High-speed image processing: intelligent line scan camera VC4002L

Ettlingen – Thanks to its 400 MHz (3,200 MIPS) DSP, the new VC4002L line scan camera from Vision Components is one of the fastest intelligent cameras on the market. The device supports three integration modes: the free-running mode enables a scan rate of 11 kHz.

With a constant integration time, the camera can be triggered externally at a maximum scan rate of 5,5 kHz. A third mode allows for a variable integration time which is determined by external triggering, reaching a maximum scan rate of 11 kHz. The Smart Camera comes equipped with 32 MB DRAM and 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage.

It features both an Ethernet and a RS232 interface as well as four digital PLC inputs and four outputs, an image trigger input and a flash trigger out-put. Due to its small dimensions (90 x 50 x 35 mm), the VC4002L can be easily integrated into machines and plants. Like all other Smart Cameras from Vision Components, it is especially suited for use in rugged industrial environments – due to its compact and robust housing, it withstands vibrations and shocks.
