Optical 3D Measurement by Laser Triangulation Method

The measurement technology of today has achieved accuracy and processing performance which allows an integration of acquisition and analysis in online production processes. For this purpose non-contact methods are almost solely used with need of high requirement on robustness and speed. more29.07.2010

PCIe x4 Frame Grabber Supports Basler's Camera

Silicon Software is introducing a fast PCIe x4 frame grabber. This new grabber supports the Basler A406k/kc at its full bandwidth. Basler's A406k/kc, the fastest Camera Link camera. The combination of these components represents a powerful systems available for industrial imaging. The microEnable IV series supports the maximum Camera Link speeds via a PCIe x4 interface. It reaches a transfer rate of 837 megabytes per second in a 10 tap, full configuration mode at the camera's full 2,320 x 1,726 pixel resolution and a repetition rate of 209 frames per second. more21.09.2009

Silicon Software Releases “SmartApplets” for Applications

Silicon Software delivers „SmartApplets" hardware programming as partial solution for applications for its V-series frame grabbers. „SmartApplets" is different to onboard image enhancements or image corrections. It covers complex image preprocessing, segmentation or classification tasks, which are processed on the board FPGA in real-time and with a high algorithmic quality. Hereby applications are tremendously accelerated and the load of the host CPU significantly reduced. more15.09.2009

Silicon Software Extends and Reorganizes its Frame Grabber Product Series

With microEnable IV AD4-CL, Silicon Software introduces a new CameraLink board in the high speed frame grabber range with support of two independent BASE configuration up to one 10taps FULL configuration camera. Besides a support of all available sensor types, a wide range of real-time preprocessing functions for image corrections and enhancements are implemented. microEnable IV AD4-CL is equipped with a x4 PCI Express interface and supports a sustainable transfer rate of up to 780 MB/s. In parallel Siliconsoftware reorganizes its frame grabber product line. more01.03.2005

Megapixel Progressive Scan CCD Camera

The STC-CL1500 by the Japanese manufacturer Sentech is a newly developed black and white 1.45M CCD camera for general purposes in the Machine Vision Industry. With only 90 x 44 x 29 mm in size the camera is extremely compact. In full resolution mode at 1360 x 1024 active pixels it delivers up to 15 fps from a 1/2" Sony CCD sensor. Just recently the STC-CL1500 was tested by the German frame grabber manufacturer Silicon Software and approved for use with their CameraLink grabber microEnable III. more
