Chapter1Introduction
Product Summary
The Vision MINI Xi Smart Camera is designed for reliable vision
performance in embedded identification and inspection applications. As
the world’s smallest fully-integrated vision system, the Vision MINI Xi’s
compact size and wide angle optics provide the best performance
available for machine vision tasks at close range.
The Vision MINI Xi allows OEM design engineers to implement
inspection, color matching, symbol decoding, OCR, and more, in a single
compact solution. The camera’s small form factor allows flexible
positioning in tight spaces. The lightweight and durable magnesium alloy
case weighs less than 2 ounces.
Pressing the AutoVISION button at the back of the Vision MINI Xi enables
real time dynamic autofocus. When an object is centered in the field of view
and the AutoVISION button is pressed, the camera automatically adjusts
focal distance and sets internal parameters to optimize image captures.
AutoVISION software, designed for use with the Vision MINI Xi, provides
an intuitive interface, step-by-step configuration, and a library of presets
that allow easy setup and deployment. For more complex vision
applications,
the system can be upgraded from AutoVISION to Visionscape.
Features and Benefits
•World’s smallest fully functional vision system
•Ethernet communications
•OEM-ready for easy integration
•Integrated lighting and autofocus lens
•Flexible programming options for custom applications
•AutoVISION button for automatic targeting, calibration, and triggering
•Simplified configuration with AutoVISION software
