BitFlow to Demonstrate CoaXPress over Fiber Technology at Automatica 2023 Exhibition

BitFlow will be displaying the Claxon Fiber, along with its full line of multi-channel CoaXpress and Camera Link frame grabbers in Hall B5, Booth 509. In addition, BitFlow will be part of the MVTec Machine Vision Application Tour at Automatica 2023. Tour participants will see firsthand how the Claxon Fiber feeds high-speed images directly into MVTec HALCON software at data rates up to 40 Gb/sec.

WOBURN, MA, JUNE 12, 2023 -- BitFlow today announced it will be presenting at this month's Automatica 2023 exhibition in Munich, Germany, where the company will demonstrate its CoaXPress over Fiber (CoF) interface technology between the new BitFlow Claxon Fiber frame grabber and CoF machine vision cameras from Optronis, IO Industries, and other leading manufacturers.


Scheduled for June 27-30, and running in parallel with the Laser World of Photonics tradeshow, Automatica is the leading exhibition for smart automation and robotics. BitFlow will be displaying the Claxon Fiber, along with its full line of multi-channel CoaXpress and Camera Link frame grabbers in Hall B5, Booth 509. In addition, BitFlow will be part of the MVTec Machine Vision Application Tour at Automatica 2023. Tour participants will see firsthand how the Claxon Fiber feeds high-speed images directly into MVTec HALCON software at data rates up to 40 Gb/sec.

Claxon FIber Framer Grabber
The BitFlow Claxon Fiber is a PCIe Gen3 x8 CXPoF board configured with a single port for QSFP+ hot-swappable, parallel fiber-optical/copper transceiver modules. Equipping the Claxon Fiber with a QSFP+ module provides the flexibility of running multi-mode fiber cable up to 150 meters (492 feet) between cameras and the PC, or running single-mode fiber cables a maximum of 40 kilometers (24 miles). Complex, expensive repeaters are not needed in long-distance fiber optic installations, as they are when using copper cables, therefore driving down overall system costs while removing multiple potential points of failure.

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.
