AI-powered smart camera for industrial automation and inspection
Teledyne DALSA has launched its next generation AI-powered smart camera for industrial automation and inspection.
The BOA3 smart camera combines features from previous BOA generations with sensor and AI (Artificial Intelligence) inspection technologies developed by Teledyne.
BOA3 offers sensor resolutions from 1.2 to 12MP, integrated or C-mount lens options, onboard I/O, and includes easy-to-use machine vision software, all in one common platform. BOA3 smart cameras deliver the flexibility and uncompromised functionality to enable quick, cost-effective embedded machine vision deployments.
BOA3 comes with iNspect, an easy-to-use, no-code inspection development software with tools for positioning, part locating, pattern matching, measuring, barcode reading, feature or defect detection, including automatic reading of characters (OCR) based on a pre-trained AI inference network.
This runs on a quad core processor in the all-aluminium 60 mm x 60 mm x 50 mm enclosure with rugged M12 cable connector interface. It is available with integrated lighting, M4 mounting threads, and Power-over-Ethernet make installation easy.
The AI Classification or Object Detection models are created in Astrocyte, Teledyne DALSA’s GUI-based AI Trainer software and combined with traditional vision tools.
“The new BOA3 is an exciting next step in our smart camera development,” said Szymon Chawarski, Product Line Manager, Vision Systems. “Its modular and flexible architecture will allow us to offer new and powerful solutions for embedded machine vision inspections.”
BOA3 models with 1.2, 5MP, and 12MP monochrome sensors are available immediately. Colour versions are planned for release at the end of 2024. New sensor and lens options will be added to the platform in 2025.
