Ideal Applications

1. High-Speed Conveyor Inspection for Small Components

In automated conveyor systems, components often move too quickly for standard cameras to capture clearly. The global shutter sensor used in the UI-3070SE captures the entire image at the same instant, preventing motion distortion when parts pass through the field of view at high speed. High frame rates allow multiple images of each item, increasing the chance of detecting defects such as chips, surface damage, or orientation errors. Precise hardware triggering ensures each image is taken at the correct position, while region-based imaging focuses processing power on inspection zones only, improving throughput and inspection consistency.

2. Vision Guidance for Robotic Pick-and-Place Systems

Robotic assembly relies on accurate visual feedback to identify and position parts correctly. With global shutter capture, the camera delivers geometrically stable images even when robot arms or components move rapidly. High frame rates provide responsive visual updates, enabling quick correction of positional errors. Adjustable exposure and gain help manage reflections from metallic or glossy surfaces, which are common in automation environments. These features allow robots to achieve higher placement accuracy, reduce mispicks, and maintain stable operation in high-speed, continuous production workflows.

3. Inline Dimensional Measurement and Metrology

Measurement applications require consistent image geometry to ensure reliable results. The IMX252 sensor maintains spatial accuracy during capture, even if parts vibrate or shift slightly on the production line. Fine pixel structure supports precise edge detection and sub-pixel measurement algorithms. Long exposure options enable stable imaging with structured or low-intensity lighting without introducing blur. By limiting image capture to relevant regions, the system reduces data volume while maintaining measurement accuracy, making it suitable for inline gauging and quality verification tasks.

4. Automated PCB Assembly Inspection

Electronics manufacturing demands fast and accurate inspection of solder joints, connectors, and component placement. The global shutter sensor freezes motion as circuit boards move through inspection stations, ensuring sharp images under synchronized lighting. Triggered capture allows repeatable inspection timing, while region-based imaging concentrates on critical areas of interest. This approach improves defect visibility on fine-pitch components and solder features, helping manufacturers detect assembly issues early and maintain high production yield without slowing the line.

5. Dynamic Motion Analysis in Industrial Test Systems

Industrial testing often involves observing rapid mechanical movement that is difficult to analyze with conventional imaging. The global shutter architecture captures each frame without temporal distortion, making it possible to study motion patterns accurately. Short exposure times freeze fast motion, while high frame rates provide detailed time-based information. Triggered image acquisition ensures consistent capture points during repeated test cycles, supporting performance evaluation, durability testing, and fault analysis in mechanical and electromechanical systems.
