May 2004 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

A new generation of high-speed cameras is offering significant improvements in speed, resolution, image quality and affordability. Westplex has recently become the South African distributor of two new high-speed camera manufacturers.

Fastec

Recently founded by two leading experts in the field of high-speed cameras for motion analysis, Fastec designs and builds cameras that deliver powerful performance in portable packages at affordable prices. The TroubleShooter high-speed digital video cameras are suitable for factory manufacturing and maintenance operations, academic and industrial researchers and sports trainers who need to see, measure and understand high-speed processes and events.

The TroubleShooter (bottom) is a standalone handheld VGA resolution (640x480 pixels) camera capable of speeds up to 1000 frames/sec with a USB computer interface, that offers power, performance and affordability that is said to be unmatched presently - by any other product in the world.

Fastec also offers ruggedised surveillance cameras that are specifically designed for harsh environments, multispectral cameras for agricultural imaging applications and microscope cameras designed to fit tight budgets.

AOS Technologies

AOS Technologies is a Swiss company that manufactures ruggedised high-speed cameras for motion analysis that are particularly suited for impact testing, airbag testing, ordinance testing, etc.

The VITcam (above), Motioneer and Privo cameras feature compactness, high shock resistance (100 g), high resolution (1280 x 1024 pixels), high speeds (up to 30 000 frames/second), fire-wire connectivity and standalone operation with an internal battery.
