New Piranha4 2k Quadlinear Line Scan Camera for Multispectral Imaging from Teledyne DALSA
Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision technology, today introduced its Piranha4 2k quadlinear line scan camera featuring red, green, and blue (RGB) outputs plus a Near Infrared (NIR) channel for multispectral imaging.
The quadlinear Piranha4 is built around Teledyne DALSAs advanced CMOS image sensor design. Wafer-level dichroic filters enable spectrally independent RGB and NIR outputs, enhancing detection capability for a wide range of machine vision applications, including print, bank note inspection, electronics manufacturing, food and material sorting.
"Our Piranha4 multispectral camera extends line scan capability beyond color imaging," commented Xing-Fei He, Senior Product Manager. "The NIR channel enables OEM in print inspection, electronics manufacturing, and food and material sorting to easily detect defects they couldnt see before. Some customers are currently using one trilinear camera (for color imaging) with a monochrome camera (for NIR imaging) in a system. Now they will be able to replace two cameras with one quadlinear multispectral camera and realize significant cost-savings."
The new RGB+NIR Piranha4 multispectral camera is available in 2k resolution, with 14.08 micron pixel size and delivers a maximum line rate of 70 kHz. In addition to its multispectral capability, the camera also features sub-pixel spatial correction, horizontal parallax correction, multiple AOI and ROI, and independent exposure time for each color channel. Flat field correction can be done on each channel or as a group.
Key features include:
*Teledyne DALSAs proprietary CMOS sensor technology
*Spectrally independent RGB+NIR channels
*High speed 70 kHz
*Small form factor
*Sub-pixel spatial correction
*Horizontal parallax correction
*Multiple AOI/ROIs for output and calibration
*8, 10, or 12 bit depth selectable
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
