The Latest Solution for High-speed Imaging in Low-light Conditions
Low light, high sensitivity cameras
High Speed cameras
Line scan cameras
Dalsa line scan cameras
Adept Electronic Solutions takes pleasure in introducing DALSA Corporation's
cutting-edge HS TDI camera, continuing DALSA's commitment to providing
solutions for ever-demanding high-speed, low-light imaging.
What is TDI?
TDI (time-delay
and integration) is a method of line scanning that provides dramatically
increased responsivity compared to other video-scanning methods. It
permits much greater scanning speeds in low light, or allows reduced
lighting levels (and costs) at conventional speeds.
What are the benefits of using
TDI technology? |
1
|
More Speed: With more effective integration time,
the speed of the target object or inspection web can be increased.
|
|
|
2 |
Less light, less expense: Instead of high-powered,
high-cost, high-temperature halogen lighting with DC power, high-frequency
AC or even LED lighting can be used, profoundly lowering system maintenance
costs. TDI operation effectively averages out fluctuations in light
intensity to represent a DC light source. This factor alone can justify
the increased cost of a TDI sensor versus the cost of using DC-regulated
light source and a line scan image sensor. |
What is DALSA Corporation's HS TDI solution?
The latest inclusion in the Dalsa's generation of high sensitivity, TDI
cameras are the Piranha HS-82-04k80 and the HS-82-04k40. With a maximum
line rate of up to 110kHz and throughput up to 640 MHz, the Piranha HS-82=04K80/40
provides the highest speed available in a TDI camera.
Features of these cameras include:
|
1
|
Up to 110 kHz maximum line rate |
|
|
2
|
50X greater responsivity than traditional linescan |
|
3
|
Stage selection up to 48 stages |
|
4 |
Bidirectionality |
|
5 |
100x antiblooming |
|
6 |
Selectable area mode or TDI mode |
|
7 |
Camera Link interface |
|
Camera configuration is extremely flexible and the number of Camera Link
taps, throughput, and line rate are all software controllable.
For applications where maximum
performance is needed in low-light conditions, a DALSA Piranha HS-TDI
camera is a practical solution. |
Other applications include: |
|
|
* Flat panel display inspection |
|
* Solar cell inspection |
|
* PCB and electronics |
|
* Postal sorting |
|
* Web inspection |
