Request InfoXIMEA GmbHXimea GmbH has announced USB3 camera models with the Sony IMX253 and IMX 255 sensors, providing 12.4 MP at 31 fps and 8.9 MP at 43 fps, respectively. All models from the IMX family feature global shutter and are able to supply 8-, 10- or 12-bit high-quality pictures with dynamic range >70 dB, low noise, high light sensitivity and high color reproduction, at a speed much higher than Sony CCD equivalents. Ximea provides an extra-small form factor housing, measuring only 26 × 26 × 33 mm and weighing 38 g.

Enter Class 1 laser products — lasers that are so safe that the user doesn’t require specific laser safety training or protective eyewear. Some precautions still exist, though.When purchasing an industrial laser system, the astute buyer will look for a Class 1 laser product — a system where the laser beam hazard is completely enclosed and there is no potential laser...Photonics HandbookIndustrial Lasers: An Introduction to Process Qualification: The step from successfully demonstrating a new laser process on a limited number of samples under laboratory conditions, to scaling that process up for high-volume industrial use is a big one. In particular, it’s necessary to determine how variations in process parameters affect end results, so that acceptable process input and operating ranges can be determined.Materials processing with lasers is actually a broad term for a diverse range of applications. The major categories of these uses, and the lasers that service them, are summarized Table 1.
