  • Offer Profile
  • In 2003 the company moved to their current location at 14700 Excelsior Boulevard, Minnetonka (a suburb of Minneapolis) and continues to grow in revenue and personnel. Late 2008 we created a top Class 100 manufacturing facility inside our building and we started to manufacture all our cameras in-house. This guarantees that we can quickly apply any design changes, offer fast and reliable support and design cameras using the latest technology, fast and efficiently

  • OEM and Custom

  • Let us design to your requirements

      • Our tool set is state of the art. We develop with Pro-e™ Wildfire for mechanical design, Protel™ for electrical design and layout and Aldec/Xilinx™ for FPGA development in VHDL. We have developed a substantial intellectual property portfolio in camera technology. Let us apply some to your custom OEM application!
      • Our camera designs are very modular and generally consist of 3 circuit assemblies:
        1. Power Supply and interface.
        2. Timing Generator.
        3. CCD interface.

        Typically, two of the three circuit boards remain unchanged from design to design with only firmware changes required for new features or maybe a new sensor board. Therefore adapting to a new sensor or custom features requires very little development. We do all of our own timing generator design in VHDL and can add modes and features to meet your requirements.
      • And here is an example of what we can do. You need something unique? Let us know.
        Our engineers love a challenge!
