Clearly, when something continues to be done correctly, it becomes more of a standard than an exception. Sony USA, long a leader in the industrial camera world, continues to ‘talk the talk’ with ‘Believe that anything you imagine, you can make real’.  The announcement of the new XCD-MV6 Miniature 1394.b  (XCDMV61346b), Monochrome Digital Video Camera represents the smallest Firewire camera Sony has produced, and one of the smallest progressive scan IEEE1394.b cameras presently available anywhere. Available through Aegis Electronic Group, Inc., this ultra-compact, (1-3/16” x 1-3/16” x ¾”) lightweight, (1.3 ounces) Firewire 1394.b Micro-Camera is ideal for spatially restricted installations.  Combining superb image quality with its miniaturized body, it is perfectly matched for machine vision and robotic applications such as automated optical inspection, wire bonding, bottle inspection, food processing and sorting, and pharma/neutraceutical inspection.
