PPT Vision has introduced 26 Impact M-Series colour cameras with dedicated colour Impact software tools for sorting, monitoring and identifying colour objects.
The Impact M-Series embedded vision system is a fast and robust factory automation camera system, and the addition of numerous colour cameras allows the system to solve a broad range of challenging machine vision applications. The colour camera models range from economical VGA resolution cameras, to 210fps high-speed cameras, to a 5 Megapixel high-precision model.
Greyscale cameras, like the Impact A20, solve many machine vision applications. However, sophisticated colour cameras and tools are needed to solve numerous critical inspection and guidance operations for industries ranging from food products to transportation equipment. Colour Impact M-Series cameras can be used to detect food spoilage and determine the fat content in meat. Other applications solved with the colour vision tools include sorting and identifying pharmaceutical tablets, detecting wire placement and components in electronic products, and many additional possibilities.
The Impact M-Series embedded vision system allows users to perform up to four unique inspections that can be initiated independently – at different times or simultaneously – utilising a single vision processor. Significant cost savings are achieved by eliminating the need to purchase multiple systems for separate inspection/guidance programmes, and the comprehensive system greatly reduces setup and networking time over the traditional use of multiple systems.
