New camera system offers accurate detection capabilities

The black/white and colour modules make use of the large bandwidth available through Camera Link to provide both high frame rates and on-camera functions including wide dynamic range, frame accumulation, shading and error correction, single and multi ROI (region of interest) imaging and area gain/exposure.

These functions can be hardware and software triggered, using edge detection, pulse width detection, bulk trigger and sequential trigger modes. The XCL-SG510 module uses the Sony 2/3-type Exmor CMOS sensor with Pregius technology. According to the firm, this module is able to extract high-quality images.

The XCL-SG510 joins the XCL-CG510 5.1 MP GigE camera in the firm’s growing range of GS CMOS technologies. The b/w module has a minimum illumination of just 0.5 lx, the colour module requires just 12 lx and comes with a one-push white balance. Both have a sensitivity of F5.6, a gain of 0 to +18 dB, a shutter speed of 60s to 1/100,000s.

The C-mount modules measure 44 x 44 x 30 mm, weigh 96grammes, have an operating temperature and humidity range of -5°C to +45°C and 20% to 80%, and have high shock/vibration resistance - to 70G.
