Cameras promise high-resolution machine vision

Sensors Unlimited has introduced a family of linear digital video (LDV) linescan cameras for high resolution machine vision and spectroscopy.

Sensors Unlimited has introduced a family of linear digital video (LDV) linescan cameras for high resolution machine vision and spectroscopy.

The low noise, high dynamic range, high-line-rate platform works with any of Sensors Unlimited's standard linear arrays (from 800nm to 1700nm) and the extended wavelength arrays (from 1100nm to 2200nm).

Available with a 25 micron pitch or a 50 micron pitch, several array geometries may be selected with pixel counts of 256, 512 or 1024 said SUI.

The new linear digital video linescan cameras feature what is claimed to be an easy interface to optics and electronics.

Like all of SUI's indium gallium arsenide near-IR cameras, the new LDV shortwave infrared camera line operates at room temperature and works with standard glass optics.

Other features include Camera Link compatible, 14-bit digital output with continuous or triggered scanning modes and asynchronous operation.

Suitable for applications in machine vision and spectroscopy, the SUI Linear Digital Video Linescan Camera family is useful for inspection of agricultural and food products, wood, glass and metals said the company.

For medical applications, the camera line is suitable for optical coherence tomography of living tissue.

The company said that the LDV family can also be utilised for remote ground sensing, industrial materials classification and sorting, optical channel monitoring and telecommunications fibre and waveguide alignment, or production control.
