According to the CoaXPress standard, triggering over CoaXPress (CXP) has a fixed latency of 3.4 µs with an accuracy of ± 4 ns. In this blog I will show you what these numbers mean to the vision engineer. The CXP standard is a digital video transmission standard. The frame grabber sents the trigger signal as…
Characterizing the image sensor/deciding on the image sensor is an important first step in camera selection for a machine vision application, but it is not a simple task. There are some courses such as the one highlighted below that can offer excellent training and support. You can also contact Adimec for information as we have…
At the Vision Trade Fair 2011 held in Stuttgart November 8th to 10th Ray Berst from Components Express discusses high-flex, long-distance cable and connector offerings that support the latest developments in interface standards and emerging standards. Those discussed are Camera Link HS, USB 3.0, and CoaXPress.
OEMs of precise inspection systems such as those used in FPD and semiconductor manufacturing, are continuously working to increase throughput and reduce costs.
For intelligent traffic systems, VGA resolution CCD-based cameras have traditionally been the accepted technology, but with the quality of CMOS image sensors continuously improving, CMOS-based cameras are now a viable option for demanding license plate recognition applications. The latest system requirements are for higher resolution (HDTV) and frame rates of 30 to 60 frames per…
Matrox has written a concise white paper providing details on CoaXPress and help when consideriing CoaXPress versus Camera Link or GigE Vision for your vision system.
Before any transistor is laid down, the incoming silicon wafer must be analyzed for flatness and defects. From this inspection, wafers can be classified to allow the best wafers to be used for the smallest technology node. Typically measurement techniques such as interferometry are used for this. Extremely stable cameras with low noise are needed…
An increase in resolution to a 25 Megapixel CMOS camera, can allow for a wider field of view (FOV), and better optical and/or measurement resolution. These cameras are a cost-effective way to make a performance leap in inspection and metrology systems.
The constant challenge in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing is to increase throughput while also increasing accuracy with shrinking dimensions. This means in-line inspection and metrology systems must provide 100% analysis at a high precision while maintaining high throughput. The latest innovations in ultra high-resolution image sensors and subsequent cameras support these goals. High resolution, high-speed…
