Keely Portway investigates the latest advances in 3D vision equipment, and how they could open up new industrial imaging applications
Automation Technology (1F54) will present its IRSX series of smart infrared cameras, designed for industrial use. Designed as an all-in-one solution, the IRSX cameras combine a calibrated thermal imaging sensor with a powerful data processing unit and a variety of industrial interfaces in a small, rugged IP67 housing. The cameras offer various protocols, including GigE Vision, Modbus TCP, HTTPS and FTP.
