In the face of the extensive demand for machine vision products in the intelligent manufacturing industry, Echo Optoelectronics has improved the industrial camera product system around multiple dimensions, and now launched a new UA series of small area scan cameras, which can be used for machine vision applications in multiple industries and play the role of the "eye" of the machine, which is an ideal choice to help you upgrade your intelligent manufacturing.
【Product Introduction】
1. Complete models and excellent imaging
The UA series cameras are available in 1 million/2,300,000/3,200,000/5,000,000/6,300,000/12 million/20 million pixel resolutions, including black and white and color image modes. The cameras are equipped with advanced CMOS image sensors, excellent light sensitivity, outstanding color reproduction, powerful performance, and ultra-short exposure times as low as 1us, which can easily capture high-speed dynamic images and present excellent imaging results.
2. Dual interface, flexible configuration
The UA series cameras provide two data interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet and USB3.0, which can meet the needs of machine vision applications in different scenarios.
The 7 products of the UA-GV series use the industry's common Gigabit network interface for data transmission, with long transmission distance, strong anti-interference performance, support POE power supply, no need for separate external power supply, and can continue to use the existing Ethernet infrastructure, which helps to reduce the overall cost of the vision system.
The 7 products of the UA-U30 series use USB3.0 interface for data transmission, which has the convenient characteristics of plug-and-play, and has extremely low latency and jitter to ensure the smoothness and stability of data transmission.
3. Lossless compression, one step ahead
Some cameras in the UA series are equipped with lossless compression. In the lossless compression mode, 100% of the original image data can be completely retained, the image data rate breaks through the interface bandwidth limit, and the camera frame rate and data rate can be increased by 1.5~3 times, and the high frame rate is at your fingertips.
Taking a 5-million-pixel industrial camera (UA5MEAGV-50M/C) as an example, the frame rate is 24fps and the data rate is 119MB/s in uncompressed mode. In lossless compression mode, the frame rate is increased to 50fps, and the data rate is increased to 252MB/s.
4. Diversified functions and better experience
UA series cameras have built-in multiple algorithms such as defect pixel correction, flat field correction, color correction, look-up table, pixel binning, noise reduction, sharpening, saturation adjustment, color temperature adjustment, etc., to improve image quality by processing and optimizing the original image signal. It also supports advanced functions such as sequence control, auto exposure, auto white balance, event triggering, chunk, burst triggering, trigger caching, etc., making vision applications more convenient and efficient.
5. Highly integrated, low energy consumption
In order to comply with the trend of miniaturization and integration of vision systems, the UA series cameras adopt a new design with a compact body structure, lightweight design, and support for four-sided installation, which is easy to deploy and integrate.
The heat dissipation structure of the camera is optimized, and the power consumption of the whole machine is as low as about 3W, which effectively reduces the heating condition of the camera, reduces the image noise, and improves the imaging effect.
6. Open, compatible, flexible and adaptable
The camera is open and compatible with multi-brand visual algorithm platforms, which is convenient for rapid development and application, and effectively shortens the project delivery cycle.
【Application Scenarios】
1. Guide positioning
Guided positioning refers to obtaining the coordinate and angle data of the target object through camera imaging, and then transmitting the data to the actuator such as the robot to ensure that it completes the precise operation. UA series cameras with high frame rates, such as UA2M3AFU30-164M/C, UA3M2ABU30-120M/C, etc., can be applied to loading and unloading flying photography, alignment lamination, mobile phone parts assembly, automotive parts grabbing, guided dispensing, etc. in industrial automation processes.
2. Visual measurement
Visual measurement refers to the extraction of information such as the edges and contours of an image through visual algorithms, and the geometric dimensions of the target object are accurately calculated. UA series cameras are especially suitable for visual measurement of small-size and high-precision products, such as lithium battery size measurement, IC chip size, spacing, width measurement, PCB printed circuit board component size, circuit measurement, etc.
3. Visual inspection
Visual inspection mainly focuses on the detection of quality problems such as surface defects and defects of products to improve product yield. The UA series cameras can be used for panel color aberration and spot detection, PCB circuit board parts missing, wrong installation and missing solder detection, as well as food and beverage packaging inspection.
