High-speed camera systems from ipf: even more convenient and versatile thanks to further developments

The OC29 high-speed camera systems (monochrome or color) from ipf electronic can be used to track fast-running processes and quickly identify possible sources of error with targeted analysis. For the current camera versions, the user interface of the included software has been revised and the range of lenses has been expanded. This makes the devices even easier and more convenient to commission and more flexible in their application.

 

Multiple camera operation via one interface

The new software version for the OC29 now allows the integration of several high-speed cameras on a uniform interface. In this way, several cameras can be configured and operated centrally via a PC in one application, for example, to observe fast-moving processes simultaneously from different perspectives and then analyze them. In addition, this new function makes it possible to use several high-speed cameras in the area of quality assurance, among other things, e.g. for the documentation of the complete assembly of complex assemblies, such as engine units. For this purpose, for example, the components of an assembly to be inspected are recorded from different angles, with individual images then serving as evidence of the complete assembly.

 

New lens with liquid lens

Until now, only C-mount lenses with manual focusing of the camera image were available for the OC29 high-speed cameras. With the liquid lens now available as an option, the cameras are now even easier to set up and operate, as the focus is simply adjusted via a software slide control. For this purpose, the lens is connected to the PC via a cable with M8 connector and USB port, which also contains the software for the camera with the user interface. Communication between the PC and the camera lens with liquid lens is handled by an electronic module specially developed by ipf electronic.

 

For the liquid lens to obtain the correct focus in a specific application with the help of the software, it is only necessary to point the camera at the area to be monitored and adjust the software controller so that a sharp camera image can be seen on the user interface.

 

The new software version for the high-speed cameras is available via download from the ipf electronic website. The optional liquid lens is now available at ipf's web store.
