Low-cost camera takes on general machine vision applications

Teledyne DALSA unveiled its high resolution 8k line scan camera, the latest addition to its Linea series of low-cost, high-value cameras, which address the mainstream market for machine vision applications and delivers high speed and responsivity at an exceptional price point.

Like the 2k and 4k models, the Linea 8k monochrome model is built on the same powerful platform and acquires images at incredibly fast line rates of up to 80kHz.

"Linea cameras are performing exceptionally well in customer trials right now," said Behnam Rashidian, senior product manager for Teledyne DALSA. "With the introduction of the 8k model, the Linea family redefines the price-performance ratio, offering system integrators speed, responsivity and low cost."

Features of the Linea single line camera series include high responsivity in the visible and NIR wavelengths, multiple user coefficient and FFC calibration sets, programmable and flexible triggering, support of Camera Link cables up to 10m.

These compact, affordable cameras are ideal for general machine vision applications, including postal and parcel inspection, materials grading, food and web inspection, rail and road inspection, and pharmaceutical inspection.
