    Entry-Level Machine Vision has Never Been More Powerful ... or More Flexible.

    Scout 1 from PPT VISION raises the bar on machine vision power and versatility, while lowering the cost of entry into automated, high-speed inspection. Scout I is a complete, one camera system that offers many of the powerful features found in high-end PPT VISION systems in use at major manufacturing facilities worldwide. Now you can easily bring this power to your factory floor at a cost comparable to low end products offering far fewer capabilities. And, it can be easily upgraded to a 2 or 4 camera system in the future.

    A Complete, Full-Featured Vision System, Scaled to Your Needs.

    Scout 1 has many features that distinguish it from similarly priced low-end products. It's the only system available that offers VPM- (Vision Program Manager), the world's first totally graphical, icon-based machine vision interface. VPM software cuts programming time by weeks, replacing thousands of lines of code with an extensive set of graphical programming tools that are simply " dragged-and- dropped" into a flowchart representing the actual inspection process. The underlying algorithms within these icons are the same powerful and refined technology used in PPT VISION's high-end machine vision systems.

    With full 640 x 480 resolution and image capture rates as high as 1,800 parts per minute, Sout 1 is more accurate and many times faster than other systems. And, if you need more speed in the future, it can be outfitted with a high speed camera to achieve speeds over 10,000 ppm.

    A Proven, Packaged Solution from an Industry Leader.

    Scout 1 is more than just a smart camera, it's a complete inspection system powered by its own integrated PC and VO board. With the included 15" SVGA monitor, Scout I provides real-time display of your inspection process. No external PC or roll up programming devices are required.

    Also included is a camera and lighting system from PPT VISION that is designed to perform with your Scout I system. An optional support package provides expert training and application engineering assistance to help you set up the camera and lighting, complete your VPM program and provide follow-up telephone support.

    Over the past 17 years, no one has delivered more technological advances to machine vision than PPT VISION. That's why we've developed flexible and affordable machine vision systems designed for entry-level applications that can be easily expanded as needed. Systems that share the technological sophistication of high-end systems. Systems that are complete. Systems that are so refined, they're vastly easier to apply and operate.
