Frame grabbers are specialized hardware devices designed to capture images from high-performance cameras and efficiently transfer them to a computer for processing.
They are essential components in inspection systems, ensuring precise control and synchronization of image acquisition for both line-scan and area-scan applications while providing reliable image transfer with minimal latency and reduced host CPU load.
Key features and benefits:
- Performance Optimization: Frame grabbers deliver high-speed, synchronized image acquisition with reliable data transfer, making them indispensable in demanding machine vision applications.
- Digital I/O Integration: Onboard digital inputs/outputs enable seamless interfacing with other inspection system components, including quadrature encoders, object detectors, and light strobes.
- Real-time Image Processing: The dedicated hardware can process acquired images directly within the data stream, maintaining low system latency while significantly reducing the host CPU workload for inspection applications.
