Overview
Machine Vision is a field of engineering that encompasses computer science, optics, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation. Industrial
machine vision applications today offer higher productivity, flexibility, reliability, and are capable to perform more complicated inspection tasks.
ADLINK provides a series of PCI Express® (PCIe) products for industrial machine vision applications. The PCIe bus provides high-bandwidth and robust
point-to-point interconnects, and complete software compatibility with the existing base of operating systems, PCI drivers, and software. The PCIe bus also
provides a dedicated link for image data transmission.
A typical computer-based machine vision system includes cameras, a frame grabber card, and the computer system. The camera interface is the transmission
protocol between the camera and computer system. ADLINK provides several types of frame grabber cards, including:
¡ PCIe-CML64/PCIe-CPL64
• Noise Reduction: The minimal low voltage differential swing (LVDS) signal of the Camera Link® specification increases image throughput between
the frame grabber, cable, and camera.
• Support for Line Scan Cameras: Camera Link® offers the absolute camera control, serial communication, and data streaming methods ideal for line
scan applications. Most line scan cameras available today already support Camera Link®.
