PPT Vision, Inc. has introduced the Impact T22, an intelligent camera designed as a drop-in replacement for obsolete or underpowered vision systems. An extension to the Impact T-series, the T22 is an intelligent camera with the image processing computer contained inside the camera, enabling it to be deployed without additional image processing hardware typically found in older machine vision systems. Recent advancements in intelligent camera technology have made machine vision affordable and robust. With a 12-inch CCD, the Impact T22 is interchangeable with older, camera-based vision systems, enabling manufacturers to upgrade older vision engines to achieve 100 percent real-time inspection while reusing existing optical and lighting components. The Impact T22 is a suitable replacement for both analog and digital systems.
