Thomas - Your EMVA Update Arrived

After VISION, the world's leading trade fair for machine vision, could not be held last year due to the pandemic, the preparations for the new date from 5 to 7 October 2021 are now gathering speed. Now that we have a planning basis with the latest Baden-Württemberg Corona Ordinance dated 28 June, we are doing everything to ensure that 2021 will be a successful VISION year," promised Florian Niethammer, Project Manager for VISION at Messe Stuttgart. According to the long-standing VISION expert, the support and anticipation in the industry are unwavering: "In spite of the dynamic pandemic situation and the realistic expectation among everyone involved, we are sensing enormous anticipation and the great desire that the machine vision industry and its customers can finally meet each other again in person in Stuttgart."

Booth presenting the 'International Machine Vision Standards' will be organised by the EMVA in cooperation with AIA, CMVU, JIIA and VDMA.
In Hall 8, stand 8B50, machine vision experts present the most commonly used digital interface standards in the industry in their current versions and stand by for advice on which standard should be used best for a certain application.
Furthermore new standards initiatives will be introduced.

International Vision Night
'Besides being exhibitor, obviously we would so much like to invite the vision community to the popular Vision Night networking event on the evening before the trade show', comments Thomas Lübkemeier, EMVA General Secretary, the recent news on Vision 2021 taking place and further informs, 'currently we are evaluating how such an event of networking and socialising could look like under the given pandemic regime. Final conclusion and details will be spread via the known EMVA channels.'

Our APREX Track software is at the heart of two recent studies published in leading scientific journals, one in nuclear fusion and the other in fluid mechanics. Read more ›

The new cx4090HS 3D sensor module, which AT – Automation Technology recently launched as the first product of its new C6 series to complement its modular 3D sensor concept, offers customers added value in many ways. Most importantly, it attracts a lot of attention with its unique new features.
The implementation of GenICam 3D is an absolute novelty and opens up completely new horizons in the 3D industry. After AT was the first supplier of 3D cameras to pioneer the connection of hardware and applications with the GenICam standard back in the late 2000s, the northern German company is now once again one of the first global technology companies to enable an uncomplicated connection between software and 3D camera via Plug&Play with GenICam 3D for communication with 3D cameras.

Baumer presents the AX smart cameras, its first industrial-grade smart cameras that combine the market-leading NVIDIA Jetson modules with powerful Sony CMOS sensors to create a compact, flexible, and freely programmable image processing platform for AI applications. As a result, a separate PC is no longer needed for image processing, saving space and costs while simplifying system design and integration. This mainly benefits applications in the area of quality inspection and process monitoring where large amounts of data must be processed within very short time periods for vision-at-the-edge computing.

Teledyne e2v introduces Tetra, a low-cost, high-performance quad linear CMOS sensor family. The Tetra sensors are ideal for food sorting, recycling, logistics, pick-and-place, document scanning, and other machine vision applications that require cost-effective mono, color, and multispectral imaging.
Tetra sensors are available in a 2k resolution with a 14 μm x 14 μm pixel size, or 4k resolution with a 7 μm x 7 μm pixel size at a max line rate of 128kHz aggregate. The mono models can be configured to output one, two, or four rows and the color models provide RGB and mono outputs. Using wafer level coated dichroic filters, the sensor also provides spectrally independent RGB and NIR outputs for multispectral imaging. Read more ›

Teledyne is pleased to announce the release of its new Lt Series USB3 high resolution cameras. With robust enclosures and fully locking USB3 connectors, these new cameras are built for rugged 24/7 use.
The Lt Series cameras are part of the Teledyne Lumenera product line and are designed to meet the challenges of today’s modern imaging systems by providing advanced vision performance while using less power, less space, and fitting increasingly tight budgets. Equipped with Sony® Pregius™ 3.45 µm pixel sensors, these new cameras are available in resolutions from 17-31 megapixels, and perform in a wide variety of imaging applications where higher resolution is key, including aerial imaging, Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), robotic inspection solutions, and life sciences.
