The Applications
1. High-Speed Packaging Inspection for Labels, Seals, and Dates
On packaging lines, Sony IMX304-based vision setups are used when products move too fast for rolling-shutter cameras to stay sharp. The GV-5202SE can be triggered from an encoder so every capture occurs at the same position, while a synchronized strobe freezes motion for crisp edges and readable print. With 12 MP resolution, one camera can verify label placement, detect wrinkles or bubbles, confirm tamper seals, and read date/lot codes without needing multiple cameras. If only part of the field is critical, ROI and data-rate control reduce network load while keeping inspection timing stable.
2. Electronics AOI for PCB Assembly and Connector Alignment
In electronics inspection, IMX304-class global shutter imaging is applied to boards moving continuously or indexing rapidly between stations. The GV-5202SE’s high pixel count helps you cover a large PCB area, then zoom in digitally using ROI for fine-pitch leads, missing components, polarity marks, or connector pin alignment. Hardware triggering improves repeatability by locking each exposure to a conveyor or handler position, reducing inconsistent results between shifts. Image tuning tools such as gamma/LUT and noise reduction help maintain contrast on reflective solder joints and mixed materials, lowering false rejects when lighting conditions drift.
3. Precision Metrology with Telecentric Optics on Machined Parts
For dimensional gauging, IMX304 sensors are commonly selected because they combine wide coverage with enough pixel density for accurate edge extraction. Pair the GV-5202SE with a telecentric lens to measure hole diameters, slot widths, chamfers, and stamped features while minimizing perspective error. Global shutter protects measurement integrity when parts rotate or index quickly, and stable triggering ensures measurements are taken at consistent angles or positions. In multi-camera fixtures, network-based timing alignment can improve correlation between viewpoints. ROI and decimation allow you to increase responsiveness when you only need critical measurement regions, keeping throughput high.
4. Intelligent Transportation: Plate Capture and Vehicle Classification
IMX304-based global shutter cameras are used in traffic and tolling systems when the requirement is “capture once, capture clearly.” With short exposure and controlled illumination, the GV-5202SE can freeze fast vehicles to keep plate characters legible and body features sharp for classification. GigE with PoE simplifies roadside deployment by reducing cabling complexity over longer distances to cabinets or network switches. Trigger inputs allow capture to be tied to radar, loop sensors, or timing gates, improving consistency. Bandwidth management and buffering help prevent missed frames during peak traffic bursts, when multiple streams share the same network.
5. Industrial Microscopy and High-Magnification Defect Documentation
In microscopy and close-up inspection, IMX304-class sensors are chosen to deliver detailed, large-area images without distortion when stages move or vibration is present. The GV-5202SE supports both rapid capture for workflow efficiency and long exposure for dim illumination setups where optics reduce light throughput. Use ROI for quick focusing and region-by-region documentation, then switch to full resolution for evidence images and traceable QA records. Noise reduction and tone control help stabilize contrast on fine textures such as micro-cracks, tool marks, coatings, or etched patterns. Global shutter is especially valuable when scanning or repositioning samples between captures.
