[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and a global leader in machine vision technology, today announced a compact, low-cost vision system for multi-camera applications. Compatible with the full range of Teledyne DALSA Genie cameras, the GEVA-300 offers an extremely cost-effective and expandable platform for a multitude of industrial inspection tasks.

The GEVA-300 system offers excellent cost savings for multi-camera vision applications, such as final inspection of large assemblies. The six high bandwidth Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) ports are compatible with a wide range of GigE cameras, which can be mixed to suit the application need, and the fanless design of the GEVA-300 means it is rugged and reliable enough for harsh factory applications. Camera expansion is easily accommodated using commercially available network technologies, allowing large configurations to be realized with much lower system cost. The GEVA-300 is based on the Intel® dual-core ATOM™ architecture that offers low power consumption and solid performance for a wide range of machine vision applications. The vision system can also be expanded with an optional PL-USB companion module that offers I/O expansion and easy integration of up to four Teledyne DALSA Genie cameras.

“Our new GEVA-300 system makes multi-camera machine vision installations accessible for a wide variety of applications,” said Steve Geraghty, Director of Teledyne DALSA‘s Industrial Products. “Supported by Teledyne DALSA’s iNspect and Sherlock software tools, this cost-effective, integrated solution can address the vision needs of industries such as automotive, consumer, electronics, packaging and pharmaceutical.”
