Being a member of JAI's Apex series of prism-based, colour cameras, the
AT-030MCL has been designed for applications that need both the precise
colour information made possible by 3CCD technology as well as a frame
rate suitable for high-speed, automated colour sorting or print inspections.
The camera is a 0.3 megapixel 3-CCD colour progressive scan camera for
fast industrial inspection applications offering up to 120 frames-per-second
with full resolution.
Applications
The AT-030MCL targets applications requiring a combination of moderate
(VGA) resolution, fast frame rates, and precise colour data reproduction
and is particularly well-suited to the pharmaceutical industry where there
is a need for high precision inspection of colour tablets at high conveyer
belt speeds.
Besides pharmaceutical applications, the AT-030MCL is also suitable for
print inspection, LED diode inspection, PCB inspection and other high-speed
inspection projects where there is a need to reject items with very subtle
colour variations.
How it works
The camera is equipped with three 1/3" CCDs providing higher colour
image fidelity and better spatial resolutions than cameras based on traditional
Bayer colour interpolation techniques.
With its built-in 3CCD technology, the AT-030MCL captures a specific
red, green and blue colour value for each pixel providing some of the
most precise colour output available in the market. The three CCD sensors
deliver 659 (h) x 494 (v) pixels of resolution per channel and the camera
operates at 120 frames per second at full resolution. With the use of
partial scan and binning modes even higher frame rates even higher frame
rates can be obtained.
A wide range of pre-set options and programmable shutter and exposure
modes for each of the R, G, and B channels are provided to support diverse
application requirements.
Dual Camera Link interfaces permits 8, 10, or 12-bit output per channel
using a Camera Link base or medium configuration, as required. With full
36-bit RGB color output possible, no progressive scan 3CCD camera offers
higher color fidelity.
