Welcome to the August issue of High Speed
News. In this holiday period we concentrate on hiring.
| Why hire a camera? |
 |
At Lake Image Systems we
don't just sell
cameras;
we also hire for short periods, typically from a day to
a
couple of weeks, although there are no limitations to
the hire period.
So, why would you hire rather than buy?
|
| What cameras do we hire? |
|
|
As we have our sales
demonstration cameras available for hire, we not only
have a variety of systems, but they are the latest
models.
- MotionPro
Most hire applications
are suited to MotionPro. In addition, having two
available, 3D and other multi-camera applications can
be imaged.
- MotionScope PCI.
General purpose high speed imaging in a
PC
- MotionMeter.
The
ultimate in portability, for instant slow motion.
- HG-100K.
For faster applications, up to
100,000fps, or where the image quality is paramount,
maybe for broadcast.
- NEW MOTIONeer For
use
with your laptop, the battery power enables use
anywhere.

| Applications..... |
|
|
So, what applications have we recently hired
cameras for.
Production
line fault diagnosis is the number one application.
Engineers can pinpoint faults in a few
minutes instead of the usual hours of guesswork. As
all our cameras feature 'post-
triggering', you are able to capture unpredictable
events like machine stoppages , by triggering the
camera
to stop after the crash, or even automatically from
the alarm signal of the machine itself!
Other recent applications include: Impact
tests of
components or materials. The final stage of a
project,
rather than an ongoing series of tests. recent
examples include personal medical devices, mobile
phones, sections of car chassis.Sports.
Seen any
slow motion footage on channel 4 cricket?
Biomechanics. The study of jumping
insects and
the gait of a running athlete.Exploding
pressure
valves!

| Not 'Dead' Money |

Remember, when you hire from us, and order a
high speed
camera within three months of the hire date, half your
rental fee is refunded.

Ishida saves a packet |

"We had two engineers analysing a machine for
about 3 weeks, using a standard camcorder
trying to work out why crisp packets were not being
turned round as expected. (The variation in the
shape makes them very difficult to work with.)
"Hiring a MotionPro for a day,
had the problem
solved
in an instant.
"Money well spent. Compared to 6 man-
weeks, hiring
a high speed camera was the cheap option!"
