JAI introduces four new compact line scan cameras in the Sweep Series with 2K resolution and high scan rates: Two trilinear RGB models with 3 x 2048 pixels offer scan rates up to 44,000 lines/s while the two models with monochrome sensors (1 x 2028 pixels) deliver up to 172,000 lines/s. All models are available with GigE Vision (5GBASE-T) or CoaXPress 2.0 interface for high-speed data throughput.
The Sweep 2K cameras with 5GigE interface are versatile solutions, delivering high bandwidth for faster data transfer, essential for high-speed imaging tasks. This increased speed improves processing and throughput without the need for an expensive Machine Vision-specific frame grabber card.
The CXP models, on the other hand, provide high bandwidth and low latency, ensuring rapid, real-time processing. Additionally, CXP offers exceptional signal integrity over long distances, compared to CameraLink making it particularly suitable for large-scale industrial setups where cameras are positioned far from the processing unit.
The cameras are equipped with large 7μm square pixel sensors for excellent light sensitivity, with pixel binning options to enhance sensitivity further. Key features include spatial compensation, tilted view correction, built-in color space conversion, direct encoder connectivity, flexible trigger settings, and more.
The new 2K color Sweep Series Line Scan cameras feature a trilinear sensor layout, ensuring accurate color reproduction with meticulous precision. Separate lines for red, green, and blue channels allow for true color imaging, making these cameras ideal for applications where color accuracy is critical.
JAI’s FPGA-based 2×1 binning can digitally increase signal responsivity by summing or decreasing noise by averaging adjacent pixels. This makes the cameras highly reliable and cost-effective for a wide range of machine vision applications, including fruit and vegetable sorting, wood inspection, logistics such as postal and barcode scanning, battery inspection, print inspection or mineral sorting.
The new Sweep 2K models supports direct encoder connection to the camera and includes several advanced functions designed to enhance vision inspection performance in high-speed production environments.
Additionally, the ability to control the exposure time by trigger width simplifies tasks like bright field inspection, creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) images, and synchronizing with RGB LED lights. Further image enhancement features ensure high quality images straight out of the camera.
The 5GigE models measure 44mm x 44mm x 64mm, while the CXP-6 models are slightly more compact at 44mm x 44mm x 54mm. This compact design allows for more streamlined and less intrusive system configurations, making these cameras an ideal choice for space-constrained environments.
