We’ve provided product overviews and updates on Teledyne DALSA’s AxCIS Contact Image Sensor in prior blogs, including a recent one on applications.
New models and features
The AxCIS product family now includes color models in widths of 400mm, 600mm, and 800mm. Monochrome models are offered at 400mm and 800mm respectively. In imperial units that spans from 16 – 32 inches.
AxCIS provides selectable 28/42/56/84um pixel size and high speed 50/60/100/120kHzx3 via the Camera Link HS interface.
Lighting flexibility
While sensors and features are always big factors in machine vision, pros know that lighting is just as important. AxCIS’ designers provide users with considerable flexibility on lighting options.
AxCIS modules may be purchased either with or without lighting. The with-lighting option provides tremendous value and ease of deployment – when appropriate for your application.
Here’s a short video showing all that’s bundled into a CIS (including bundled lighting):
But lighting isn’t one size fits all
The bundled lighting referenced above would be ideal for bright-field illumination. But what if your application is best-served by dark-field lighting, or another approach? To review lighting, see our KB article on lighting techniques.
Since AxCIS modules may also be supplied without bright-field lighting, we offer coax and other lighting solutions suitable for dark field methods.
