BitFlow Supports 3rd Party Software for Developing, Deploying and Maintaining Vision Applications

BitFlow drivers now support the very latest versions of all major vision software packages, resulting in faster application development and lower lifecycle costs.

WOBURN, MA, OCTOBER 8, 2015 -- BitFlow, the world's leading innovator of frame grabbers for machine vision and medical imaging, is helping vision engineers build more robust applications that take full advantage of the graphical capabilities of NI LabVIEW, Cognex Vision Pro, MVTec Halcon and other third party software by maintaining its extensive and current library of software drivers. BitFlow drivers now support the very latest versions of all major vision software packages, resulting in faster application development and lower lifecycle costs.


Optimized for ease of use, fast acquisition, and minimal CPU usage, BitFlow drivers deliver images to third-party applications in real-time. They are also fully compatible with all current BitFlow frame grabber models, including the newest Axion-CL and all the Cyton CXP family. This means that deployments of BitFlow frame grabbers require only a single driver for any given application regardless of which BitFlow frame grabbers are used.

"Our drivers are simple to implement and ensure rapid time to deployment of BitFlow frame grabbers so new customers can begin realizing their benefits with their existing software package in minutes instead of days or weeks," said Donal Waide, Director of Sales and Marketing for BitFlow, Inc. "In addition, the drivers allow BitFlow customers to quickly and non-disruptively upgrade third-party software with zero downtime. For customers with older versions of their software, we offer a compatible package as we have been supporting these 3rd party applications for several years now."

BitFlow drivers have been evaluated to avoid incompatibility and similar performance issues that can impact development time and sourcing complexity. Drivers are available for packages from: A&B Software, Adaptive Vision, AQSENSE, Cognex, Mathworks, Media Cybernetics, MVTec, National Instruments, NorPix, OpenCV, Stemmer and IO Industries.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
