Basler Vision Technologies, manufacturer of digital cameras for industrial applications, has commenced the manufacturing of the ace area scan cameras.
The compact camera, with dimensions of 29x29x42 mm, features a 5 MP CMOS sensor, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a Gigabit Ethernet interface. The camera comes in color and monochrome and can provide a frame speed of 14 fps at full resolution.
5-MP Ace Camera
The power consumption of Basler ace cameras is 2.5 W, which yields low camera temperatures and make the device to be utilized in enclosed and compact environments. The 5 MP cameras are already qualified for a number of applications such as traffic systems, medical systems and other non-industrial applications.
The ace model is the most compact GigE camera in its range with PoE. It offers functions that are essential for a digital camera, including auto-functions for chunk data, look-up tables and gain and exposure. Its color improvement function provides high-quality images for applications demanding high color quality such as medical imaging.
The models come with resolutions ranging from VGA to 5 MP with a frame speed of up to 100 fps. In 2011, the existing ace line will be expanded with the introduction of new products with a Camera Link interface. These models feature CMOSIS Image Sensors’ 2 to 4 MP CMOS sensors with frame speeds of 340 and 180 fps, respectively. The series production of these cameras is slated for H2 of 2011.
