Basler Unveils High-Resolution CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras for Advanced Vision Systems in Battery Production and Beyond
Basler introduces its new CXP-12 line scan cameras, the racer 2 L 8k and 16k models, featuring advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Along with the 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 in battery production.
Basler AG has expanded its line scan camera offerings with the introduction of the new Basler racer 2 L, which is a monochrome version featuring a CXP-12 interface at a great price/performance ratio. This camera utilizes advanced Gpixel sensors to provide resolutions of 8k or 16k with line rates reaching up to 200 kHz. By using Basler frame grabbers and VisualApplets software for FPGA programming, users can access a pre-processing solution that reduces the CPU workload in their applications. Basler also provides all necessary components for a CXP-12 line scan image processing system, such as lighting, lenses, cables, and cooling solutions, as a single source provider. This comprehensive and extensively tested range makes integration simple and ensures maximum compatibility at a cost-effective price, making it a valuable 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 have a high-quality layer surrounding the surface of battery electrodes to ensure the battery functions 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 necessary to keep pace with production system speeds. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras satisfy these key criteria, allowing for efficient and rapid detection of faults.
These cameras are commonly used in various industries, such as electronics (for tasks like inspecting wafers and PCBs), logistics (for scanning barcodes), print inspection (for web monitoring), and rail inspection.
