Vision Components: Embedded Cameras with LED Ring Light

vcnanoz-led_embedded_2000px

Vision Components now offers image processing systems with integrated LED ring lights and flash controllers in a compact camera housing. Many applications can therefore be implemented with VCnanoZ embedded vision systems without any additional components. These systems are particularly well-suited for code reading, pick & place applications, completeness control, and shape inspection. The integrated design saves space and costs. At only 80 x 45 x 20 mm, the intelligent cameras can be easily installed even when the available space is tightly limited.

Customers can choose between two options: six LEDs with 850 nm for NIR applications or a combination of four white and two red LEDs. On request, the manufacturer also supplies the cameras with individually specified LEDs or reflectors or as a board-level camera kit for OEMs. The embedded vision systems feature a Zynq SoC module combining a powerful dual-core ARM processor running at 2 x 866 MHz with an FPGA, as well as 512 MD DDR-SDRAM and 16 GB Flash EPROM. Six different global shutter CMOS image sensors are available with resolutions up to 3.2 MP and high frame rates (e.g. 88 fps at 3.2 MP). In addition, the VCnanoZ series provides practical interfaces: an Ethernet port, two digital inputs, four digital outputs, a trigger input, and a high-speed flash trigger output, which can also be used for added external lighting.

About Vision Components

Vision Components is a leading international manufacturer of embedded vision systems. The freely programmable cameras with powerful onboard CPUs perform image processing tasks on their own without the need for an additional computer. Vision Components offers OEMs versatile Linux-based embedded systems for 2D and 3D image processing, supplied as board cameras or in protective casings. These are complemented by a growing range of ultracompact MIPI camera boards, which connect to a variety of different CPU boards. In addition, Vision Components offers software libraries and develops customized solutions on request.

The team of experts can draw on extensive knowledge and over 20 years of experience with imaging applications. The company based in Ettlingen in southwestern Germany was founded in 1996 by Michael Engel, the inventor of the first industrial-grade intelligent camera. More world premieres followed, including the world's first intelligent vision sensors and the first-ever embedded 3D laser profiler. Today, Vision Components has sales offices in the United States and Japan and works with local partners in over 25 countries to provide consistent customer focus and readily available expertise throughout the world.

Here you’ll find a wealth of practical technical insights and expert advice to help you bring AI and visual intelligence into your products without flying blind.
