Allied Vision has extended its Prosilica GT Large Format camera family with a new lens mount option. The new Electro-Focus (EF) lens control provides a ruggedized all in one EF-lens control solution. The new mount offers simplified lens control via GenICam feature access, negating the need for any serial commands.
Equipped with an EF lens, the Prosilica GT Large Format can automatically focus sequentially on subjects in different distances. Therefore, the camera can be used in applications like logistic processes, such as the scanning and tracking of boxes of different sizes on a conveyor belt. The focus changes relative to its current position, towards infinity or away from infinity. In addition to the changing focus, the aperture and focus control serves to adjust the lens aperture when light conditions are changing.
