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

Basler has introduced a new series of line scan cameras called racer 2 L with 8k and 16k resolution. These cameras feature the latest Gpixel sensors and CXP-12 interface. Along with the cameras, Basler also provides lighting and lenses for a complete line scan vision system. This enables the implementation of advanced applications like quality assurance in battery production.

Basler AG has added the new Basler racer 2 L line scan camera to its product lineup, offering a monochrome version with a CXP-12 interface at a great price/performance ratio. This camera features advanced Gpixel sensors, providing 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 reduce CPU load during application processing. Basler also offers all other necessary components for a CXP-12 line scan image processing system, such as lighting, lenses, cables, and cooling solutions. This comprehensive range of products allows for easy integration and maximum compatibility at a cost-effective price, making it a preferred choice for high-performance image processing applications.

Intended use: line scan cameras designed for inspecting batteries.

The market for battery production is expanding quickly. It is crucial to maintain a high quality layer around the surface of battery electrodes to ensure the battery functions optimally. To detect even the smallest defects on the electrodes during production, a powerful camera with high accuracy and line frequency is needed. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these requirements, allowing for effective and quick detection of faults in the production process.

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