Digital frame grabber has enhanced features
The new Coreco Imaging Rebel Digital is a cost-effective digital frame grabber offering many new features not previously available.
This new camera, which features Dalsa's own designed and manufactured sensor, more than doubles the line rate compared to existing tri-linear line scan cameras and also offers enhanced sensitivity.
The new sensor eliminates artifacts associated with 3-CCD prism cameras by placing a separate row of pixels for each colour on a single sensor die.
The design reduces distance between rows to just two lines to minimise image artifacts due to synchronisation.
The result is higher quality images at higher speed.
Of particular importance in the ability of the Piranha to be used in off-axis inspection applications for the inspection of free-moving objects and in applications where there is nonuniform illumination.
In addition, the new camera features pigment photoresist technology for the colour filters to prolong the lifetime of the sensor.
Pigment photoresist is more immune to UV degradation than dye photoresist systems, giving better and longer imaging reliability and requiring less maintenance.
With a single power supply and a Camera Link interface the camera can deliver 8 or 12 bits per channel colour at up to 80Mpixels a second, the Piranha camera is both easy to use and powerful, offering programmable gains and offsets for each colour as well as FPN and PRNU correction.
