Stemmer Imaging offers wide dynamic range Piranha4 linescan camera

Stemmer Imaging has added the Teledyne Dalsa Piranha4 8k, 70 kHz to its range. The camera uses Teledyne Dalsa's latest high performance CMOS dual linescan imager, which features 8,096 pixel resolution with increased line rates up to 70 kHz, delivering 573 MP through the CameraLink interface. The sensor architecture is designed for high throughput applications, with a high dynamic range and more than twice the line rate of previous models.

Teledyne Dalsa's dual linescan technology combines signals from two parallel arrays of pixels to increase responsiveness and reduce the effect of shot noise at low light levels. This gives a significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio to improve the dynamic range. An advanced GenICam compliant interface makes the camera easy to set-up, control, and integrate into production environments, says Stemmer. Precise sensor alignment across XYZ axes allows reliable, optimised performance in multi-camera systems. Camera functions such as exposure control, flat field correction, white balance and gain settings are fully programmable. The Teledyne Dalsa Piranha4 can be used in a wide range of inspection applications, such as flat panel, printed circuit board and web (narrow and wide web) and solar cell – and also for parcel sorting and high performance document scanning.
