Teledyne’s Contact Image Sensors available in colour

27/11/2024

Teledyne DALSA has announced that its AxCIS family of high-speed and high-resolution fully integrated line scan imaging modules is now available in colour. These easy-to-use Contact Image Sensors (CIS) combine sensors, lenses and lights all in one, offering a lower-cost inspection system for many demanding machine vision applications, including battery and print inspection.

Powered by Teledyne’s multi-line complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors, AxCIS delivers superior image quality with up to a 60 kHz × three-line rate of native RGB colours, at a pixel size of 28 µm or 900 dpi resolution, so that defects can be detected with unprecedented precision. Its unique sensor design covers the entire field of view without missing pixels, providing a 100% seamless image without any interpolation. In addition to defect detection, its unique design also supports true metrology applications.

AxCIS has been designed with scalability to various fields of view with a single 24 V power supply. With a small form factor and an optical path with an IP50 dustproof design, AxCIS can fit almost anywhere in the system, even with limited vertical clearance. Its Camera Link HS SFP+ fibre-optic interface delivers high-throughput data over standard low-cost, long-length cables with immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiation for harsh industrial environments.
