With higher resolution and frame speed, the latest machine vision cameras can improve accuracy and increase capabilities with 3D measurements<\/a>. One of the challenges can be transferring this high data rate to the frame grabber and processing system. Many advances have been made with Camera Link<\/a> to increase data rates, but this can come at a big cable cost and with a limited distance (less than 10 to 15 meters). The latest interfaces, such as CoaXPress<\/a>, can reduce cable costs up to 98% for high data rate applications.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are new standard machine vision interfaces that can efficiently support data rates such as 4 Megapixels at 180 fps or above. At Adimec we have customers for our CoaXPress solutions<\/a> that need a cost-effective and elegant solution to the multiple cables required for Camera Link. These customers are building innovative new OEM equipment for complex measurement methods in machine vision. A single or twin flexible coax cable also reduces the overall system cost.<\/p>\n An example customer has a system using more than 15, 4 Megapixel cameras with CoaXPress<\/a> to maximize speed and minimize cabling over 10 meters. At these speeds and cable length this would mean 15 x 4 = 60 Camera Link cables. Now they can suffice with simple, more flexible coax cables, which is a huge space and cost saver. <\/p>\n We have compiled cost information for a variety of machine vision interfaces to offer a quick overview and comparison. Camera prices vary based on quality and can influence the ability to achieve maximum frame rates. With multi-camera systems, CPU loads and subsequent costs must also be considered.<\/p>\n CoaXPress<\/a> also has appeal for customers who are upgrading existing, often analog, systems with coax cable already installed. These are typically outdoor applications<\/a> where the signal travels over larger distances such as defense, surveillance and security applications or traffic applications such as license plate recognition.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/p>\n
