  • Light weight – only 46 grams
Specifications for Teledyne DALSA’s Nano cameras can be found on each camera model’s specifcations page.
  
 

A new Mako model within the ultra-compact, low priced camera family for easy integration into standard imaging processing systems is now available.  Allied Vision‘s new Mako G-234 broadens the range of products equipped with Sony Pregius CMOS sensor technology. With its high sensitivity and an outstanding image quality the Mako G-234 is an ideal candidate for the transition from CCD to CMOS technology.


Key Features include: 

  • High quality for a low price
  • High performance from Sony’s new Pregius IMX249 CMOS sensor
  • Dynamic range of 75 dB  due to high saturation capacity and low noise.  
  • 40 fps @ full resolution (1936 x 1216)
  • Small foot print (60.5mm x 29mm x 29mm)

Specifications for Allied Vision Technology cameras can be found on each camera model’s specification page.l  

3.  IDS Imaging Introduces single board, low cost, 18 MP color camera and releasing “Rev 2” CP cameras in USB3.0  

Single Board USB3.0 camera with 18 MP Color sensor

The new UI-359xLE camera, providing one of the highest resolutions in the industrial and scientific camera industry, is perfectly suited for applications requiring ultra-high resolution in tight space constraints. This rolling shutter sensor from Aptina delivers extremely detailed images from VGA to 18 MP, including 4K Cinema resolution.

Due to the latest in Back Side Illuminated (BSI) pixel technology, this sensor is extremely light-sensitive and thus perfectly suited for high-resolution visualization in low-light microscopy, bar code reading, document scanning, or medical imaging applications. 
 
 
Key Features include:  
  • Low Cost, single-board camera design 
  • Resolutions: Full HD (1920 x 1080, 37 fps), 4K Cinema (4096 x 2304, 18 fps) and full resolution 18 MP (4912 x 3684, 11 fps). 
  • Optical mounts:   Board-level versions available with S-mount lens holder, or as a bare board-level camera without optics mount.  Sensor is available as a housed camera in the UI-3590CP camera. 

Contact us for additional information – Product release is planned for early 2016.  

 





PRODUCT UPDATE:  IDS Imaging Next Generation “Rev 2” USB3.0 Industrial Cameras

4.  JAI Introduces worlds fastest 12 megapixel camera using the CMOSIS CMV12000


JAI has expanded its “Spark Series” with their new SP-12000-CXP4, 12MP camera with a CoaXPress 4 connector interface.  


This combination of the CMOSIS sensor and CoaXPress interface make it the worlds fastest 12MP CMOS camera at 189 fps!

There are actually four new Spark CXP4 models.  Because of the extreme performance, two different thermal management options have been created providing an “extended temperature” model.


Key Features include: 

  • 12 MP CMOSIS Global shutter sensor @ 189 fps
  • CoaXPress interface
  • Multi-ROI, HDR (High Dynamic Range up to 90 dB) 
  • ALC (Auto light control)
  • Rugged design to withstand high vibration (10G) and high shock (80 G)

Specifications for JAI cameras can be found HERE and specific data sheets for SP-12000-CXP4.
