PPT Vision has released its high-resolution M-390 smart cameras for high-precision machine vision applications. The M-390 cameras can be used as part of PPT Vision's Impact M-Series embedded vision system – a single system with four independently operating cameras running distinct inspection, guidance or identification programs.
The Impact M-Series system's unique design allows operators to mix and match camera resolutions for all points of inspection, providing the flexibility to deploy cameras that are suited specifically to each of the separate inspection requirements. With increased resolution – 16 times the resolution of VGA (640 x 480) vision cameras – the Impact M-390 smart cameras provide ideal solutions for inspections requiring greater precision.
The addition of four independent smart cameras allows the M-Series system to excel at differentiating parts, locating defects and precisely gauging features on four sides of a part. Equipped with an optional right angle view, the compact smart camera features increased mounting possibilities in space-constrained locations.
Utilising PPT Vision's Impact software, the M40 processor works with a Microsoft Windows XP operating system to transmit data and images, networking directly to databases, Scada systems and other business system software. The M-Series system provides a superior machine vision solution for manufacturing industries that require more than one inspection, including electronics, pharmaceutical, medical devices, consumer products and automotive.
