VIC-Snap APP and calibration gimbal

VIC-Snap APP and tar­get fixtures:
The cal­i­bra­tion pro­ce­dure of VIC can be done eas­i­ly done mov­ing the tar­gets man­u­al­ly. How­ev­er for small field of view where man­u­al posi­tion­ing of the tar­gets and the influ­ence of motion blur­ring becomes dif­fi­cult we offer the BCTF 50 and now new the VIC cal­i­bra­tion gimbal.

The VIC cal­i­bra­tion gim­bal for auto­mat­ed cal­i­bra­tion of VIC-3D sys­tems via USB & VIC-Snap or Wifi & VIC-Snap App, which espe­cial­ly is use­ful for non reach­able areas such as cli­mat­ic chambers

Blue-X-Lite (LED light source)

The Blue-X-Lite is a entry-level professional flicker free lighting solution for DIC. Short wave length, small bandwidth, pulse mode, focusable.

  • The Blue-X-Lite can be used in con­tin­u­ous wave mode (CW) or in pulsed mode (Pulse) with 20 W. Due to its fast rise times < 100 ns in com­bi­na­tion with spe­cial trig­ger unit it is also suit­able for syn­chro­niza­tion with DIC sys­tems with stro­bo­scop­ic illumination.
  • Light inten­si­ty can be con­trolled step­less up to  60% light inten­si­ty for con­tin­u­ous wave mode (CW) and 100% light inten­si­ty for pulse mode (Pulse).
  • Frame rates: Two ver­sions are avail­able with trig­ger fre­quen­cy up to 1,000 Hz or 10,000 Hz.
  • The Blue-X-Lite can be eas­i­ly attached direct­ly to the stereo bar by flex­i­ble arms for indi­vid­ual adjust­ment of the light direction.
    The fan­less design offers the advan­tage of no vibra­tions trans­mit­ted to the stereo bar.
  • Mount­ing: 1/4″, 3/8” and M6 threads for tri­pod or flex­i­ble mount­ing arms (bot­tom). M4 threads (front) for mount­ing to VIC-Pro­fes­sion­al fine adjust­ment cam­era mounts.

Speckle Pattern Application Kit

The Speckle Pattern Application Kit for the easy and fast production of a perfect speckle pattern for your DIC application!

The cor­re­lat­ed solu­tions speck­le com­po­nents pro­vide the pro­duc­tion of ide­al speck­le pat­tern which is impor­tant for good sig­na­tures through­out the area of inter­est so that con­sis­tent sized sub­sets may be tracked with certainty

 

 

Characteristics and advantages:

  • High con­trast, quick prepa­ra­tion
  • Pre­ci­sion: Opti­mised and con­sis­tent dot sizes
  • 50 % cov­er­age: equal amount of black and white
  • Ran­dom: Per­fect mix­ture between irreg­u­lar and reg­u­lar pattern
  • Result: improved high­er spa­tial res­o­lu­tion due to opti­mised sub­set size and high­ly reduced noise

 

Why a good speck­le pat­ter is required?

In DIC, a mesh of small sub­sets of the image are tracked as the spec­i­men moves and deforms. To per­form this track­ing, the sub­sets are shift­ed until the pat­tern in the deformed image match­es the ref­er­ence image as close­ly as pos­si­ble; this match is cal­cu­lat­ed by the total dif­fer­ence in grey lev­els at each point. A good pat­tern will allow the cor­re­la­tion to be made with high con­fi­dence and pro­duce low noise. The exam­ple below shows the uncer­tain­ty for the out of plane mea­sure­ment data in Z‑direction with dif­fer­ent speck­le patterns.

 

 

In order to pro­vide con­sis­tent speck­le pat­terns for var­i­ous sam­ple sizes and mate­ri­als, the speck­le kit includes:

 

Stamp Rollers (6 sizes):

  • 0,18mm dot size for 53 – 145mm FOV*

Polarization filter for HEDLER LED

NEW! The new isi-sys polarization filter for HEDLER LED

The major rea­son for apply­ing light form­ing equip­ment in DIC is to avoid direct reflec­tions. The HEDLER Pro­filux LEDs can be equipped with dif­fer­ent light form­ing acces­sories such as usu­al­ly applied in con­ven­tion­al pho­to stu­dios. Some of them are also suit­able for DIC. isi-sys can rec­om­mend suit­able acces­sories for your application.

How­ev­er the first basic rec­om­men­da­tion is to set up the light source inde­pen­dent­ly from the DIC sys­tem to adjust a suit­able illu­mi­na­tion direc­tion. In a num­ber of appli­ca­tions this is suf­fi­cient and these acces­sories can be avoid­ed, which is of advan­tage, because their appli­ca­tion is com­bined with light losses.

A high­ly rec­om­mend­ed item is the new isi-sys polar­iza­tion fil­ter espe­cial­ly devel­oped for the high pow­er Hedler LED 1000, which helps to work on strong­ly curved and shiny – even wet – sur­faces, when com­bined with suit­able polar­i­sa­tion fil­ters on the DIC stereo system

HEDLER LED light sources

isi-sys offers var­i­ous light sources from Hedler, in par­tic­u­lar the fol­low­ing prod­ucts, for which we also offer a polar­iza­tion fil­ter spe­cial­ly devel­oped by us (read more»):

 

LED 1000

Focus­able white LED light source with 185W, con­tin­u­ous wave

 

 

The HEDLER Pro­filux LED1000 is a new devel­oped con­tin­u­ous light unit which gen­er­ates with one high pow­er sin­gle LED day­light qual­i­ty with approx. 5600K and a CRI > 90 – flick­er-free! It has an extreme­ly qui­et fan cool­ing and a spe­cial, active LED cool­ing; the LED has an aver­age life­time of approx. 50000 hours.

It comes with:

  • Fres­nel lens
  • 185 Watts high pow­er sin­gle cell LED
  • Inte­grat­ed Elec­tron­ic Ballast
  • U‑bracket with 5/8″ quick-lock light stand attach­ment and fric­tion brake plus the HEDLER Quick­Fit adapter for com­fort­able and fast inter­chang­ing of reflectors.

 

 

LED 650

70° expand­ed white LED light source with 75W con­tin­u­ous wave

 

 

LED 1000x

75°expanded white light source with 185W con­tin­u­ous wave

 

Note: The LED 650 and 1000x are only rec­om­mend­ed for large FOV >1m appli­ca­tions at short object dis­tances for cost rea­sons. Oper­a­tion with sep­a­rate light stand or tri­pod rec­om­mend­ed, as with­out focus­ing such as for LED 1000.

Blue-X-Focus — LED light source

The new LED light source with 80W up to 120Hz and 1μs flash period

The Blue-X-Focus is a powerful LED light source, especially designed by isi-sys for digital image correlation:

  • The short, sin­gle wave length (blue) improves the opti­cal trans­fer func­tion prop­er­ties espe­cial­ly a) at the image board­ers for con­ven­tion­al lens­es and b) for high res­o­lu­tion, small FOV set-ups such as the Micro 3D stereo sensor.
  • The pulse mode reduces motion blur and max­i­mizes light pow­er at low­est pos­si­ble heat­ing of the object surface
  • Large beam expan­sion range from 3,2° to 60° for small to large field of view. Oper­a­tion through small windows
  • A polar­iza­tion-fil­ter (option­al) is sup­press­ing direct reflec­tions in com­bi­na­tion with a sec­ond pair for the sensors
  • The short wave­length can be used in com­bi­na­tion with band­pass fil­ters for mea­sur­ing on hot samples

Further details:

  • Pow­er: Stan­dard oper­a­tion with 80W in con­tin­u­ous mode or 120W for pulse mode depend­ing on duty cycle. Exam­ple for 0,7 duty cycle: 105W @ 240Hz and 2,9ms flash peri­od. Pow­er adjustable man­u­al­ly or exter­nal by pulse length and fre­quen­cy as well as auto­mat­i­cal­ly lim­it­ed depend­ing on temperature.
  • The focus­ing adapter for stan­dard DIC is from 5° to 60° expan­sion. The ver­sion for small FOV is adjustable from 3,2° to 4,7° expan­sion cor­re­spond­ing to e. g. 5mm x 3mm at 53mm WD or 300mm x 140mm at 1800mm WD (work­ing distance)
  • Mount­ing is pos­si­ble hor­i­zon­tal or ver­ti­cal via M6 or ¼” threads
  • The cool­ing air stream is direct­ed from the front inlet to the back­side to avoid hot air waves in the images.Power: Stan­dard oper­a­tion with 80W in con­tin­u­ous mode or 120W for pulse mode depend­ing on duty cycle. Exam­ple for 0,7 duty cycle: 105W @ 240Hz and 2,9ms flash period.

Application example for DIC on small FOV (magnification 1:1 approx. 14x10mm @ 12Mpx, Rodagon 135mm)

DAQ Devices

The isi-sys DAQ devices are set up for oper­a­tion with the Vic soft­ware for Dig­i­tal Image Cor­re­la­tion (DIC) by Cor­re­lat­ed Solu­tions and func­tion as inte­gral part of isi-sys turn-key DIC sys­tems. They main­ly serve for trig­ger­ing the cam­eras (hard­ware trig­ger) and simul­ta­ne­ous­ly record­ing ana­log data as well as for deliv­er­ing ana­logue real-time out­put gen­er­at­ed by the Vic-Gauge software.

There are three DAQ types with dif­fer­ent per­for­mance and fea­tures (and pricing):

 

DAQ-STD-8D

Only the DAQ-STD- 8D Syn­chro­niza­tion- / Trig­ger Device can be used for syn­chro­niza­tion of the cam­eras via a peri­od­ic sig­nal (sup­port­ed by the Ful­crum Mod­ule of Vic-Snap or the isi-sys syn­chro­ni­sa­tion soft­ware mod­ule / isi-Studio

 

 

 

 

 

DAQ-T8D-16

 

Isi-sys also offers a 16-bit device — the DAQ-T8D-16. Both devices have +/-10V out­put channels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DIC-DAQ-Box-klein
The DAQ-T4D-12 is a 12bit device with 5V ana­log output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Camera Trigger & Power supply

Hard­ware trig­ger­ing and the pow­er sup­ply for the cam­eras are trans­mit­ted via the 12-pin Hirose con­nec­tors on the DAQ device. Two of these con­nec­tors are avail­able for con­nect­ing up to two cam­eras. Isi-sys also offers Y‑cables for oper­at­ing 4 cam­eras (two stereo sys­tems) or more. It is also pos­si­ble to oper­ate more than two cam­eras with one DAQ device. We will be hap­py to advise you.

 

Computer Connection 

Con­nec­tion to a com­put­er is done by USB cable (type A <-> type B connector).

 

Analog inputs

isi-sys DAQ devices are avail­able with either dif­fer­en­tial or non-dif­fer­en­tial ana­log inputs. The ana­log input con­nec­tors are BNC type, the range is +/-10V.

 

Further IO connectors

Besides ana­log inputs, all isi-sys DAQ devices can also be equipped with ana­log out­puts (BNC type con­nec­tor), which dif­fer in volt­age range depend­ing on DAQ type. Dig­i­tal IO con­nec­tors (BNC type) are avail­able as well.
