1. Outline

● CCD line scan camera with 1024 pixels of image sensor and of 50MHz data rate.

● Video signal is output complying with Camera Link standard (Base Configuration).

2. Features

● It can perform high-speed inspection with 1024 image pixels at 50MHz data rate.

● GAIN and OFFSET characteristic , 8/10 bit format etc. can be easily changed with RS232C command from

capture board.

● The equipment operates with a single DC12V power source.

● Reduction in size and weight has been realized by adopting original circuit and mechanism design.

● Since the output signal level hardly vary among the ODD and EVEN pixels, It can display crisp image.

● Exposure control function is incorporated.

3. Applications

● Image processing device for Image inspection.

● Foreign substance detector on high-speed production line

● Surface inspection apparatus of sheet-like object .

● Pinhole detector

4. CCD image sensor

The CCD image sensor Is characterized by 10μm square sized pixel, effective 1024 pixels, and high-speed and

high-sensitivity characteristic features.
Charges accumulated in single-row photo diodes are output thorough two shift registers, respectively.
(No.1 for ODD numbered charges, No.2 for EVEN numbered charges) Each shift register operates
at the rate of 50MHz.

11. Notes

Precautions for use

■ Do not make an impact on the equipment.

■ Do not lag the equipment with heat insulating agent. If the equipment is covered with heat insulating agent, It

produces an increase in teｍperature and it causes the equipment to malfunction.(except for low-temperature
environment use)

■ Take appropriate measures such as heat removal or cold removal to prevent dew condensation, when to move It
to the place where temperature difference is extremely severe. Usage with dew condensation causes the
equipment to malfunction.

■ When the equipment is not used for a long time, protect the imaging device from dust or scratch by attaching a
lens cap. Do not store the equipment at the following places.

・The place where is subjected to a lot of dust and moisture.
・The place where is subjected to direct sunlight.
・The place where is extremely hot or cold.
・The place in the vicinity of an object which generates intensive electromagnetic field.
・The place where is subjected to intensive vibration.

■ Please wipe off the dirt on the lens surface with a cotton swab preventing scratch to the lens surface.

Use a soft cloth to clean up the camera body.

■ Use the equipment with a voltage within the range of specifications and do not connect the equipment to a power
source that contains intense noise components. In such case, the image output from the camera may contains
noise components.

■ Do not use the equipment in an environment subject to intense electromagnetic field.

In such an environment, malfunction of the camera, disturbance of image and noise are caused by the field.

■ In case of the high-intensity object, it may happen that even the low intensity part is displayed whitely like a
vertical streak above and below the high-intensity object. This phenomenon is called “smear”. However it is the
problem specific to CCD and it is not the camera-related failure.

■ In case of the linear object, jagged picture may be displayed. Also in case of the pinstripe or checkered pattern,
annual rings- like picture may be displayed. However these are also the problem specific to CCD and it is not the
camera-related failure.

■ The lighting using a commercial power source may cause a perceptible flicker at higher shutter speed.

In cases like this, consider to adjust shutter speed setting of the camera or to use the DC lighting or high-

frequency lighting.

Attention

■ All rights on this manual reserved.

■ The specifications and operational details described in the manual are subject to change for performance

improvement or other reasons without notice.
