A new advanced progressive scan colour camera is ideally suited for online colour inspection, product testing, identification and measurement applications and more.
Toshiba Digital Solutions Division, a division of Toshiba America Information Systems and a leader in advanced imaging technologies, has released the IK-TF7, a three-CCD 1024 x 768 progressive scan colour camera.
The IK-TF7 complements the IK-TF2 (NTSC) and IK-TF5 (progressive scan) models which have been commercially available for two years.
Ultracompact, (44 x 44 x 78mm) and lightweight (165g), the camera features a small form factor perfect for designing into space-sensitive machine vision applications.
The advanced progressive scan colour camera is ideally suited for online colour inspection, product testing, identification and measurement applications and more.
The new IK-TF7 model has a smaller pixel size (4.65 x 4.65um) than Toshiba's IK-TF5 progressive scan model and features a removable IR filter feature.
The TF camera series design has effectively eliminated image jitter through the incorporation of three third-inch progressive scan CCDs.
The cosite sampling arrangement of the CCDs eliminates RGB shift, making image capture more accurate with higher resolution (1024 x 768).
Colour reproduction is enhanced due to its colour-shading correction feature.
For accurate capture of fast-moving colour items under test, the camera features a variable-speed, electronic nine-step shutter ranging from 1/100 to 1/100,000 of a second, along with an advanced trigger function.
In the partial scan mode, the IK-TF7 offers high-speed readout of up to 90 frames per second.
Full pixel, independent readout is 30 frames per second.
Toshiba's new camera features an RS232C serial communications port (9600 or 19,200baud) to enable remote control operation via a PC.
Other highlights include automatic and manual white balance, one- or two-pulse random triggers, asynchronous reset, and a clean signal-to-noise ratio of 60dB.
The C-mount allows the use of a wide variety of available lenses, including those used in microscopy applications.
