Where it is used
With its Camera Link interface and high line rate, this camera suits high-speed continuous-web inspection lines — printing, film, and metal strip — where short cable runs to a frame grabber are practical. Its mono sensor is well suited to surface-defect, scratch, and texture-contrast inspection where color information is not required.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
