EXO series cameras with GigE Vision interface gives your applications an extreme scalability. Quick and easy hardware interchangeability results in shorter design cycles and reduced development costs. Further value is added to your application by a virtually limitless feature set. As an example, the 4IO LED driver with standardized software control.
When the machinery does not need to be connected directly to the camera the ECO series is also available in PoE (Power over Ethernet) Versions. This simplifies the installation as there is only need for a single cable.
The successful EXO series is the shining basis of the EXO Tracer. The Tracer comes with identical camera features and additionally with a fully functional lens control (focus, zoom, aperture). Lens mount is a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount, covering all electric connections. Due to the size of the MFT Bayonet, the Tracer is a bit larger than the original EXO in dimensions. Still, the excellent thermal concept of the EXO qualifies for a operating temperature of up to 60°C.
All MFT lenses feature a specific beam geometry on the sensor side of the lens, which works in perfect harmony to sensors between 2/3″ and 1.2″. A nearly perfect flatfield is the compelling result. Together with up to 72dB dynamic range and up to 20 MP resolution, the Tracer delivers excellent image quality with its highly sensitive sensors.
The lens properties are integrated into the camera’s GenICam 3.0 tree, any GenICam-driven software is immediately able to use lens control without additional drivers. Same thing is valid for the integrated LED strobe control: All items adjustable via GenICam properties. This permits effortless and quick machine vision integration.
Tests at SVS-Vistek showed a surprising high repeatability of the lenses, even after 1 Mio focus cycles. Focus and zoom times are similar to what you know from lenses in photography.
EXO Camera Link models let you maintain the existing and proven infrastructure for years to come, while making use of the newest range of image sensors. The serialized interface has gained wide popularity and acceptance thanks to its high bandwidth. The EXO series was the first Camera Link model to include features such as 4IO strobe controller and LUT.
