Vision System Doubles Processing Power

Preparing for inspection tasks, the 4" x 5" x 2.5" CVS-1455 vision system provides twice the processing power and four times the storage capacity of its predecessor, the NI CVS-1454. Performing at 1,436 MIPS, the system also provides more than three times the processing power of a typical smart camera. Users can choose from more than 50 IEEE 1394-compliant cameras. Features include a resolution up to 2,000 x 2,000, frame rates up to 100 fps, 128 MB of nonvolatile flash memory, and 29 digital I/O lines for control and communication with PLCs, relays, Compact FieldPoint, and other automation devices. Base price is $3,995. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, Austin, TX. (800) 258-7022.
