IMAGO Technologies GmbH Product
IMAGO Technologies develops and manufactures VisionBoxes, an image processing hardware for the analysis of camera images and communication with the machine. We have focused on the perfect connection of the cameras, image processing periphery and machine control to the VisionBox/Cam; Long-term availability of over 10 years through carefully chosen components; Real-time capability from the subcomponent under Windows up to the Real-Time OS; Extensive engineering support during the layout of the VisionBox/VisionCam and Macro systems which combine our hardware with individual middleware, including e.g. Halcon Embedded.

Usually, vision sensors are used to realize all those applications in a series for which the functionality of the underlying intelligent camera is sufficient.
With the VisionCam XM, IMAGO is setting a new performance mark: Following the trend in the processor market, a Linux OS on two ARM Cortex-A15 cores is running on these VisionCams. CPU-intensive operations can be outsourced to two DSP cores with a floating-point unit. Matrix sensors in the XM go up to 5 megapixels and the line sensors in the LM are up to 8k wide. For the communication, the connection is perfect: Besides GigE, the integration into a real-time Ethernet (fieldbus) is possible. Digital in-/outputs are of course still integrated. The VisionCam LM communicates with encoders via RS-422. Optionally, an integrated LED ring light provides the right lighting in the VisionCam XM, and always on board is the LED controller for up to 2 A.
