Nice Order! DALSA's digital camera technology captures Europe's interest - Leading Canadian digital imaging company's high-speed camera continues to win business - Toronto Stock Exchange Symbol: DSA www.dalsa.com WATERLOO, ON, June 23 /CNW/ - DALSA (TSE: DSA), a leading provider of digital imaging solutions, today announced that it has signed a contract to supply CDN$2,000,000 of its PIRANHA cameras to a European leader in printed circuit board instruments. "I am very pleased to see that our digital camera technology continues to be recognized as a standard in the industry," said Dr. Savvas Chamberlain, DALSA's Chief Executive Officer. "This large sale of PIRANHA camera products not only confirms DALSA's position as the supplier-of-choice for high performance line scan cameras but also demonstrates the on-going success we are achieving in one of our target markets -- the electronics automation industry." DALSA's PIRANHA family of line scan electronic digital cameras offer its customers high speed and superior image quality even at low light illumination levels. Targeted applications include pick and place automated electronic assembly machines, integrated circuit lead inspection machines and semiconductor wafer alignment systems. These industrial applications are characterized by fast-moving objects which are poorly illuminated. Electronics inspection is a demanding application where DALSA's high performance line of products differentiates itself from the competition and allows customers to offer real system performance advantages in their own market space. The PIRANHA camera captures faults on printed circuit boards as they move along a high-speed conveyor belt. At such speeds, to find a flaw in a circuit board is equivalent to finding a needle in a fast-moving haystack. With 100 MHz effective video output rate, the PIRANHA product family continues to be the world leader in high-speed image capture for machine vision applications. This opportunity for DALSA customers to use DALSA's products to add value for their end users is key to many of the Company's successful Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) placements.
