Basler Unveils New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with 8k and 16k Resolution for High-End Applications in Battery Production and Beyond
Basler introduces new line scan cameras with resolutions of 8k and 16k, known as the racer 2 L series. These cameras feature advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Basler also provides essential components like lighting and lenses for a complete line scan vision system. This allows for the implementation of advanced applications, like quality control in battery manufacturing.
Basler AG is expanding its line scan camera options with the introduction of the Basler racer 2 L, which comes in a monochrome version with a CXP-12 interface at a great price/performance ratio. This camera features advanced Gpixel sensors, offering 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 pre-processing. Basler also offers all necessary components for a CXP-12 line scan image processing system, including lighting, lenses, cables, and cooling solutions. This comprehensive range ensures easy integration and high compatibility at a cost-effective price point, making it ideal for various 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 have a high-quality layer surrounding the 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 necessary. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these requirements, allowing for effective and fast fault detection in the production process.
These cameras are commonly used in various industries such as electronics (for inspecting wafers and PCBs), logistics (for scanning barcodes), web inspection (such as print quality control), and rail inspection.
