iCube - USB2.0 cameras with CMOS sensor technology
With its iCube camera family NET has developed
a small, compact camera with a USB2.0 interface, which is extremely competitive
due to its technical features and its ability to operate in many different areas
of application.
The iCube series consists of 4
monochrome and 6 color cameras in two versions, either complete with housing or
as a camera module, for installation in machines and industrial facilities.
CMOS image sensors with resolutions ranging from WVGA (0.36 MP) up to QSXGA (5MP) provide an effective “plug & play” solution and
frame rates of up to 86fps. Additional features are free scalable ROI (Region
of Interest), Binning or the Sub-Sampling mode.
Further technical features such as the Trigger and
Strobe functions, together with an attractive price structure combined with
CMOS technology to ensure the best possible picture quality, make the iCube family a reliable and indispensable alternative for use in fast processes where
it is necessary to capture a great number of images.
The familiar
advantages of a USB interface, such as less power consumption, a fast
connection and a power supply via the USB ports, make the USB2.0 cameras a “universal” plug & play camera for laptops, PCs and
also for OEM modular systems.
iControl, the integrated viewer software, enables the quick installation of,
access to and operation of all iCube cameras. Camera settings can
be very easily adjusted with iControl.
The iControl is part of the SDK software
(software development kit) and is included in the package. NET’s SDK package
makes integration into existing and customized applications easy. The software allows
easy integration into many commercial systems.
The integration of iCube USB cameras is also
supported by a broad range of general functions and enables simple operation of
the camera. The iCube family is compatible to Cognex VisionPro software and to
common software libraries with Direct-X/ Direct- Show interface.
iCube cameras can
be found in many different extremely demanding image processing procedures.
Thus, iCube cameras, in both the housed
and camera module (OEM) versions, are very convincing in the areas of quality
control, inspection, positioning and alignment, edge and contour analysis, OCR
and document management applications.
