Microscan ran the first public demonstration of the new HAWK series machine vision camera at The ASSEMBLY Show in Rosemont, Ill. The new development is poised to offer higher levels of speed and power, and will complete the Microscan’s product line for machine vision.
Microscan holds a portfolio for automatic identification and machine vision technology, including hardware design and software solutions to accommodate all user levels and applications. A soon-to-be-released high-performance machine vision camera, HAWK MV-4000 is the “golden mean” in Microscan’s suite of machine vision products. The HAWK MV-4000 fits in the product line between miniature MicroHAWK MV smart cameras and PC-Based Multi GigE Camera systems, meeting the needs of manufacturers and users of equipment looking for rugged, fast and powerful hardware.
