Mini Hawk to MicroHawk cross over on resolution

So the ID-30 has the same connector as the Mini Hawk.  How do you cross them over or spec the MicroHawk for new similar application based upon past experience. Of course, the Mini Hawk has XMode standard but an older version

Micro hawk Resolution

WVGA (752 x 480)
SXGA (1280 x 960)

Other Resolutions of other cameras
WUXGA (2048 x 1088)
QXGA (2048 x 1536)

Mini hawk Resolution

MINI HAWK 3: 2048 by 1536 pixels (QXGA)
MINI HAWK HR: 1280 by 1024 pixels (SXGA)
MINI HAWK HS: 752 by 480 pixels (WVGA)

MicroHawk product line of Microscan bar code readers

Super small and fast with plenty of lighting.  A web based interface allows the settings to remain on the reader.  Contact us for more info

Vision System with SMEMA interface for PCB traceability

Here's an example of a 2 GigE camera system reading a lead frame bar code as well as the individual board bar codes.  We send a build request for the board to the customer's traceability system and then release the board via the conveyor SMEMA interface.  Contact us for more info

eSolutions runner up in lighting application contest with Smart Vision lights

One of 3 runners up in the Smart Vision Lighting contest for 2015.

Sawing Logs in Every Condition – Measuring the Outer Diameter of Logs, submitted by eSolutions
Using an XR256 IR light with an IR band pass filter, a Microscan 5 MP GigE camera, IFM laser measuring sensors, and custom software, this application measures the outer diameter of hardwood logs minus the bark, allowing the user to determine the number of board feet in a log. The system works in all types of weather and lighting conditions.

Show a rotated image in Front Runner

Thanks to Microscan Vision Support for help on doing this!

Step 1

Open Regedit

My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT-USER\Software\Visionscape\FrontRunner

Add Registry key (type REG_SZ) 

AlwaysShowSnapButtons

Data: 1

Step 2

Flip and flip vertical are 0

Grab the angle pointer on the rect warp tool and turn it 180 degrees

Depress the output buffer in the rect warp tool and click to add a flag on warpoutputbuffer

Save the job and reboot your PC – or close vscape and the backplane and restart

It will create an output buffer to select (it will keep this selected on restarts)

This will show the 180 degree image

Log Diameter Measuring Solution

This solution uses a Microscan 5 megapixel GigE camera, laser measuring sensors, and a Smart Vision XR256 IR light.  Using the distance and correlating the average radius, we are able to calculate the actual diameter of the log. They use a Tigercat to present the log to the system.

Timber Measuring Solution

Here is a unique solution using machine vision. We put a Microscan gigE camera and Smart Vision light on the front end of a Tigercat log handling machine.  This machine sorts logs and cuts them to length.  The Tiger cat also tracks board feet by measuring the diameter of the log.

This is a pic of the unprotected camera, laser measuring devices and the IR strobe light.

Labeling Machine Bar Code Checking

This solution gets a trigger signal from the label gap sensor, reads the bar code, and turns on a green light for a match or a buzzer for a wrong bar code and then stop the machine. Contact us for more info
