Industrial cameras
Eight in one go
Eight new Basler Ace-U cameras with global shutter CMOS sensors are available in VGA and 1.6 megapixel resolution and deliver up to 520 images per second.
With a pixel size of 3.45 micrometers, the IMX273 sensor offers optimum image quality, high speeds and low noise. The IMX287 sensor has twice the pixel size with an edge length of 6.9 micrometers. This results in an increased saturation capacity and a higher dynamic range with the same sensitivity and also low noise.
Both sensors have the Ultra Short Exposure Time feature, which enables short exposure times of up to 1 microsecond. This makes them attractive for applications with fast movements, such as in the print sector. The sensitivity of both sensors extends into the near-infrared range, positioning them as a good alternative to higher-priced, dedicated NIR sensors in applications where low sensitivity in the NIR range is sufficient, such as electroluminescence inspection or in traffic and security applications.
The features of the new Ace-U cameras make them ideal as an upgrade for older CCD cameras with low resolutions. The IMX287 CMOS sensor, for example, is an excellent replacement for the ICX618 CCD sensor, as the similar pixel format with the same resolution enables a smooth changeover. Thanks to its significantly better sensor properties at a similar price level, the IMX287 offers users additional optimization potential for the entire image processing chain.
These Ace-U cameras are available with GigE and USB 3.0 interfaces and have the PGI feature set, a combination of 5x5 debayering, colour anti-aliasing, noise reduction and image sharpness optimization. According to the company, the GigE cameras also impress with powerful GigE Vision 2.0 features such as PTP. The Pylon Camera Software Suite from Basler ensures quick and easy integration of the Ace cameras. as
