BitFlow Cyton-CXP powerful frame grabber for Machine Vision
The new Cyton-CXP4 is BitFlow’s third frame grabber based on the CXP standard. The board is capable of four links at full CXP speed (6.25 Gb/s). CXP also allows control commands, triggers and power to be sent to and from cameras over the same coaxial cable. Also, the Cyton–CXP4 contains a fifth CXP connector serving as a high speed uplink capable of running the full 6.25 Gb/s from the frame grabber to the camera. This new grabber is based on BitFlow’s brand new PCIe Gen 2.0 platform.
CoaXPress (CXP) is a simple, yet powerful, interface standard for moving high speed serial data from a camera to a frame grabber. Video is captured at speeds of up to 6.25 Gb/s (Gigabits/second). Simultaneously, control commands and triggers can be sent to the camera at 20 Mb/s (with a trigger accuracy of +/- 2 ns). Up to 13 W of power can also supplied to the camera. All this takes place over a single piece of industry standard 75 Ohm coaxial cable. Multiple CXP links can be aggregated to support higher data rates (e.g. four links provide 25 Gb/s of data). The CXP standard opens the door to applications where cable cost, routing requirements and long distances have prevented the move to high resolution, high speed digital cameras. In many cases, existing coaxial infrastructure can be modified for CXP with very low installation costs.More information on the Cyton-CXP4 frame grabber

ELIIXA+ 8k/4k Pixels Cmos Line Scan Camera offers both speed and high sensitivity
e2v’s next generation of line scan cameras are setting new, high standards for line rate and image quality. Thanks to e2v’s
recently developed multi-line CMOS technology, the camera provides an unmatched 100,000 lines/s and combines high
response with an extremely low noise level; this delivers high signal to noise ratio even when short integration times are
required or when illumination is limited.The 5μm pixel size is arranged in four active lines, ensuring optimal spatial resolution in both scanning and sensor directions with standard F-mount lenses. Vertical and horizontal binning functions allow the camera to be operated in a 8,192 pixels, 5μm x 5μm pixel pitch, 4 active CMOS lines mode or 4,096 pixels, 10μm x 10 μm pixel pitch, 2 active CMOS lines mode depending on the user settings. This versatile feature sets new standard for next generation machine vision systems.
e2v multiline CMOS sensor technology is an inexpensive alternative to TDI CCD line scan cameras.
Applications include:-
• Raw material surface inspection
• General inspection
• Flat panel display inspection
• PCB inspection
• Solar cell inspection
• Parcel and postal sorting
• High resolution document scanning
• Print and paper inspectionDownload the flyer on the ELiiXA+ 8K/4K camera

Introducing CoaXPress
CoaXPress (CXP) is a simple, yet powerful, standard for moving high speed serial data from a camera to a frame grabber. Video is captured at speeds of up to 6 Gigabits/Second (Gb/S). On the same cable, control commands and triggers can be sent back at 20 Megabits /Second (Mb/S). Power is also supplied to the camera. All this happens over a single piece of industry standard 75 Ohm coaxial cable.
Multiple CXP links can be aggregated to support higher data rates (e.g. four links provide 25 Gb/S of data).
The CXP standard opens the door to applications where cable cost, routing requirements and long distances have prevented the move to high resolution, high speed digital cameras. In many cases, existing coaxial infrastructure can be repurposed for CXP with very low installation costs.CoaXPress solves many of the problems of previous machine vision standards. It eliminates the cost and distance restrictions of Camera Link cables. It provides a huge increase in quality, resolution and speed over analogue, while maintaining its simple and flexible cabling. GigE also uses low cost and long distance capable cabling, but introduces trigger latency and determinism issues that CXP does not have. The Bitflow Karbon-CXP gives your application all of these advantages on an industry proven platform.

Extended Dynamic Range CEMs
Channel electron multipliers (CEMs) are detectors, which respond to charged particles, hard and soft X-rays, and ultraviolet radiation. The extended dynamic range of CEMs are available with circular openings from 5mm to 25mm and rectangular openings from 2mm x10mm to 10mm x 10mm.
A CEM has a high surface resistance. When a potential is applied between the input and output end of the CEM, the resistive surface forms a continuous dynode. A dynode has the property of emitting secondary electrons when primary particles impinge upon it (Fig. 2). This process is called secondary electron emission. Through this process, a CEM is capable of detecting a particle or photon that has entered its funnel-shaped input aperture. These primary particles generate secondary electrons that are accelerated down the channel by a positive bias. Upon striking the interior surface of the channel walls, these electrons then generate further secondary electrons. The resulting avalanche process produces an easily detectable output pulse of charge containing up to 10e8 electrons with a duration (FWHM) of about 8 nanoseconds.If the electron cloud is collected with an anode, a single pulse is produced that appears on the oscilloscope as shown in Fig. 3. For an input of one primary particle a CEM thus produces an electron cloud of about 100 million electrons. The output pulses can be detected easily by using a discriminator, a preamplifier and a counter or as an input current in the analog mode.

Image freeze of fast moving objects in industrial applications is possible using the HELIO-STROB compact 75.
HELIO-STROB compact 75 is a mobile strobing light source for industrial use. Extremely short flash impulses with constant brightness enable the freezing of images as well as a slowed-down observation mode of fast processes, when a precise perception by the human eye is no longer possible. Even the smallest parts are displayed pin sharp, without any motion blur. Thanks to the intuitive handling via touch panel and an “intelligent” one-button operation you easily get accurate and reliable results.
The HELIO-STROB compact 75 can be effectively used in the field of quality control, vibration analysis and speed measurement as well as for the setting up of your machines. The requested observation point in the course of a movement can easily be set with one single “twist” (the so-called phase-shift). The flash frequency can either be controlled by the accurate internal trigger or by an external trigger. Proximity switches and optical sensors can be connected directly to the signal input of the stroboscope. Additional devices can be synchronously triggered by the TTL-output.More information on ELMED stroboscopes
