Teledyne DALSA has officially commenced production of its AxCIS™ series, a new class of integrated high-resolution and high-speed line scan imaging modules, optimised for compact systems. The latest Contact Image Sensors (CIS) from Teledyne merge sensors, optics, and illumination into a singular unit. This integration presents a more economical solution for inspection systems, catering to various complex machine vision tasks.
Leveraging Teledyne’s advanced multiline CMOS image sensors, the AxCIS™ line offers superior imaging quality, with line rates reaching 120 kHz for monochrome, or 60 kHz x 2 for High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging. The precise 28 µm pixel size, equivalent to 900 dpi resolution, enables the detection of defects with remarkable accuracy.
The AxCIS™ sensor is uniquely engineered to capture the complete field of view flawlessly, ensuring a 100% pixel-perfect image without requiring any interpolation. HDR imaging is accomplished through dual sensor rows that possess independent exposure settings, enhancing the detectability of highly reflective subjects and broadening the dynamic range. Beyond defect identification, the innovative sensor design also facilitates accurate metrology applications.
Designed for adaptability, AxCIS™ can scale to various field dimensions and operates on a single 24V power source. Its compact design, combined with an IP60-certified dust-proof optical path, allows for seamless integration into systems with constrained space, particularly where vertical space is at a premium. The Camera Link HS SFP+ fibre optic interface ensures the high-speed transfer of data, utilizing cost-effective and extended-length cables that are resistant to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for challenging industrial settings.
