Teledyne Imaging FLIR/IIS Grasshopper®3

Teledyne Imaging FLIR/IIS Grasshopper®3: Machine Vision area scan camera

The Grasshopper®3 offers a cost-effective, powerful and easy-to-use alternative to Camera Link and dual GigE LAG solutions. 

The Grasshopper®3 camera line combines the benefits of CCD with the affordability and data throughput of either USB 3.0 or GigE interfaces. This high-performance camera model provides a range of characteristics with either CMOS or CCD sensors.  Its FPGA and frame buffer-based architecture provides optimal reliability, a rich set of features, and a full image processing pipeline including color interpolation, gamma, and lookup table functionality.

Note: USB 3.0 cable (sold separately) is required for operation. Optional power supply (#86-784) available. Software available for download. FLIR was previously known as Point Grey.
