Basler Introduces New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with 8k and 16k Resolution for High-End Vision Applications in Battery Production and Beyond
Basler has introduced a new series of line scan cameras, the racer 2 L 8k and 16k models, featuring Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Alongside these cameras, Basler also provides essential components like lighting and lenses for a complete line scan vision system. These cameras are ideal for high-end applications, such as ensuring quality control in battery manufacturing processes.
Basler AG has added a new monochrome version of its line scan camera, the Basler racer 2 L, with a CXP-12 interface, offering a great balance of price and performance. Equipped with advanced Gpixel sensors, this camera can provide 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 have access to pre-processing solutions that can help reduce the workload on the CPU. 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. This comprehensive range of products has been extensively tested to ensure maximum compatibility and is suitable for a wide range of 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 that surrounds the battery electrodes for the battery to function optimally. A powerful camera is needed to accurately detect even the smallest defects on the electrodes during production using a machine vision system. In addition to accuracy, a high line frequency is also necessary 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 speedy fault detection.
These cameras are commonly used in various industries such as electronics (for inspecting wafers and PCBs), logistics (for capturing barcodes), print industry (for web inspection), and railway industry (for inspection purposes).
