Chronocam
Chronocam’s technology strategy is built on a straight-forward premise: in order to enable a safer, more efficient world though the capabilities of machine vision, we need to re-think traditional vision and processing. Our technology introduces a new computer vision paradigm based on how the human eye and brain work. Our approach significantly improves the performance and power efficiency of how computer vision can be implemented in a wide range of products and applications that improve the convenience and safety of our daily lives. Chronocam addresses head on the obstacles faced by previous generations of camera technology to meet the needs of modern applications in automotive, consumer, IoT, and industrial products.

Sawmills face a lot of work and expense to get each bundle of
wood that might go into a new deck, fence or building properly
prepared for sale. For example, planks have to be measured, cut
precisely, grouped by color and accurately graded in appearance
from 0-3 based on a complex series of rules taking into account
such factors as size of knots, grub holes and cracks.
The grading process can be a drain on both human and financial resources, and many of today’s sawmills might be missing out on opportunities for optimizing their throughput and profitability. Read more ›
BAUMER
QX series with 12 megapixel at 335 fps and 10 GigE interface
With the QX series cameras, Baumer sets new standards for high-speed image processing. With 12 megapixel resolution at 335 fps in Burst Mode, the cameras capture fine details and defects extremely precisely in high-dynamic processes. The 10 GigE interface continuously transfers data with a high bandwidth of 1.1 GB/s. This makes the cameras ideal for applications that require very high frame rates for short sequences.
As a result they are suitable, for example, for process analysis in industrial applications, for living cell analysis in medical applications, for scientific research or for motion analysis in sports. Read more ›
BITFLOW targets USB 3.1 vision users with new Aon-CXP CoaXPress frame grabber
BitFlow, a manufacturer of machine vision components used in robotics, automation systems and quality control, recently introduced its Aon-CXP CoaXPress single-link frame grabber that is fast gaining supporters among former USB 3.1 users.
Although the Aon-CXP is inexpensive and compact, it packs all the power of larger, multi-link CXP frame grabbers, delivering up to 6.25 Gb/S worth of data over the link, or almost twice the real world data rate of the USB3 Vision standard. Read more ›

ISRA VISION
The next dimension of bin picking: new sensor generation offers fast, flexible and robust separation of components
IntelliPICK3D is the new and extended sensor generation for flex-ible bin picking solutions. In the course of the ongoing develop-ment of the “Touch & Automate”-portfolio, the new sensor line will be joined by even more system sizes and equipped with new and useful system features. Thanks to its advanced software and new calculation times the new sensor generation provides highest reliability and a maximum of system availability. Serving the future of industrial production, the fully automated gripping will be faster and more precise than ever before. Read more ›
SONY introduces the IMX420/428 as the first imaging sensors that features its 3rd generation CMOS Global Shutter Mode.
SONY Semiconductor Solutions launches the first models featuring its 3rd generation CMOS Global Shutter with the IMX420 and IMX428 image sensors. Both models come with 7 Megapixel resolution, with the IMX420 reaching frames rates of up to 170 fps at 10bit pixel depth. Both sensors achieve an excellent saturation at 25.000e- for a pixel size of 4.5µm. These sensors come equipped with the SLVS-EC interface and new features like High/Low Conversation Gain (HCG), Dual Trigger, Dual ADC and self-triggering to increase the maximum throughput for object recognition and quality assurance of moving objects in Machine Vision, Robotics, and Factory Automation.
