Machine vision system is now compact and more affordable

April 2001 Motion Control & Drives

With high-resolution imaging plus network communications, the Series 600 delivers vital control data such as quality control inspection results; coordinate information for motion controllers, statistical process control data and 2D code verification. Using DVT's patented technology, the Series 600 delivers speed with an embedded PowerPC processor, optimum image stability and repeatability. Small enough to fit in the palm of the hand, the camera, image acquisition electronics and processor are integrated into a single, self-contained unit without the use of a PC on the factory floor.

In conjunction with DVT's FrameWork software, each of the tools and functions normally associated with high-end vision systems are available in a cost-effective package. All upgrades are free and downloadable from www.dvtsensors.com, and new versions of FrameWork are always backward-compatible and upgradeable.

Savings in manpower can be had, where the vision system can take over work that would ordinarily have required a full-time operator.
