Industrial cameras with Global Shutter CMOS sensors

Rauscher presents eight new Basler ACE U cameras with global shutter CMOS sensors in VGA and 1,6 megapixel resolution that deliver up to 520 images / s. The Sony Pregius IMX273 sensor with a pixel size of 3,45 µm offers optimal image quality, high speeds and low noise. The IMX287 sensor has twice the pixel size with an edge length of 6,9 µm.

This results in an increased saturation capacity and a higher dynamic range with the same sensitivity and also low noise. Both sensors have the Ultra Short Exposure Time Feature, which enables extremely short exposure times of down to 1 µs. This makes them suitable for fast moving applications such as print. The sensitivity of both sensors extends into the near-infrared range, positioning them as a good alternative to higher-priced, dedicated NIR sensors in applications where low sensitivity in the NIR range is sufficient, such as electroluminescence inspection or in traffic and security -Appliques.

Vision Sensor solves many tasks in factory automation

With their features, the ACE U cameras are ideal as an upgrade for older CCD cameras with low resolutions. For example, the IMX287 CMOS sensor is a good alternative for the CCD sensor ICX618, because the similar pixel format with the same resolution enables a smooth changeover. Due to its significantly better sensor characteristics at a similar price level, the IMX287 offers users additional optimization potential for the entire image processing chain.

These ACE U cameras come with proven GigE and USB 3.0 interfaces and feature the feature set PGI, the combination of 5 x 5 debayering, color anti-aliasing, noise reduction and image sharpness optimization. The GigE cameras also offer powerful GigE Vision 2.0 features such as PTP. Basler's Pylon Camera Software Suite makes it easy to integrate the cameras.
