Teledyne Flir Iis' Area Scan Camera Series Ideal For Embedded Applications

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 24 (Bernama) -- Teledyne FLIR IIS (formerly Point Grey Research), industry pioneer of the area scan Universal Serial Bus (USB) concept, has introduced the new Dragonfly S USB3 camera series to its machine vision portfolio.

The new series is a result of Teledyne’s constant commitment to set and enhance vision industry standards for customer success, according to a statement.

It addresses the market’s essential need for a modular, compact, and lightweight camera for at-scale manufacturing, volume-based applications, and multi-camera systems.

“This is a first-of-its-kind practical option for factory automation and embedded vision-based device manufacturers.

“The modular concept of the new camera empowers engineers to quickly test, develop, and deliver competitive vision products to market at scale,” said its General Manager, Sadiq Panjwani.

Dragonfly S has a modular design to accelerate the inception stage of imaging application development for a diverse range of industrial and non-industrial segments, and is ideal for embedded or handheld device applications such as biometrics kiosk solutions, ophthalmoscopy, 3D scanning, and automated optical inspection, among others.

The camera series is available in multiple configurations, from board-level to a fully-enclosed module in a ruggedised aluminium case, while the USB connector is offered in a rear or side orientation with screw-in locking mechanism.

These modular options provide maximum flexibility and durability, allowing seamless integration in tight spaces, while the cased models are Class B EMC safety compliant as mitigating electromagnetic interference is critical for healthcare and residential applications, along with an onboard image buffer that ensures every captured image frame is reliably transferred to the host central processing unit (CPU).

The first of its series Dragonfly S is now available for pre-order and additional model releases from video graphics array (VGA) to eight megapixel (MP) are planned for this year.
