B-Series CMOS Cameras

Product information "B-Series CMOS Cameras"

0.36-5 MP; Pixel Size 2.2x2.2-6.0x6.0 µm; Sensor Size 1/3”-1/2” Diagonal; Colour or B/W; 3-310 fps; Resolution 8-12 bit; USB 2.0; Buffered; Progressive Scan; Dynamic Range >55-70 dB; Board-level or Enclosed

Mightex’s B-Series USB 2.0 CMOS cameras with frame buffers are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging, where quality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are crucial.

B-Series cameras are available as colour or B/W versions, with resolutions from Wide VGA (WVGA, 752x480) up to 5 MP (2592x1944) and 8, 10 or 12 bit, and they can be ordered as “naked” board-level device or pre-mounted in an enclosure. Monochrome cameras often exhibit a 20% higher spatial resolution than their colour counterparts because no pixel interpolation is necessary. Without a Bayer colour filter on the sensor, monochrome cameras are also more sensitive than colour sensors, especially in near IR and UV regions.

Mightex’s B-Series cameras feature built-in frame buffers, global shutter (Wide VGA versions), external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. The frame rate can be as high as 60 fps in full resolution and up to 600 fps using ROI mode (depending on colour or B/W and sensor resolution).

In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A DirectShow driver and a TWAIN driver are included (except for 5 MP B/W versions), and a USB command set protocol is provided for non-Windows based applications. A Linux driver is also either included (5 MP and Wide VGA B/W versions) or available upon request.

Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.

AutoStrip II Window Stripping Unit
Automated, Mid-span; Window Strip Length 2-150 mm; Fiber Coating Diameter ≤1,000 µm; Fiber Cladding 125-400 µm; Pulling Speed 20-100 mm/min The AutoStrip II is designed for fast, chemical free window stripping of optical fibers. Utilizing SAE Technologies’ patented “Burst Technology™”, this system accomplishes the often difficult task of window stripping fibers with acrylate coating diameters up to 1,000 µm. The AutoStrip II automated, mid-span window stripping unit meets the need for variable window strip lengths at high strength and ultra cleanliness. The proven Burst Technology™ method instantly vaporizes the fiber coating. The result is a clean, stripped fiber at substantially higher strength than any mechanical stripping method. The fiber is free of debris at 400x magnification. Equipped with a built-in, high-force fiber tensile tester, the AutoStrip II system can pull the fiber up to 20 N (235 kpsi). To ensure high quality, repeatability and high production yield, all critical processes and parameters such as stripping distance, burst temperature, burst speed, and strength test are controlled automatically by a built-in microprocessor. The AutoStrip II can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into different sub-systems. The use of chemicals for high-strength fiber stripping is now a thing of the past! Key Features: Chemical-Free (No Cleaning or Stripping Chemicals Required) Easy, Low-maintenance Bench-top Design Fast Cycle Time & High First-pass Yield Accommodates Acrylate Coating Fiber Diameters up to 600 μm (Custom Nozzles up to 1,000 μm) Variable Window Strip Lengths From 2 up to 150 mm Fiber Cladding: 125 to 400 μm Fiber Strength: Typical >35 N on 125 μm Fiber Fiber Cleanliness: Free of Debris at 400x Magnification Built-in High-force Linear Tensile Tester, Tensile Strength: 0 to 20 N Pulling Speed: 20 to 100 mm/min, Hold Time: 0 to 5 s Power Supply: 115 to 230 V AC Compressed Air: External Compressor, 95 psi - 5 SCFM Flow PC Interface: RS232C Software-adjustable Parameters Automated Fiber Clamps Built-in Graphical LCD Control Storage of up to 10 Programs Dimensions: 465 x 315 x 225 mm Application: Automated, Mid-span Window Stripping of Optical Fibers With Acrylate Coating Diameters up to 1,000 µm
