As anticipated when Teledyne DALDA’s AxCIS Line Scan Series<\/a> was introduced a few months ago, color models have now been released. The “CIS” in the product name stands for Contact Image Sensor<\/a>. In fact a CIS doesn’t actually contact the object being imaged – but it’s so close to touching that the term has become vision industry jargon to help us orient to the category.<\/p>\n\n\n

What can CIS do for me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think “specialized line scan”. Line scan<\/a> in that it’s a linear array of sensors (vs. and area scan camera), requiring motion to create each successive next slice. And “specialized” in that CIS is positioned very close to the target, Plus low power requirements. And excellent price-performance characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the new color offering interesting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as with area scan imaging, if the application can be solved with monochrome sensors, that’s often preferred – since monochrome sensors, lensing, and lighting are simpler. If one just needs edge detection and contrast achievable with monochrome – stay monochrome! BUT sometimes color is the sole differentiator for an application, so the addition of color members to the AxCIS family can be a game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
