ONTARIO--(뉴스와이어)--DALSA Corporation (TSX:DSA), a leader in machine vision technology, today introduced the Piranha3™16k CMOS line scan camera. This new high-speed model features 16k resolution with a 3.5 micrometre pixel size and a 70kHz line rate for ultra-fast 1146 Mpixels/s throughput – surpassing both the resolution and the throughput of any previous DALSA line scan camera. This new camera is being showcased at ITE 2010, the International Technical Exhibition on Image Technology and Equipment, Dec. 8-10, 2010 at Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan in booth #62.

With DALSA‘’s CMOS technology providing on-chip ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) and CDS (Correlated Double Sampling), the Piranha3 16k camera delivers unprecedented speed with low noise and high dynamic range. It is ideally suited for the inspection of large area flat-panel displays and printed circuit boards, along with high performance document scanning and other high throughput applications. The new Piranha3 16k delivers unrivalled precision and speed within a compact form factor of 150x80x77mm.

“The Piranha3 16k camera delivers unparalleled performance using DALSA‘’s own CMOS sensor architecture,” said DALSA Senior Product Manager Xing-Fei He. “Combined with our new high speed interface, we are able to meet the market‘’s increasing demand for higher resolutions and speeds using a single, extended cable solution in a low cost package.”

To deliver its full bandwidth, the Piranha3 16k high speed uses the new HSLink(1) machine vision connectivity interface pioneered by DALSA. HSLink takes the key strengths of Camera Link®, adds new features and functions, and combines them with unprecedented, scalable bandwidth in 300 megabyte/second steps (from 300 to 6000 megabytes/second) while using globally available, off-the-shelf components.

The Piranha3 16k camera is supported by DALSA‘’s Xcelera-HS PX8 frame grabber. The Xcelera-HS PX8 also leverages DALSA new HSLink interface to deliver unprecedented image acquisition bandwidth of 1.8 gigabytes/second and host transfer bandwidth of 2 gigabytes/second over multiple-lane PCI Express implementations.

Software Advantage

All Piranha cameras are supported by DALSA‘’s Sapera™ vision software. This core development platform includes over 400 image processing primitive and industrial strength image analysis tools such as pattern finding, 1D and 2D barcode and OCR tools for part identification and detection, color processing tool, separation and measurement applications, blob analysis tool and inspection metrology tool for real-world dimensional measurements.
