Basler Unveils New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with High Resolution for Quality Assurance in Battery Production and Beyond

Basler has introduced new CXP-12 line scan cameras with resolutions of 8k and 16k. These cameras, known as the racer 2 L series, are the first models in Basler's latest line scan camera lineup. They come with advanced Gpixel sensors and a CXP-12 interface. Basler also offers essential components like lighting and lenses for setting up a complete line scan vision system. This allows for the implementation of sophisticated applications, like 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 monochrome, featuring a CXP-12 interface at a competitive price. This camera utilizes cutting-edge 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 benefit from a pre-processing solution that reduces the CPU workload. 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. This comprehensive range of products ensures maximum compatibility and simplicity in 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 for the battery to work optimally. To detect even the smallest defects on the electrodes during production, a powerful camera with high accuracy and line frequency is needed. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these requirements, allowing for efficient and fast fault detection in battery production.

These cameras are commonly used in various industries such as electronics for tasks like inspecting wafers and PCBs, in logistics for scanning barcodes, in print for web inspection, and in rail maintenance for inspection purposes.
