On October 17, 2018, Allied Vision announced that its new CoaXPress camera series had won the Editor’s Choice award from Control Engineering China Magazine in the machine vision category. The recognition highlights the company’s innovation and expertise in high-performance imaging solutions.

The Bonito PRO high-speed camera series received this prestigious award during the Global Automation and Manufacturing Summit (GAMS) China, held on September 20, 2018, in Shanghai. This event gathered over 300 industry professionals at the sixth iteration of GAMS China, organized by Control Engineering China – a leading publication for automation and process control.

Key Features: High Resolution with High Frame Rates

Launched in spring 2018, the Bonito PRO series combines high-resolution sensors from ON Semiconductors (available in 12 Megapixel and 26 Megapixel options) with CoaXPress technology. This camera delivers remarkable performance:

  • At full resolution, it supports up to 142 frames per second for the lower sensor option.
  • The higher-resolution model achieves approximately 79 frames per second.

These high frame rates are enabled by four CXP-6 connections capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 25 Gigabits per second. This innovation allows system integrators to perform complex inspections without sacrificing resolution or speed – a significant advancement in machine vision applications.

Industry Recognition

“We are honored to receive this award that acknowledges the performance and innovation behind our Bonito PRO cameras,” said Chris Zou, Senior Marketing Manager at Allied Vision’s Shanghai office. “This recognition underscores our broader capabilities in advanced imaging solutions for demanding industrial applications.”
