F-046B/C - Allied Vision Technologies

Compact, flexible, modular IEEE 1394 Wide VGA C-Mount camera

The Marlin F-046B/C is equipped with a very sensitive Sony CCD sensor. It runs at 52.71 fps (full resolution, Format_7). Higher frame rates can be reached by a smaller AOI and binning.

Sony ICX415 (removable IR cut filter)
Trigger
- Edge mode, trigger level control, single trigger, bulk trigger, programmable trigger delay
Options
- Various IR cut/pass filters
- CS-Mount
- Angled head
- Lateral cable exit
- White medical housing

Marlin cameras are equipped with many useful real-time image pre-processing functions. They are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU load on the host, so that an inexpensive system is sufficient.

Programmable LUT, white balance, hue, saturation
Debayering
Gain
- Auto/manual
- Manual gain control: 0 - 24 dB
Exposure
- Auto/manual
- Exposure time: 32 µs - 67 s
Color correction
Shading correction
Sub-sampling, 2x binning (b/w)
AOI (with speed increase)
Sequence mode - changes the image settings on the fly
Image mirror
Deferred image transport
SIS (secure image signature, time stamp for trigger, frame count etc.)
Storable user settings

With its modular and flexible design and the real-time pre-processing functions, this Marlin camera fits for many applications:

Machine vision
Quality control
Semiconductor inspection
Industrial inspection
... and many more

Application Case Studies:

Effective Medicine
Pharmaceutical corporation Boehringer Ingelheim switches to one- hundred-percent testing of medication capsules with digital cameras from Allied Vision Technologies.
Mass and Class
Industrial Inspection: Even for small mass-produced parts, it is worth it to use industrial image-processing systems to guarantee first-class quality. At NP Plastics, small plastic rollers for document binders are checked 600 times per minute in three dimensions.
