Basler Introduces New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with 8k and 16k Resolution for High-End Vision Applications, Including Battery Production Quality Assurance

Basler introduces their latest line scan cameras, the racer 2 L 8k and 16k models, which are the first in their new series. These cameras come with advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Basler also provides essential components for a complete line scan vision system, like lighting and lenses, enabling the use of these cameras in sophisticated applications, such as quality control in battery manufacturing.

Basler AG is introducing 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 uses advanced Gpixel sensors to offer resolutions of 8k or 16k with line rates of up to 200 kHz. By using Basler frame grabbers and VisualApplets software for FPGA programming, users can reduce the CPU load in their 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, making integration easy and cost-effective for high-performance image processing applications.

Intended use: line scan cameras designed for examining batteries.

The market for battery production is expanding quickly. It is crucial to maintain high quality in the layer covering battery electrodes to ensure the battery functions optimally. To effectively detect even the smallest defects on electrodes during production, a powerful camera with high accuracy and line frequency is necessary. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras fulfill these requirements, allowing for efficient and quick fault detection in production systems.

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.
