CELERA series
Silver Winner of the Vision Systems Design 2017 Innovators Award!
Our dual-USB3 camera
CELERA CMOS dual-USB3 cameras provide unrivaled speed, extreme flexibility, and quick system integration. Its double USB3 interface, ultra-fast acquisition rate, extremely reduced dimensions, and rugged design make CELERA cameras suitable for the most demanding applications: automated optical inspection, high-performance sorting systems, industrial metrology, microscopy, medical diagnostics, and machine vision.
CELERA cameras are powered directly by the USB3 bus with no need for external power adapters. USB3 provides the most cost-effective and widespread interface, pushing speed performances to the top level.
Versatile I/O
CELERA provides a versatile I/O interface to control external devices such as strobe lights, encoders, etc. 2 input lines with direct encoder interface, 2 output lines and 1 input/output (RS422, RS644 LVDS, LVTTL). Its multipurpose I/O connector provides user I/O, line/frame triggering, and direct encoder interface.
Powerful on-board image processing
CELERA cameras provide powerful online user-controlled image processing: 8 AOI, independent LUTs, gamma correction, white balance, brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, and hue. Its control sequencing mechanism allows up to 64 different video settings to be applied to a chain of subsequent frames.
Driver and Software
An easy-to-use set of software API is available, which allows developers to quickly produce fast and clean code both on Windows and Linux, supporting all major programming languages, such as Python, C#, VB, and C++ in Visual Studio or QT environment.
Our Software Development Kit provided with CELERA cameras, is fully compatible with Cognex VisionPro, MVTech Halcon, NI LabView, and other major machine vision software for industrial applications.
Accessories
CELERA is equipped as standard with a C-mount lens adapter.

Dual-USB3 interface
Twice the bandwidth with double USB3 interface, supporting the maximum frame rate of both CMV4000 and CMV2000 image sensors.
Tiny rugged design
Small, ultra-lightweight, rugged aluminum machined high precision case allows maximum installation flexibility even in space-constrained environments.
Fast global-shutter CMOS technology
AMS/CMOSIS CMV series and SONY Pregius®* CMOS sensors, featuring a 12-bit A/D converter, allow a framerate of up to 340 fps even at full resolution.
Triple Programmable Look-Up-Tables
Independent LUTs (one for each color) allow easy color thresholding, filtering and calibration for color-critical applications.
Smart Data
Embedded timestamp, trigger counters, encoder position, latched input status and input change detection allow perfect image-to-real-world pairing.
Versatile I/O
With 2 inputs, 2 outputs and 1 I/O, the CELERA series offers unprecedented flexibility for interfacing to outer world signals: direct encoder readout and strobed lightning have never been so easy.
Advanced triggering
With the CELERA series, users can choose from a long list of triggering mechanisms. Acquisition can be driven by high/low logic levels, edges, and encoder position. Furthermore, the frequency of triggering signals can be internally converted to solve even the most challenging problems.
