Aptina Advances Global Shutter Technology For High Speed Surveillance, Inspection And Scanning

Aptina, a leading innovator of CMOS imaging technology, today announced the newest additions to the company’s growing portfolio of high performance imaging solutions with its launch of the MT9M031 and MT9M021 image sensors. The sensors integrate Aptina’s smallest, high performance global shutter technology for high speed image capture into a 1/3-inch optical format high definition (HD) device. The 3.75-micron global shutter pixel with exceptional low light performance can stop action without the artifacts typically associated with conventional rolling shutter pixels. The sensors will improve camera performance for a variety of applications within surveillance, machine vision, 2D scanning and high speed image capture where global shutter technology is necessary. The new sensors provide a performance upgrade to current WVGA global shutter sensor designs by providing HD video of up to 720p at 60fps in the most challenging environments.

“With over a decade of research on optimizing and shrinking global shutter pixels we are proud to unveil our latest advances in high performance global shutter technology,” said David Zimpfer, General Manager of Aptina’s Automotive Industrial Business Unit. “By shrinking the global shutter pixel to 3.75-microns we are able to provide high-speed motion capture capability in stunning HD resolution in the standard 1/3-inch optical format.”

The MT9M021 and the MT9M031 provide camera designers with a broad list of benefits to enable exemplary imaging performance in video applications like 2D bar code scanning, point of sales bar code scanning, factory automation inspection equipment, traffic cameras and high speed dome cameras. The sensors’ 1/3-inch optical format, an industry standard, makes it easy to find cost-effective megapixel lens. The new sensors deliver excellent image quality with Aptina’s leading 3.75-micron global shutter pixel performance along with the means to capture 720p/60 video in low light. Additionally, trigger mode and strobe light sync features enable 3D/stereo vision and license plate reading applications.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
