The GigE-compatible, 16-megapixel camera is designed for inspections that require a high-resolution, superior-quality image and a wide field of view. This rugged model will withstand the rigors of manufacturing settings with exceptional resolution and quality. Typical applications include flat-panel LCD and PCB inspections or printing processes where high image quality and a wide field of view are required. Features include: outstanding image quality, with Class 1 CCD sensors; industrial-grade construction and testing; exceptional thermal management and low noise performance, and; precise alignment of a large sensor, with less than .1-millimeter variance.

PPT also announced Version 10.4 of its Impact Software Suite to support the new 16-megapixel camera and the full M-Series embedded vision system today. A new, simpler interface in Version 10.4 makes navigation easy, with faster, more efficient image-saving and image-filtering tools. And, a new calibration mode is now available for user-entered, point-to-point calibration. "We continue to pursue the latest camera technologies and to expand our software to meet the needs of more sophisticated machine vision applications," said Andy Monteith, vice president of business development for PPT Vision. "The 16-megapixel camera responds to a growing demand in high-tech and publishing industries for high-performance inspections, powered by PPT's industry-leading software."
