PerkinElmer Showcases Its Suite of Innovative Machine Vision and Illumination Products at Machine Vision China 2008

Thursday March 20 12:00 PM

"This marks the first time PerkinElmer is exhibiting its machine vision products in China," said Steve Barry, Director of Lighting Sales, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics. "We are very pleased to present PerkinElmer's broad machine vision and illumination product range in China and spotlight our innovations in this important and growing market."

PerkinElmer will exhibit its VIGI-Lux(R) family of direct illumination systems, including the newest addition, the ViGI-Lux 5770 High Intensity IR Illuminator well suited for a range of demanding applications including license plate recognition, infrared surveillance, and industrial machine vision applications. The Vigi-Lux 5770 provides up to 50 Joules of flash for high intensity illumination and is available in both narrow and wide beam configurations. The Xenon flashlamp in the VIGI-Lux 5770 allows the system to cover the full light spectrum from ultraviolet through the visible to the infrared. A standard IR long-pass filter removes all wavelengths under 780 nm, making the strobe invisible to the naked eye.

In addition, PerkinElmer will highlight its SmartBlue(TM) family of Digital Linescan Cameras. SmartBlue cameras offer internal 'smart' pixel correction, have high speed data transmission rates ranging from 40 MHz to 80 MHz, depending upon the particular model, and have high line rates ranging from 19 kHz up to 70 kHz, depending upon the model. SmartBlue cameras are available in 512, 1024, 2048, & 4096 pixel configurations. An industry-standard CameraLink(TM) digital communication interface is standard for all SmartBlue models.

Other PerkinElmer technologies on display will include:

-- CX-Strobe(TM) Series -These fiber optic machine vision strobes offer high intensity full spectrum light, long life, improved stability, a universal AC input (100-240 VAC),and come in a powder-coated aluminum enclosure. The CX-Strobe Series is CE-certified and configured for various fiber optic light guides, inputs for external trigger and intensity control, and allows for easy and quick lamp replacement.

-- P-Series High Speed Linear Photodiode Array Imagers - Available in standard array of 2048 and 4096 pixels, featuring either glass or UV-enhanced fused silica glass. These high-speed linear photodiode array imagers provide an extended spectral range from UV-NIR, center-split, dual channel readout, and ultra low image lag. The two-phase CCD readout register requires only 5 Volt clocking.

-- PAX Family of Xenon light sources - Available in both 6-Watt and 10-Watt models, these Precision-Aligned Xenon integrated light sources suit a variety of clinical diagnostics, life science, and analytical instrumentation applications. These fully integrated lamp modules contain the Xenon flash lamp, trigger circuit and power supply required to produce microsecond pulses of broadband light with exceptional arc stability.
