Board camera operates as standalone system
MAY 13, 2009--The space-efficient VCSBC4012 nano board camera features a CMOS sensor with 5-Mpixel resolution. Camera dimensions are 40 x 65 mm. With both sides of the board populated with components, the VCSBC4012 nano is a redesigned version of the VCSBC4012 single-board camera, which has a 40 x 120-mm footprint. It is a complete machine-vision system on a single board suitable for standalone operation; external PCs are not required.

PRESS RELEASE
World premiere at Hannover Messe 2009
VC debuts the ultracompact vision system VCSBC4012 nano
Ettlingen - At Hannover Messe 2009, Vision Components introduced a new member of the VC BoardCam family: the cost-efficient VCSBC4012 nano, which features a CMOS sensor with a 5 megapixel resolution. With its excep-tionally small dimensions of only 40 x 65 mm, it is almost certainly the smallest vision system in the world. The VCSBC4012 nano is a redesigned version of the small VCSBC4012 single board camera, which has a 40 x 120 mm footprint. By populating both sides of the board with components, Vision Components has managed to develop a Smart Camera which is even smaller than its predeces-sor.
Like all VC products, the VCSBC4012 nano is a complete machine vision sys-tem on a single board which is suitable for stand-alone operation. As a result, external PCs are no longer necessary. Because of its tiny size, the VCSBC4012 nano is ideal for applications where space is at a premium.
Company Background
Vision Components GmbH was founded in 1996 by Michael Engel, inventor of the first intelligent camera for industrial applications.
