Real-World Applications Powered by Sony IMX568 (GV-53F4LE- Global Shutter)
-
ANPR & Intelligent Traffic Monitoring
Automatic number plate recognition in fast-moving traffic demands sharp, distortion-free images under varied lighting and weather. Using the Sony IMX568 global shutter sensor, this camera captures clear license plates without motion blur, even at high speeds. Short exposure times and high dynamic range help preserve details despite glare, headlights, or rain. Its GigE connection allows installation far from the control room, while hardware triggering synchronizes with traffic sensors or strobe lights. This makes it ideal for toll systems, red-light enforcement, and access control where precision and reliability are critical. -
High-Speed Conveyor and Packaging Quality Control
In packaging lines, every label, barcode, and seal must be verified without slowing production. The IMX568’s global shutter eliminates skew from moving belts, while its 5 MP resolution reveals fine text and small defects. Region-of-Interest functions can focus processing power on specific areas, boosting inspection speed. Hardware and software triggers integrate with encoders and lighting systems for accurate capture timing. With a GigE interface, the camera can be mounted away from the control cabinet, reducing cable congestion and streamlining machine layouts. -
Robotic Pick-and-Place Precision Guidance
Robotic arms require distortion-free images to position components accurately. The IMX568’s global shutter ensures perfectly aligned images, even during rapid arm movements. A 5:4 aspect ratio and 2.74 µm pixel size allow detailed views without sacrificing field coverage. When paired with a telecentric lens, it delivers consistent measurements across the field of view. Trigger inputs synchronize image capture with robotic actions, ensuring precision in bin-picking, component alignment, and automated assembly tasks. -
Electronics Assembly Inspection and Measurement
For PCB production, every solder joint and connector must meet strict quality standards. The IMX568’s high resolution enables sub-millimeter inspections, capturing fine features of pads, traces, and component leads. Its global shutter maintains geometric accuracy while boards are in motion, and short exposures with controlled lighting reduce glare from metallic surfaces. This combination makes it highly effective for automated optical inspection, dimensional measurement, and quality control in electronics manufacturing. -
UAV and Mobile Robot Inspection
Drones and autonomous robots face challenges from vibration, movement, and varying light. The IMX568’s global shutter prevents image distortion, ensuring straight edges and consistent geometry. Its compact size and light weight suit gimbal-mounted systems, while high sensitivity allows for clear imaging even at dawn or dusk. Ideal for infrastructure surveys, solar panel inspections, or mobile navigation, it provides accurate visual data for mapping, defect detection, and operational safety in motion-intensive environments.
