New XIMEA White Paper: What Would You Do With the Power of a PC and PLC in an Industrial Camera

Would you improve your product quality and cut waste? Would you cut out thousands of dollars from your capital expenditures by including a PLC inside the camera along with the PC for real-time downstream product sorting and robot guidance?

These are just a few examples of how customers can benefit from a new class of industrial PC camera described in “PC Cameras: PC-Host Vision Performance Without Sacrifice,” a new white paper from XIMEA GmbH, manufacturer of industrial, smart camera, and scientific imaging equipment.

In the past, machine vision customers have had to choose between fully functional, space-hogging PC-host systems and compact, smart cameras that are not all that smart. This new white paper explains how products such as XIMEA’s new CURRERA line of PC cameras use high-speed, low-power Intel Atom and AMD Fusion microprocessors with zero copy transfers to achieve upwards of 90 Gigaflops – enough to match a PC-host system with enough spare horsepower to include an integrated PLC with microsecond latency.

Download XIMEA’s newest white paper at www.ximea.com and automatically get entered to win a CURRERA-R starter kit while learning more about the capabilities of PC cameras, including support for fully functional and embedded versions of Windows 7 and Linux OS; user-selectable, full image processing software libraries; and integrated PLC and PC peripheral device support.
