Vision cards enhance imaging for smart manufacturing
Two cards from Axiomtek have been added to company’s portfolio. The AX92320 GigE Vision frame grabber card and the AX92350 real-time vision card are designed for reliable machine vision application in smart manufacturing.
The AX92320 is a four-port PCI Express GigE (GigE Vision offload engine) vision frame grabber card and the AX92350. The AX92320 supports four independent Gigabit 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) -compliant Ethernet ports and GigE vision camera compliance. The four-port PCI Express x4 frame grabber can provide up to 30W at 54V DC power to port which allows power to be supplied to connected PoE-based devices, such as GigE Vision cameras in machine vision systems. The intelligent GigE Vision card also supports IEEE 1588 (precise time protocol), enabling synchronisation with multi-camera acquisition. Combining IEEE 1588 and PoE function, the card uses a single Ethernet cable for power, data, and synchronisation. It also supports jumbo frames up to 9.5kbyte. The AX92320 is suitable for PoE applications such as automated optical inspection (AOI), factory automation, and PC-based surveillance systems.
The AX92320 and AX92350 can fit in the PCI Express slot of any multi-channel vision control systems to develop and deploy machine vision and surveillance applications.
The Axiomtek’s AX92350 is a PCI Express x1 vision card with vision-specific I/Os and real-time controls. A machine vision system requires accurate interaction between lighting, camera, actuator and sensor devices. The AX92350 vision I/O card integrates LED lighting controller, camera trigger, encoder input, and digital I/O to connect and control all the vision devices. The encoder input function is suited to conveyor applications, points out Axiomtek. There are four-channel trigger input, four-channel or eight-channel trigger output, four-channel LED lighting control, one-channel quadrature encoder, eight-channel isolated direct input and direct output, and one-channel auto measurement function for rugged machine vision and video surveillance applications.
Operating temperature range is 0 to 60 degrees C.
Axiomtek’s AX92320 and AX92350 are available now.
