- XIMEA Puts Power, Compatibility of Industrial PC Inside New CURRERA-R
PRODUCT IS DISCONTINUED - check with SALES for options.
XIMEA’S CURRERA-R offers the highest levels of processing performance, broadest imaging and OS software compatibility, and best online support in the industrial imaging market – all in a rugged IP67 industrial housing.
The CURRERA-R smart camera is based on Intel’s Atom microprocessor and comes with ether embedded Windows or Linux and the customer’s preferred image-processing library in an positive-pressure IP67-grade industrial housing. “The Atom processor already puts CURRERA-R above 90% of the competition, but our next generation of CURRERA camera will add an order of magnitude of processing power at a price that compares favorably with commonly available industrial imaging smart cameras,” adds Vesant Desai, XIMEA Co-founder and Managing Director.
Power, Compatibility, Support
In addition to offering more power than other smart cameras on the market, XIMEA’s industrial cameras all ship with fully tested Windows- and Linux-based application programming interfaces (APIs) for 30 of the most common image processing libraries. The list of XIMEA’s API’s include Cognex VisionPro, MathWorks MATLAB, Matrox MIL, MVTec Halcon, National Instruments LabVIEW, NeuroCheck, OpenCV, Intel IPP, open source libdmtx, open source AForge.NET, open source Integrating Vision Toolkit, Keyetech, RoboRealm, STEMMER IMAGING Common Vision Blox, Tordivel Scorpion, and Voyant Vision, among others
“XIMEA’s commitment to hardware-software compatibility and a new class of plug-and-play machine vision cameras means integrators don’t have to stock or support different camera lines to meet customer requests,” explains Klimkovic, co-CEO of XIMEA. “If a smart camera programmed with one of the 30 image-processing software programs that XIMEA supports goes dark, designers can load the program on a CURRERA-R smart camera, drop it into the application, and be assured that it will work right out of the box. This type of compatibility means that integrators don’t have to stock smart cameras from multiple vendors to make sure their hardware works with a customer’s requested image processing library, spend time tweaking code for reuse, or develop custom APIs themselves. And if an OEM does need additional support, all of XIMEA’s industrial imaging products are fully supported by XIMEA’s engineering staff and online support interface.”
XIMEA CURRERA smart cameras offer resolutions from WVGA to 5 megapixel (MP), Atom processors running at 1.1 or 1.6 GHz, and a pair of MicroSd card slots. All CURRERA cameras are Linux and Windows compatible, including Microsoft’s latest Windows Embedded Standard 7, and come with a variety of I/O, including Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), USB interfaces, VGA, RS232, and eight isolated Digital Inputs and Outputs.
