Machine vision imaging industry shifts away from CCD sensors

transitional plan On Semiconductor announce discontinuance of CCD Sensors |
|||||
|
German manufacturer of high quality machine vision cameras, Allied Vision Technologies, has outlined its transitional plan as the imaging industry shifts away from large format CCD. The industry shift has direct implications for Allied Vision Technology and specifically, its KAI sensor cameras. AVT's KAI sensor cameras feature high resolution, high performance CCD sensors that have been on the market for a number of decades, previously known as Kodak and Truesense. The sensor series was most recently purchased and owned by On Semiconductor, who have recently declared their intentions to cease manufacturing these sensors. On Semiconductor attributed turbulent sales activity
revealed in its own analysis as a key factor in its decision. On Semi's decision to discontinue the KAI range
of sensors reflects the growing industry trend to use the modern
CMOS sensors. CMOS has made huge advancements in recent years and
continues to evolve rapidly. |

The Allied Vision GT series is a series of high performance machine vision cameras designed for imaging in extreme temperatures (from -20°C up to 65°C) as well as fluctuating lighting conditions. The Prosilica GT cameras feature DC Auto Iris, as well as PoE and the latest CMOS sensor technologies making them ideal for a wide range of demanding applications including ITS & traffic imaging, machine vision, industrial inspection, security, surveillance, military applications and more. Four of Allied Vision GT models with On Semi KAI sensors have recently been discontinued and are replaced with models using the Sony Pregius sensors. The specifications of the new cameras are not identical but the performance in many ways is as good if not better. |

The new Sony Pregius CMOS sensor equivalents offer several advantages over the previous KAI CCD models resulting in outstanding image performance. These include: -- higher quantum efficiency -- higher dymanic range -- greater spatial resolution ... Here to advise The replacement CMOS sensors have differences to the previous CCD sensors. For example the pixel size for the CMOS sensors is considerably smaller nwhich will affect the requirement for the optics. Adept understands that, replacing current CCD-based systems with CMOS technology may require advice and support from us. Please call us for a conversation. |
