Basler boosts speed and throughput of Sprint camera range with the launch of its 8k model
Germany's Basler Vision Technologies is introducing a new member of the Sprint line-scan camera family which, it says, operates at a high speed and throughput.
Called the Sprint 8k, it features a dual-line complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor that provides outstanding image quality at a maximum line rate of 70 kHz which, claims the firm, has not been reached before at the resolution of 8192 pixels.
To seamlessly integrate the Sprint 8k - with its pixel pitch of 10 µm - into a certain application, two different lens mount adapters are available. Together with a wide variety of adaptors and accessories, various lens systems from several vendors also can be used. This enables 80-150 mm lens systems to be used, and ones that are capable of producing an even higher magnification.
The Sprint line-scan family is based on a next-generation pixel design that combines the positive attributes of charge-coupled device (CCD) and CMOS technologies in a dual-line sensor, says Basler. This sensor was designed to be extremely sensitive and to show very low noise. These features are critical in order to produce the best results in low light conditions and high line rates, which are very common in line-scan applications.
The Sprint 8k enables speed and throughput to be increased significantly, says the company. Alternatively, the camera can be used to scan more parts in a certain time because of the higher resolution. The performance parameters and optional features make the Sprint 8k camera a powerful and flexible tool that can help to make companies using vision technology more competitive.
The Basler Sprint series already includes monochrome cameras with resolutions of 2k and 4k. During June, the company announced that the Sprint 2k and 4k line-scan cameras had successfully made the transition from their start-up phase to full series production. Colour versions for all resolutions will be introduced later this year.
Basler says that the Sprint series has been very successful and has gained great market acceptance in just a short time after the product launch. The cameras exhibit outstanding performance in high-speed applications or where light is limited.
The cameras in the Sprint family include powerful features such as an area of interest (AOI) with linear speed increase, shading correction, test images, line stamps, configuration sets and error-condition detection. Two types of shading correction - dark signal non-uniformity (DSNU) and photo response non-uniformity (PRNU) correction - let users correct for image variations that may result from optics, lighting, or sensor performance. The more homogeneous behaviour provided by shading correction can be a major advantage in many vision applications.
