2. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for Large Surface Areas

With its 4504x4504 pixel resolution, this camera can efficiently inspect large objects such as automotive body panels, flat panel displays, or solar cells for surface defects, scratches, or manufacturing inconsistencies in a single capture. The GigE interface allows for flexible cable lengths, accommodating diverse production line layouts.

Problem Solved

Streamlines the inspection of large-area products, reducing the need for complex multi-camera setups or time-consuming scanning processes, thereby increasing inspection speed and accuracy.

3. Robotics and High-Speed Pick-and-Place Systems

The combination of 5 fps frame rate, 20.2 MP resolution, and a global shutter enables this camera to provide clear, undistorted images of objects on rapidly moving conveyor belts. This allows robotic systems to precisely identify, locate, and manipulate items for sorting, assembly, or packaging, with the IP30 housing providing basic protection against dust ingress.

Problem Solved

Enables robots to accurately and quickly interact with moving targets in automated manufacturing and logistics, enhancing efficiency and reducing errors in pick-and-place operations.
