Basler has seen its production numbers increase threefold since 2009. This period of rapid growth has been accompanied by a massive expansion in manufacturing capacity, test equipment, and know-how. With the extension of the warranty period, the German manufacturer is passing on the benefits of optimisation to its customers. Basler manufactures all of its cameras at the company’s headquarters inAhrensburg,Germany, where production, quality management and R&D work hand in hand.

Every Basler camera is subjected to very specific optical and mechanical tests before leaving the factory. This ensures that, regardless of when they come off the production line, Basler cameras always meet the same quality standards.

Julie Busby, Sales Director at Multipix comments, “Our customers rely on the high quality of Basler cameras. Reliability and repeatability are paramount and Basler produce consistently. Now with the 3-year warranty it continues to shows that Basler stand behind their products and alongside their customers.”

The Machine Vision Experience

Multipix has a proven track record of hosting successful technology days that are informative, fun and free with an emphasis on education. On 21^st June 2012, the next day in a successive series will cover technologies including USB3 Vision, Coaxpress, HDSDI, 10GigeVision, smart sensors and the unique capabilities of HALCON image processing software.

The venue, Twickenham Stadium, is the perfect setting for a technology day that will be attended by world leading manufacturers.  Basler, Datalogic, IO Industries, MVTec and Pleora Technologies will each provide a professional presentation on the diverse aspects of machine vision.  Delegates will finish the day with an exculsive tour of the Twickenham historic site. 

In 2012 Multipix Imaging celebrate 15 years of business and The Machine Vision Experience epitomises their knowledgeable and innovative approach to the UK ‘s vision industry.

OEM’s, System Integrators and End Users are all welcome to register

• NERLITE Smart Series HI-BRITE illuminates small to large areas with LED lighting to provide a high intensity output, featuring IP67 industrial sealing and the brightest LEDs in their class. The compact lights includes the built-in controller for a complete and easily integrated solution for rugged automation environments. Versatile 10° spot and 50° flood lens options allow them to be used at both near and far distances to accommodate a variety of applications.
• NERLITE Smart Series DOAL (Diffuse On-Axis Lighting) illuminators provide diffuse, uniform illumination for flat specular surfaces. With the coaxial lighting approach, specular surfaces perpendicular to the camera appear bright, while surfaces which are marked or embossed absorb light and appear dark. Giving greater uniformity than conventional sources, DOALs increase machine vision accuracy and repeatability.
• NERLITE Smart Series Ring lights are a cost-effective, an easily integrated solution for diffuse illumination of surfaces. With subtle adjustments to working distance and angle of light delivery, ring lights can deliver good image contrast for a minimal investment.

Julie Busby, Business Development Director at Multipix Imaging said, “We are very excited to be able to offer our customers the range of ID readers and Vision Sensors from Datalogic. These products offer a complete range of industrial solutions for automatic identification. Thanks to the use of innovative technology solutions Datalogic are able to identify automatically, accurately and with absolute precision all types of labels, bar codes and 2D codes, applied in any position and orientation”.

Multipix will specialise in the Data Vision Sensors, including the DataVS1 series.  A simple solution for machine vision applications as the setup does not require a PC and is very quick and intuitive thanks to the VSC unit, the external configurator with 3.5″ colour display. The sensor setting is carried-out through;  region of interest definition, control type selection and parameter adjusting. Tools include presence/absence verification, position, object counting and OCV.

The Matrix ID Reader range includes the Matrix 210 2D reader, offering extreme reading performance and integrated Ethernet in a ultra-compact housing. The WVGA image sensor captures up to 60fps to the powerful internal illuminator producing dynamic reading capability.

This great range of products are ideal for many application areas including, Electronic PCB assembly, Medical device traceability, Pharmaceutical manufacturing and packing, Food & Beverage industry, Print and Access Control.

Multipix offers a complete range of industrial vision components for today’s demanding applications and highly experienced support to ensure our customers achieve exceptional results. This includes cameras with latest digital camera interfaces like GigEVision and USB 3.0 which are very affordable and highly supportable; CameraLink and Coaxpress cameras offering very high resolution combined with very high frame rates. There are also cost effective frame grabbers that ensure data integrity to PC memory where image processing libraries are used to create powerful 2D and 3D vision solution. Smart cameras to complex PC solutions, Multipix are here to supply and support.

With ISO9001 accreditation, part of the on going commitment is that the management continually reviews procedures, ensuring development of skills and maintaining standards to achieve operational excellence that benefits both Multipix Imaging and our customers.
