Basler Unveils New CXP-12 Line Scan Cameras with 8k and 16k Resolution for High-End Applications in Battery Production and Beyond

Basler introduces the new CXP-12 line scan cameras with resolutions of 8k and 16k. These cameras, called racer 2 L, are the first in Basler's new line scan camera collection and 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, enabling the implementation of high-quality applications like quality control in battery manufacturing.

Basler AG is introducing the new Basler racer 2 L line scan camera in a monochrome version, equipped with a CXP-12 interface, at a competitive price. This camera features advanced Gpixel sensors that allow for resolutions of 8k or 16k and line rates of up to 200 kHz. When combined with 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 simple and cost-effective. This extensive range of products ensures maximum compatibility and ease of use for 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 maintain high quality in the layer that covers the surface of battery electrodes for the battery to work optimally. A powerful camera is necessary 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 also important to keep pace with the production systems' speed. Basler's racer 2 L line scan cameras meet these essential criteria, allowing for efficient and quick detection of faults.

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