquire high-resolution images. But now, CMOS sensors are available with high and super-high resolution, and bring numerous benefits for developers of demanding applications in terms of quality, speed, pricing, and time-to-market.
Sony’s decision to execute their CCD end-of-line (EOL) opened the way to a secure CMOS transition in all areas, with reliable ten-years transition plans. This evolution has boosted CMOS development since then and changed the whole vision industry. Read more ›
SICK
Small, versatile and fast – Launch of a new generation of high-speed 3D cameras with Ranger3
 Industrial applications are calling for precise 3D measurements at faster and faster speeds in flexible production processes. Zero tolerance, even in the case of the tiniest errors and irregularities, is the order of the day. The technology used for this purpose must remain in the background, must not take up too much space, and should enable low-energy, low-maintenance operation.
With a CMOS sensor and ROCC technology, SICK is taking 3D vision to the next level and setting new standards with Ranger3. Read more ›
TELEDYNE E2V
New 5 Mpixel, 1/1.8 inch CMOS image sensor for machine vision
 Teledyne e2v announces the expansion of its Emerald family of CMOS image sensors with a new 5 Megapixel device.
The EmeraldTM 5M is designed for machine vision, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), and factory automation applications that require higher resolution images of objects in motion, with no distortion. Available in both monochrome and color, this sensor has a small 1/1.8 inch optical format, containing a 2.8 μm, low-noise, global shutter pixel, and arranged in a 2,560 x 1,936 array. The device can also stream video at 50 fps at 10 bits, over a 4 wire, MIPI CSI-2 interface. Read more ›
TELEDYNE DALSA
Linea ML CMOS multiline cameras for high-speed vision applications
 Teledyne DALSA introduces its newest Linea cameras. The cutting-edge multiline CMOS camera, Linea ML™ will transform the way line scan cameras are used, including options for monochrome/HDR, color, and multispectral imaging for various machine vision applications.
Based on the latest CMOS sensor technology from Teledyne DALSA, the Linea ML cameras deliver spectacular images at a maximum line rate of up to 300 kHz using the next generation CLHS fiber optic interface. Sequential exposure with independent start and stop integration for each channel allows versatile illumination configurations using the latest LED lighting technologies. Read more ›
