Seica, Inc has just added Flying IC Thermal Detection Units to its line of Aerial flying probers.

Two IC Thermal Detection Units, are positioned on each side of the unit that is being tested to detect thermal parameters of ICs under power. The purpose is to compare
temperatures of “known good” boards and “suspect” boards and indict bad components in the depot repair environment. 

The thermal sensors feature in-circuit, functional, boundary, scan and power up tests that are well-suited to the production and depot repair markets. The IC Thermal
Detection Unit...

Cognex Corporation recently introduced two new 1D barcode readers - the DataMan 100 QL and DataMan 200 QL. The two fixed mount readers offer 1D barcode reading performance and are easily field-upgraded to add 2D Data Matrix and QR code reading capability if application needs change at a future date.

The new additions can read codes that have marks that are low contrast, damaged, or distorted. A simple software upgrade also makes them ‘future proof’.

SICK has launched the Inspector I40 FLEX Vision Sensor. The I40 FLEX offers the fastest inspection speeds and the highest resolutions within the Inspector Vision Sensor family. This powerful sensor keeps up with the speed of nearly any production line to verify completeness and quality - no matter what angle or orientation your product comes down the line.

The I40 FLEX's fast inspection speed increases throughput, while a higher resolution of 640 x 480 enables the I40 FLEX to provide the best image quality within the Inspector family. In addition to increased speed and higher resolution, the...

OMRON Corp. has released vision sensor software for glue bead inspection (models FZ3-UGI and FZ3-UGIH) to global markets.

In recent years, the development of electric and hybrid vehicles in the automobile industry has been gathering steam to reduce carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions in order to implement measures for preventing global warming inspired by the Kyoto Protocol. These vehicles are equipped with many electric devices such as motors, batteries, and transformers. A sealing method using a high sealing quality liquid gasket has been widely used in the automobile industry to...

Basler Vision Technologies has launched a new series of industrial Gigabit Ethernet cameras, the Basler ace series, designed to meet the cost demands of analog camera users while offering all of the technological advantages of a digital camera. This goal has been achieved by a strictly cost-driven product design that leverages Basler's market leading position in GigE based cameras while maintaining Basler's high quality standards. And all of this is topped by entry-level pricing of 299.

The cameras provide an extremely small 29 x 29 mm footprint, Power over Ethernet, high-performance...

JAI has announced the AT-140CL and the AT-200CL, the latest generation in its industry-leading 3CCD color camera series. The new 3-by-1.4-megapixel and 3-by-2-megapixel cameras draw upon JAI's expertise in prism-block technology to provide a larger sensor format and higher resolution than previously available 3CCD RGB models.

The AT-140CL features three 1/2-inch progressive scan CCDs (Sony ICX267AL), each with a resolution of 1392 x 1040 pixels and an individual pixel size of 4.65 by 4.65 microns. The AT-200CL uses three 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CCDs (Sony ICX274AL) to provide a...

Cognex Corp. has released VisionPro 6.0, which expands image acquisition options with support for very large camera images and nontraditional sources such as 3D, thermal and X-ray imagers. It also offers high-accuracy calibration and image correction for line scan cameras, and expanded ID reading capability of 2D codes.

The image acquisition system in VisionPro 6.0 has been enhanced to support images up to 16 bits in depth, which enables use of nontraditional acquisition sources such as 3D profilers, thermal cameras and X-ray imagers. Built-in compatibility with selected thermal cameras and...

Based on a 1.3-megapixel CMOS progressive scan sensor, the Toshiba Teli CSB1100CL-10 camera features 1,240 by 1,024 resolution and 22 frame-per-second capture of fast-moving subjects. The CMOS sensor heightens the camera's spectral response and raises its signal-to-noise ratio. The camera also incorporates the CameraLink£ interface for digital 10-bit output. The interface assures interchangeability of the CSB1100CL-10 with other CameraLink products using a common connector, cable and pin assignment. The CSB1100CL-10 features Toshiba Teli's patented Windows of Interest (WOI) capability...

Servo-Robot introduces its high-resolution 3-D Quanta laser-camera for both joint tracking and weld bead inspection. The camera is specially designed for welding processes such as laser, TIG or plasma welding. It is an essential module in the Servo-Robot Modular DIGI-LAS Laser Welding System (DIGI-LAS/MDL), which includes automatic joint tracking, joint inspection and inline quality control functions. This integrated system can be mounted on robots or special purpose welding machines. The Quanta laser-camera also features a 2-D video viewing system with its own welding area lighting for...

Wahl Instruments Inc. has added a long distance model to its line of Wahl Heat Spy thermal imaging cameras. The long distance model HSI3003 offers narrow angle field of view optics, which enables detection and temperature measurement of small objects over long distances. It also features a tripod mount for remote use. The Long Distance HSI3003 is fully radiometric and measures the temperature of every pixel. The easy report software allows the user to easily insert multiple images, with data, taken during a site survey to produce an inspection report. The imager features a 160 x 120 pixel...
