Basler Unveils New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with 8k and 16k Resolution: Ideal for High-Performance Vision Systems in Battery Production and Beyond
Basler introduces brand new line scan cameras with 8k and 16k resolution in the form of the racer 2 L models. These cameras are the initial offerings in Basler's new line scan camera series and come with advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Alongside the cameras, Basler also provides essential components like lighting and lenses for a complete line scan vision system. This enables the implementation of top-tier applications, such as quality control in battery manufacturing.
Basler AG is introducing a new monochrome version of their Basler racer 2 L line scan camera, equipped with 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 of up to 200 kHz. By using Basler frame grabbers and VisualApplets software for FPGA programming, users can reduce the CPU load during pre-processing tasks. Basler also offers all necessary components for a CXP-12 line scan image processing system, including 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 inspecting batteries.
The market for battery production is expanding quickly. It is crucial to maintain high quality in the layer that covers battery electrodes to ensure the battery works optimally. To detect even the tiniest defects on the electrodes during production, a powerful camera with a high line frequency is needed. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these essential criteria, allowing for efficient and quick identification of faults.
These cameras are commonly used in various industries such as electronics (for inspecting wafers and PCBs), logistics (for capturing barcodes), web inspection (such as print quality control), and rail inspection.
