CV640
[pdf brochure][mechanical diagram][specifications]

The CV640 digital firewire camera for machine vision applications provides up to 120 frames per second at VGA resolution. Two firewire ports for daisy-chaining cameras have industrial screw captivation for ensuring that cables stay connected in rugged environments. Triggering is make especially easy through the TTL-level SMB trigger-in and SMB-trigger out connectors. The SMB trigger I/O can also be daisy chained so that one camera can control the triggering of the next, or so that the trigger of one camera can be fed through to the next camera. Additional trigger I/O and general purpose digital outputs are found on the 12-pin hirose connector.

The CV640 is suitable for a wide range of machine vision and industrial imaging applications such as semiconductor and component inspection, manufacturing quality control, food and beverage inspection, automotive inspection, and many other vision applications.

NOTE: The CV640 has been discontinued. It is now available only so long as supplies last.
