Teledyne DALSA has recently introduced its latest innovation in the field of industrial automation and inspection - the BOA3 smart camera. This cutting-edge device integrates advanced sensor technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) inspection capabilities developed by Teledyne, building upon the success of previous BOA generations.
The BOA3 smart camera is designed to offer a wide range of features to meet the diverse needs of industrial applications. With sensor resolutions ranging from 1.2 to 12MP, integrated or C-mount lens options, onboard I/O, and user-friendly machine vision software, the BOA3 provides a comprehensive solution in a single platform. This versatility enables quick and cost-effective embedded machine vision deployments, making it a valuable asset for various industries.
One of the standout features of the BOA3 is its iNspect software, which simplifies the inspection development process with its intuitive interface and no-code tools. From positioning and part locating to pattern matching and barcode reading, iNspect covers a wide range of inspection tasks. Additionally, the software supports automatic character reading (OCR) based on a pre-trained AI inference network, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of inspections.
Equipped with a quad-core processor and housed in a durable all-aluminum enclosure, the BOA3 smart camera is built to withstand industrial environments. The compact 60 mm x 60 mm x 50 mm design, along with features like integrated lighting, M4 mounting threads, and Power-over-Ethernet support, ensures easy installation and seamless integration into existing systems.
According to Szymon Chawarski, Product Line Manager for Vision Systems at Teledyne DALSA, "The new BOA3 represents a significant advancement in our smart camera technology. Its modular and flexible architecture opens up possibilities for innovative solutions in embedded machine vision inspections, empowering industries to achieve new levels of efficiency and precision."
