Digital camera suits industrial inspection

The 4K model is the latest addition to PerkinElmer's SmartBlue family of high-speed digital linescan cameras.

PerkinElmer Optoelectronics has released the SmartBlue 4096 pixel digital linescan camera for industrial inspection applications.

The SmartBlue 4K camera incorporates high-end electronics, a digital interface and rugged industrial housing to meet the needs of demanding imaging applications such as machine vision, flat panel and web inspection.

The 4K model is the latest addition to PerkinElmer's SmartBlue family of high-speed digital linescan cameras.

"With 4096 pixels resolution, the new SmartBlue 4K doubles the field-of-view or spatial resolution of the imaging system as compared to the 2K model".

"Now OEMs can select from PerkinElmer the CCD camera model that best suits their needs with respect to spatial resolution and field-of-view", according to Bill Kibler, Global CCD Product Leader, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics.

The SmartBlue 4K's 80MHz pixel rate yields line rates up to 19kHz without compromising its noise immunity, precise linearity and high charge transfer efficiency.

It comes equipped with an industry-standard CameraLink digital communication interface.

Its user-controllable internal image processing make it faster and more convenient than alternatives, using fewer computer resources in what is likely an already over-burdened host computer.

PerkinElmer's SmartBlue cameras incorporate the well-established, industry-standard Reticon photodiode arrays.

PerkinElmer's SmartBlue 4K camera will be on display for the first time at Sensor + Test in Nuremberg on 22nd - 24th May, 2007.
