Thank you very much for your interest in our VisionBox AGE-X. To get the most out of your pur-
chase, please take some time to read all the information given here thoroughly.
This VisionBox is optimized for cameras using the GigE Vision or Camera Link interface. For multi-
camera systems, not only several camera ports but also several integrated LED Controllers and
digital I/Os allow a compact setup without additional electronics. If you need more connectivity
or a specific PCIe board, please take a look at the other VisionBox alternatives.
The integrated Real-Time Communication Controller ensures proper timing between all devices,
even when using Windows or Linux operating systems. To avoid complex cabling, the cameras can
be connected with standard Ethernet cables. A single cable provides trigger, image data and pow-
er for each GigE camera.
Due to its small size, powered by 24V and without fan, the AGE-X can be mounted into nearly
DC
every machine, also as IP65 version for OEM quantities.
All components are available for several years, to provide continuous delivery without changes.
The AGE-X-SDK can be used in C++ and .NET as well as with some third-party machine vision li-
braries for easy integration into your products and projects.
For series production, IMAGO delivers the AGE-X ready-to-run, including customer-specific SSD
rd
image, qualified 3 -party components and acceptance test.
