Cases

  • X-EMA camera finished evaluation tests inside fighter aircrafts
  • Flight tests were performed up to 35’000 feet
  • X-EMA mounted outside aircraft without climatic protection

The X-EMA camera underwent an extensive evaluation period with a world renowned military aircraft manufacturer. The camera was mounted in several positions including in the aircraft body and under the wings exposed to the natural environment.

The camera was set for multiple sequence recording and with each flight 2-4 sequences have been taken. After the last recording was finished the download to the built in CF card (4 GB) started automatically while the aircraft returned to the base. On arrival of the aircraft the data was already stored in the Compact Flash card. The ground staff connected the Giga Ethernet link to the cameras after arrival and streamed the data to disk. For data security the CF card was removed and stored until the data was transferred to the central archive.

Customer Benefit

  • Multi sequence recording, 2-4 sequences with each flight
  • Automatic download to built-in CF card
  • Dual storage in camera’s internal memory and CF card
  • Gigabit Ethernet connection
  • Small size, only 71 x 71 x 138 mm
  • Fast operational procedure with minimum disturbance of test process

AOS Technologies is well known to provide engineering for special turn-key projects. Recently an application with multiple X-MOTION cameras was realized. The purpose was to get a top view at the car to car crash lab. There are three sub-systems, each containing three cameras, a remote controlled lens per camera and one control unit. Every camera is fully remote controllable, feeding back “Armed” and “Triggered” signals and receiving “Remote-Switch-On”, “Set-To-Record” and “Trigger” signals. Image data is transferred by Gigabit Ethernet switches embedded in these three control units. The lenses allow adjusting zoom, focus and aperture remotely from the control room, which is 100 meters away from central camera sub-system. All cameras run in frame synchronisation mode.

Customer Benefit

  • Fail safe system with battery backed up image memory in camera assures data safety
  • Reduced time and costs per test due to central control of cameras, lenses and data acquisition
  • System layout with focus on economical operation
  • Simplified maintenance by use of standard components
  • AOS delivers turn-key system that clearly meets customer targets and expectations

Situation

Bottling lines are running at 30,000 bottles per hour or faster. Deviations or failures are not visible with the human eye, nor can they be recorded with conventional cameras. Without seeing the cause of a malfunction, appropriate corrective action can not be taken.

Critical process stages as well as single components - in this case bottles, caps, labels and cardboard packages - and in the process line itself, are subject to the risk of disturbing the complete process due to small failures and minor discrepancies. Rejects are reaching an unacceptable and costly level.

Process optimization can be difficult; eliminating the cause of malfunctions is pure ‘trial-and-error’. Results are sporadic with shutdowns, increased reject rates, and reduced throughput - cost intensive quality issues.

Suitable high speed camera systems have been used occassionally, but usually such systems have been too expensive, and their operation required special skills.

Solution

A PROMON high speed recording system allows the recording of even the fastest events with up to 1,200 frames per second (fps) and the ability to replay in extreme slow motion. This allows a reliable recording and visualization of high-speed details such as damaged parts, parts outside the specifications or sporadic events which otherwise would not be seen by the human eye or conventional cameras. Analysis of the video sequence makes the formerly invisible visible, and corrective actions can be specified and implemented in short order. The effectivness of these activities can be measured and documented with the high speed camera system.

Customer benefit

Only optimized, stable manufacturing processes are generating profit. AOS PROMON systems is the appropriate tool for your maintenance staff, to monitor your processes at any time. In case of a malfunction the cause can be located in a short time and corrective actions can be taken quickly

Industrial process analysis is one of the core practices for any successful manufacturing concern, especially breweries and packing plants among many others. High Speed Industrial Cameras are mainly designed to capture events in high speed manufacturing, processing, and packaging environments. These super slow motion cameras are usually placed in industrial settings, like breweries that bottle millions of drinks on a daily basis.

The interesting fact here, a high speed industrial camera can stretch one second of video into 10 minutes of playback. Using this ‘slow motion’ data engineers can monitor, analyze, and rectify errors in their industrial processes quickly.

Industrial process control and analysis using commercial cameras is now routine practice, but offers low accuracy & success rates. Ordinary cameras are designed to capture images at a maximum of 60 fps, while industrial processes monitoring requires frame rates of close to 1’000 fps or sometimes beyond.

Airborne high-speed cameras are capable of recording a variety of data during flight tests. This information is provided to you by the manufacturer at no charge. A common application of high speed cameras is incorporating the camera unit into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Adapting the camera shape and function is essential to capture accurate and comprehensive data. When aerospace high-speed cameras are well-suited for use with other testing equipment.

Flexible camera design meets many flight test requirements

During flight tests, a camera with the right type of aircraft should be used. All aspects of the camera need to be suited for gathering data from the complex systems of individual aircraft. Each aircraft and flight test has unique requirements. In some cases, the camera must be able to capture live video to be viewed in real time. The design of the camera may require connectors to be installed in a separate environment. Other requirements could include the use of the camera, the camera, the camera, the camera, the camera and the camera. Extra housing for attaching the camera to the aircraft makes it easier to integrate.

Cameras that are semi-customizable can meet the needs of many different flight testing requirements. Each camera operates similarly, but can perform optimally under the particular environmental conditions. Its aesthetic and practical design makes it possible to fit the camera into its compartments on the aircraft. All of these features are only possible with a high level of flexibility in the design. Interface parts that can be fitted with different connectors. With this approach, the camera is capable of meeting the widest range of requirements for flight tests of different aircraft.

Pre-programmable smart features for automated operation

These cameras can be easily and efficiently operated during a flight test with smart features that allow for automation. Flight engineers can input the image data and operation settings before the test takes place. The camera then takes the images as designated by these settings without the need for manual control. With this ability to take pre-programmed instructions, these cameras allow for accurate and high-quality data collection involving different angles and conditions on any type of aircraft.

Standardizing communication in a network environment

Standards for cameras working in a network provide quality control for downloading and preserving image data. The standards, approved by the IRIG, provide specifications for the camera to communicate to the central control unit where downloaded images are received. Specifically when applied to UAVs, cameras must be able to provide clearly visible live feeds to ground stations and thus have the system infrastructure to support a large data transfers. The images captured by the cameras are large files and their downloads have the potential to interfere with the transfer of other data. Smart algorithms implemented in the camera design allow for optimal image data reception without hindering other aspects of the flight test.

Correlating camera data with other flight test data

The ability to synchronize camera video data with other flight test data is essential for accurate analysis – for example, correlating IRIG-B or GPS signals. The recent standardization of a common data format, IRIG-106, has simplified the exchange of different types of data. This common format allows for flexible use of tools to analyze data and better alignment of measurements from each camera used in the test. Flight engineers can better review and compare data collected, spending less time and resources on conversion.

Aerospace high-speed cameras provide the flexibility, customization and synchronicity needed for capturing accurate and clear in-flight images. Cameras for both manned and UAV applications are a cost-effective way to complete flight tests, as they are designed to meet the requirements of specific aircraft and environments.
