And don't forget: Free trade show tickes are available with the code "inspect-is-visionary".
Laser Components has developed a beam splitter in which the combined beam of a frequency-doubled laser is split in such a way that 50% of the two wavelengths are split off even with different polarizations.
Euresys is promoting the CoaXPress-over-Fiber Bridge protocol. It is also designed to enable the benefits of CoaXPress for applications where traditional copper coaxial cables are reaching their upper limits in terms of speed, total bandwidth, weight and distance.
With immediate effect, Polytec is the exclusive distribution and service partner of the Spanish LED lighting manufacturer DCM. The portfolio of the engineering-driven company includes over 30 lighting series and nine light colors.
With the Ruler 3020, Sick has presented the first 3D streaming camera of the new generation. The highlights of the camera are its high speed and measurement accuracy - the ideal prerequisites for high-speed applications.
Xilinx has introduced the new Versal AI Edge series. It enables rapid AI innovations from the edge to the endpoint. With 4 times the AI performance per watt compared to GPUs and 10 times the computing density compared to adaptive SoCs of the previous generation, the Versal AI Edge series offers a scalable and flexible portfolio for distributed intelligent systems.
Schneider-Kreuznach presents the new, robust Xenon-Jade lens family for 1.2-inch sensors. The five lenses with a luminous intensity of 2.8 and focal lengths of 12/16/25/35/50 mm are suitable for pixel sizes up to 2.4 µm and can therefore be used particularly well in combination with the Sony sensors IMX253, 420/425 and 530/540.
Excelitas Technologies and Qioptiq will present their latest products and system solutions in the fields of inspection lenses and industrial microscopy at Vision 2021 at booth 10-G44.
Teledyne e2v introduces the Topaz series of industrial CMOS sensors with 1.5 and 2 MP resolution. These sensors, in 1920 x 800 and 1920 x 1080 pixel formats, use low-noise global shutter pixel technology to enable high-performance solutions and compact mobile designs for many applications.
The focus of Solectrix' presence at Vision 2021 will be Sinascope, a versatile platform for digital 3D microscopy. Whether as an upgrade kit for analog stereo microscopes or as a stand-alone camera system, Sinascope offers 3D image quality in 4K resolution.
With AltiZ, Matrox Imaging has introduced a 3D laser profile sensor which, through the use of two integrated cameras, ensures maximum precision and minimizes scan gaps.
Framos is adding the D455e variant to its D400e depth camera series. This plug-and-play camera is also based on RealSense technology. At 95 mm, the longest baseline in the product portfolio enables a high level of depth accuracy with large working distances.
The latest autofocus zoom camera from Active Silicon is on the market as part of the Harrier product family. Equipped with a 40x optical zoom, it measures only 101 x 54 x 64 mm (L x W x H).
The latest release of the modular image processing software uniVision has appeared. While an external evaluation unit always had to be used to evaluate 2D / 3D profile recordings, the smart 2D / 3D profile sensors now combine sensor and evaluation unit directly in a compact housing.

With the fully IP65 protected, waterproof and dustproof industrial computers of the Tbox-C series, Taicenn meets the requirements of a typical outdoor industrial application.
With the IPC Eagle-Eyes AIH, Efco has developed a scalable hardware platform for machine vision. Scalable refers not only to the computing power of the CPU or the equipment with interfaces, but above all to the expandability of the housing - for up to two full-size PCI plug-in cards.
The new industrial embedded computers of the DLAP-4000 series are characterized by a PEG slot (PCI Express for Graphics). This is a PCIe x16 slot that offers a higher power supply directly via the slot. PCIe cards in standard slots may consume a maximum of 25 watts, low-profile cards even only 10 watts.
Matrix Vision's mvBlueNAOS uses PCI Express for image transmission. The interface is a standard that is used in all PC systems and in embedded processor platforms. This means that the mvBlueNAOS camera modules can be used regardless of the platform.
