Basler Unveils New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with High Resolution for Advanced Vision Systems in Battery Production and Beyond

Basler has introduced new line scan cameras in 8k and 16k resolution under the name racer 2 L. These cameras are the first in a new series and come with advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Basler also provides all necessary components for a complete line scan vision system, such as lighting and lenses, enabling the implementation of high-quality applications like quality control in battery manufacturing.

Basler AG has introduced a new monochrome version of its line scan camera, the Basler racer 2 L, which comes with a CXP-12 interface at a great price/performance ratio. This camera is equipped with advanced Gpixel sensors that allow for resolutions of 8k or 16k and line rates of up to 200 kHz. By using Basler frame grabbers and VisualApplets software for FPGA programming, users can benefit from a pre-processing solution that reduces the CPU workload in applications. Basler also offers all the necessary components for a CXP-12 line scan image processing system, such as lighting, lenses, cables, and cooling solutions. This extensive range of products ensures easy integration and maximum compatibility at a cost-effective price, making it a great choice for high-performance image processing applications.

Intended use: line scan cameras designed for examining batteries.

The battery production industry is expanding quickly. It is crucial to maintain high quality in the layer that covers the battery electrodes to ensure the battery functions optimally. To detect even the smallest defects on the electrodes during production, a powerful machine vision system with a high-quality camera is necessary. In addition to accuracy, a high line frequency is also important to keep up with the speed of production systems. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these key requirements, allowing for efficient and quick detection of faults.

These cameras are commonly used in various industries such as electronics for inspecting wafers and PCBs, in logistics for capturing barcodes, in print for web inspection, and in rail for inspection purposes.
