Machine vision cameras gain UV imaging
option
JAI Pulnix's UV option (OP21-UV), available on selected Pulnix machine vision cameras, is the option of replacing a camera's standard imager with an ultraviolet-sensitive imager.
JAI Pulnix's UV option (OP21-UV), available on selected Pulnix machine vision cameras, is the option of replacing a camera's standard imager with an ultraviolet-sensitive imager These cameras use high-resolution monochrome progressive scan CCDs, which permit full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high-speed shutter images and eliminate UV-blocking materials such as a cover glass or microlens

Camera resolves to improve machine vision
The TM-1325, newest in JAI Pulnix's line of Accupixel series cameras, is a miniature high-resolution (1.4Mpixel) monochrome progressive scan CCD camera.
OP21-UV is available on many JAI Pulnix products.
Frame rates for these cameras range from 8 to 200frame/s, depending on the camera being used.
Resolutions range from 648 x 484 to 2048 x 2048.
A square imager format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation (except the TM-9701).
The electronic shutter can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
Applications for cameras equipped with the UV-sensitive imager include laser inspection and analysis, UV microscopy, surface inspection, flame analysis and fluoroscopy.
The UV option is available on selected Pulnix cameras now.
UV imagers have neither glass nor microlenses, and require special care to avoid degraded performance or damage to the imager.
Volume pricing for these cameras is available on request.
