Phoenix Imaging has adopted a new logo design for the
automation products company. The new logo is brighter in color and more
compact. The three colors of the new design represent components, systems
and service branches of the company. This is a third generation logo for Phoenix
Imaging since the company started in 1985.

CTS™ Product from Datalogic (PPT-Vision)
Just released the long awaited Custom Tailored Solutions
from Datalogic allow the time proven PPT-Vision software to function on Phoenix
Imaging's Industrial Grade Image Processors. This product offers all of
the benefits of the PPT-Vision software with Open Architecture of the IVS-80 /
PVS-80 Image Processing Systems. Now Phoenix Imaging can provide turnkey
machine vision applications to customers that want to continue projects with the
VPM / CPM development environment.
Datalogic (PPT-Vision) MX-20 Machine Vision System
This is the most image processing power for the dollar
that you can find anywhere! Unlike simple smart camera technology that
cost twice as much when adding a second sensor, the MX-20 can add the second
sensor for the price of CCD camera and cable. The system has the ability
to capture, display and store images all in the same box. No need for a
laptop or second computer for the development, running, interaction, storage or
display of inspection images and data, it can all be handled by the MX-20 Image
Processor!
Since the MX-20 Machine Vision System has more memory and
a large central processing unit (CPU) it can analyze images faster! The
system offer a considerable image processing library with functionality that
most machine vision system can only dream about. Don be fooled by it
compact size this is a powerful machine vision system capable of correlation of
information between two sensor because that are in the same box! If you
plan to use one or two sensors in your machine vision project this system is
worthy of investigation. Call or email Phoenix Imaging for details.
- Phoenix Imaging receives US Patent for
"Advanced Surface Inspection
Technology for the Detection of
Porosity and Surface Imperfections on
Machined Metal Surfaces".
Phoenix Imaging has been issued US Patent 7,394,530 B2
for detection of worn and broken tools in CNC Machining
Centers. The technology implements a unique illumination technique that
reduces the effects of surface texture created by the machining process but
enhances the surface abnormalities. This technology is extremely useful in the
detection of porosity that is often found on machined aluminum components.
The technology allows the customer to assign multiple
inspection zones on a surface and apply a separate inspection criteria to each
of them. The inspection zones are aligned to each new component using
manufacturing datum. In addition the technology allows the customer to measure
the dimensions of key feature and measure the position of the features with
respect to the datum. Phoenix Imaging refers to this new technology as VCMM or
“Virtual Coordinate Measurement Machine”.
To determine if this new technology is applicable to your
process or application contact Phoenix Imaging sales or a local representative.
For more information on this unique inspection equipment see "Porosity
Inspection".

- PHOENIX IMAGING
Releases Phoenix Imaging's CNC-TSA,
"Broken Tool
Detection System" (BTDS) for CNC Machining Centers.
- The latest Phoenix Machine Vision Sensor is designed specifically
for the high volume automatic-load CNC Machining
Centers that need to protect production against the use of damaged machine
tools.
-
- The technology has received Patent Protection (US
Patent #7,266,420) for the automatic machine vision inspection of machine
tool profiles. The system identifies broken and damaged machine tools
by comparing tool characteristics to that of an acceptable tool that is
stored in computer memory. The system will even detect the improper
position of a tool in a holder. The most advanced tool inspection
technology available today. Now offering special licensing
arrangements to add this technology to your existing CNC machining centers.
Call to see if we have the details for your specific application
requirements.
