Triple-CCD camera is a first for machine vision

Three-CCD camera is designed for easy integration into any machine vision system that requires high resolution and precision colour definition.

Toshiba Imaging Systems Division announces the IK-TF9C, a new 2048 x 1536 pixel output resolution, three-chip, colour CCD camera.

The revolutionary IK-TF9C is the first megapixel high-speed camera using three-CCD colour technology.

With a frame rate of 20 frame/s (full frame) and 40 frame/s (partial scan), this camera is a perfect solution for inspecting larger surfaces with more precision and high colour fidelity that only 3CCD technology can achieve.

It also incorporates Toshiba's proprietary progressive scan technology which eliminates image-jitter, making the new camera ideal for high speed, industrial machine vision applications.

The IK-TF9C was developed with Toshiba's advanced expertise in miniature 3CCD prism technology and designed for easy integration into any machine vision system that requires high resolution and precision colour definition.

The new camera is lightweight (165g) and measures only 44 x 44 x 78.3mm, making this one of the smallest and lightest 3CCD colour cameras available.

Features include a C-mount for lenses, an 8bit RGB digital output and CameraLink compatibility for ease of operation.

The new generation IK-TF9C is based on the same advanced technology as Toshiba Imaging Systems Division's recently introduced IK-TF camera series, featuring the three chip camera IT-CCD sensor and an RGB micro prism system for accurate, computer-ready colour images.

Ideal for industrial machine vision applications such as semiconductor inspection, food sorting and packaging, precision colour web inspection, colour printing and other high speed, colour imaging tasks.

Other applications include scientific imaging, medical diagnostics and high speed military imaging tasks.
