DALSA: Multi-Camera Vision Appliance

The VA40 provides multiple camera inputs that allow you to inspect different views of the same part, or even different parts, simultaneously.

This integrated functionality provides a cost-effective and less complex solution than comparable smart camera implementations. In addition, the unit is compatible with different cameras types that afford you flexibility in design and upgrade options as your application needs change.

Interfacing the VA40 is easy. The unit is fully equipped with industrial grade Inputs and Outputs that are broken out to removable screw terminal connectors or opto-isolation modules. Serial communication options include RS-232, USB and Ethernet for connecting into the factory network. All physical connections are located on the VA40 rear panel, with status lights available on the front.

Application setup software is preinstalled and ready to run, thus eliminating installation and revision control problems. The VA40 offers two distinct software interfaces, called iNspect and Sherlock. iNspect provides application versatility and ease-of-use, allowing you to setup and deploy a vision solution in a matter of minutes. For more complex tasks, Sherlock provides even greater flexibility and control, giving you the tools and capabilities at your fingertips to apply to almost any application. An additional benefit of the VA40 is that it supports 3rd party software. This enables you to use the VA40 to control other devices associated with the application.

Flexibility, performance, multiple cameras... with the VA40 vision appliance, integrating machine vision just got a whole lot easier!
