Basler Unveils New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with 8k and 16k Resolution for High-End Vision Applications
Basler has introduced new CXP-12 line scan cameras with resolutions of 8k and 16k. These cameras, called racer 2 L, are the first in a new series from Basler and feature advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Basler also provides other essential components for a line scan vision system, like lighting and lenses, allowing for the implementation of high-quality applications such as quality control in battery manufacturing.
Basler AG is expanding its line scan camera offerings with the introduction of the new Basler racer 2 L in 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 along with line rates of up to 200 kHz. By using Basler frame grabbers and VisualApplets software for FPGA programming, users can benefit from a pre-processing solution that reduces the CPU workload in the application. Basler also offers all 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 specifically for examining batteries.
The market for battery production is expanding quickly. It is crucial to maintain high quality in the 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 machine vision system is needed. In addition to accuracy, a high line frequency is necessary to keep pace with production systems. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these key requirements, allowing for efficient and rapid detection of faults.
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.
