January 21, 2010 - DALSA announced the availability of color processing on the BOA vision system, DALSA’s highly integrated smart camera. Supported with a full suite of vision tools, the new color version of the BOA sets a new cost/performance standard for color enhanced smart camera solutions. The BOA smart camera can be applied to a broad range of color applications, such as identification of parts or assembly features, sorting, counting, and verification of color hue. The color tools can be easily combined with standard measurement or identification tools to perform a complete inspection of the part or assembly.
The easy-to-use, iNspect Express software interface, allows users to rapidly prototype and deploy solutions, and it is available with a fully featured emulator for offline application development and debugging. The ultra small BOA has been specifically designed for industry. Its 44 mm cube form factor is perfect for tight-fit applications. The IP67-rated housing means that the camera can be directly deployed in harsh, wash-down environments. This is particularly useful to meet cleanliness standards in the food and pharmaceutical industries, and eliminates the need for a separate, costly protective enclosure.
BOA’s small form factor and easy mounting capabilities allow it to integrate easily into existing production lines, machinery or moving equipment.
