Digital imaging components designer and manufacturer Teledyne DALSA has announced its new line scan camera, the Linea2 4K Multispectral 5GigE. The new camera boasts a host of new benefits compared to its predecessor, the Linea GigE camera, including increased bandwidth.
Key information:
- The Linea2 4K Multispectral 5GigE line camera boasts five times more bandwidth compared to its predecessor.
- Line2 cameras don't require high-cost optical lenses, significantly reducing vision system costs.
- The new camera can be used in a variety of applications including automated optical inspection, optical sorting systems, printing inspection, and web inspection.
The Linea2 4K Multispectral 5GigE will work to capture high-resolution RGB and Near Infrared (NIR) multispectral images. Teledyne DALSA claims the new camera will be able to reveal invisible features that avoid detection in only visible light, making hard-to-see defects easier to find.
The new camera is powered by Teledyne’s quadlinear CMOS sensor with a 4,096x4 pixel resolution and 7x7μm pixel size. Linea2 4K Multispectral 5GigE will feature four sensor rows for red, blue, green, and NIR channels, with spectrally independent colour and NIR outputs for minimal crosstalk. The camera can work in various applications including automated optical inspection, optical sorting systems, printing inspection, and web inspection. As well as other machine vision applications.
While Teledyne DALSA’s new product may host a variety of new capabilities, it does not require a high-cost lens like other prism-based cameras. Which significantly reduces the overall vision system cost.
