Description
The PCIe-NX156U3 from Neousys Technology is an intelligent 6-port USB 3.2 frame grabber card powered by NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin NX designed to enable AI capabilities for modern vision inspections. It delivers 100 INT8 TOPS AI performance via its 1024 CUDA cores, 32 Tensor cores, and 2 NVDLA engines. It also features two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports and four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports; each port provides 10 Gbps (Gen2) or 5 Gbps (Gen1) data bandwidth, and up to 1500mA current for USB camera connectivity.
PCIe-NX156U3 aims to enable AI inference and increase USB camera connectivity for existing 19″ rack-mount or commercial off-the-shelf box AOI systems. With a standard single-slot half-length PCIe card form factor, PCIe-NX156U3 communicates with the host via the PCIe x4 slot Gen2 x1 signal. Its AI capabilities offloads deep-learning vision computing from the host computer, actions such as image capture, pre-processing, and inference are all performed by PCIe-NX156U3 while utilizing minimum host computer resources.
Capable of wide temperature -25°C to 60°C operation and Windows and Linux OS compatibility make PCIe-NX156U3 the perfect upgrade for legacy machine vision systems to leverage deep learning-based image processing such as package inspection, object sorting, surface defect detection, assembly verification, and robotic guidance, etc. It is a revolutionary AI-enabling frame grabber card for next-generation inspection applications
