Teledyne Dalsa Launches the GEVA-300 Multi-Camera Industrial Vision System

Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and a global leader in
machine vision technology, today announced a compact, low-cost vision system
for multi-camera applications. Compatible with the full range of Teledyne
DALSA Genie cameras, the GEVA-300 offers an extremely cost-effective and
expandable platform for a multitude of industrial inspection tasks.

The GEVA-300 system offers excellent cost savings for multi-camera vision
applications, such as final inspection of large assemblies. The six high
bandwidth Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) ports are compatible with a wide range of
GigE cameras, which can be mixed to suit the application need, and the fanless
design of the GEVA-300 means it is rugged and reliable enough for harsh
factory applications. Camera expansion is easily accommodated using
commercially available network technologies, allowing large configurations to
be realized with much lower system cost. The GEVA-300 is based on the Intel®
dual-core ATOM™ architecture that offers low power consumption and solid
performance for a wide range of machine vision applications. The vision system
can also be expanded with an optional PL-USB companion module that offers
I/O expansion and easy integration of up to four Teledyne DALSA Genie
cameras.

"Our new GEVA-300 system makes multi-camera machine vision installations
accessible for a wide variety of applications," said Steve Geraghty, Director of
Teledyne DALSA’s Industrial Products. "Supported by Teledyne DALSA’s iNspect
and Sherlock software tools, this cost-effective, integrated solution can address
the vision needs of industries such as automotive, consumer, electronics,
packaging and pharmaceutical."

The GEVA-300 provides a number of external interfaces for system integration.
In addition to the six Gigabit Ethernet ports (four of which are typically used for
connecting cameras), it includes dedicated display and USB ports for setup and
run-time control, and a serial port for factory communication. Camera
triggering, strobe outputs and opto-isolated I/O are interfaced using the
companion PL-USB module. Vision solutions on the GEVA-300 are setup using
Teledyne DALSA's iNspect or Sherlock application software. The iNspect
software is easy to use and requires little or no prior vision experience, while
the Sherlock software offers greater flexibility to tackle more challenging
inspection tasks. Both software packages offer a wide selection of tools and
capabilities for applications requiring positioning, identification, verification,
measurement, and flaw detection.

Key features and benefits include:

Dual Core Atom @ 1.8 GHz for low cost multi-camera deployment
2 GB program memory, 40 GB SSD storage
6 GigE ports with independent PCIe lanes for cameras and networking
3 USB ports, 1 RS-232, VGA display for direct connect display with high
resolution
0-45°C fanless design provides a rugged and reliable platform for factories
42x145x198mm, DIN mount design makes the GEVA-300 easy to mount,
consumes less panel space
I/O support via external PL-USB, makes it easy to integrate with Genie cameras
Win7 Embedded 64-bit O/S with write filter protects drive image when power is
lost
iNspect Express and Sherlock 64-bit software for greater performance and
efficiency
