The Guppy F-080B/C is a compact mainstream FireWire camera with a very good pricing - it fits for many applications:

  • Machine vision
  • Quality control 
  • Robotics
  • Industrial inspection
  • Security
  • ITS/Traffic monitoring
  • ... and many more

Application Case Studies:

  • Underwater Vision
    AVT Sponsored Team from Cornell University Wins 2010 RoboSub Challenge with Guppy equipped Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.

  • Mass and Class
    Industrial Inspection: Even for small mass-produced parts, it is worth using industrial image-processing systems to guarantee first-class quality. At NP Plastics, small plastic rollers for document binders are checked with AVT's FireWire cameras 600 times per minute in three dimensions.

  • Virtual Prototypes
    Industrial Inspection: Using “Augmented Reality,” auto manufacturers can integrate virtual CAD prototypes into actual modules or vehicles to find and solve assembly problems before production begins. The Unifeye Prototyping System from Metaio with AVT FireWire cameras makes it possible.
