IRVINE, CA, October 7, 2008 - With its "one touch" button control, the OneTouch-LS(TM) linescan metrology and inspection station from Digital Precision Corp. (www.dpccorp.com) allows engineers to inspect images easier and faster than vision systems requiring a PC keyboard and mouse for entering commands. Today, it is in use in several quality-sensitive industries, saving customers time and money, while improving overall efficiency. Toshiba Teli's CSL8000CL 12K pixel resolution, high-speed linescan camera is playing a key role as part of this innovative solution.
Crucial Measurements in Seconds The OneTouch-LS is a welcome departure from the standard metrology and inspection systems that engineers are familiar with. Once activated, it scans the part with a stroke of 150mm (x axis) and 75mm (z axis), acquires a color or black/white image as large of 18545 x 8160, and with its Windows® XP/Vista-based DMP6000 software performs a variety of crucial measurement or inspection tasks, including distance, circle, width, thickness, ellipse, straightness, statistics and much more - all in mere seconds.
Toshiba Teli Camera Reduced Costs In designing the OneTouch-LS, Digital Precision Corp. engineers opted not to incorporate an array of standard area cameras because of space constraints. In addition, there was the complex software/calibration involved in handling overlapping fields of views at different scale and focus. A large-area camera was also considered, but these can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Instead, the Toshiba-Teli CSL8000CL linescan camera was deployed, resulting in reduced overall development cost.
High-Speed, High Throughput Camera Featuring the high-speed Camera Link(TM) interface for compatibility with standard cables and frame grabbers, the CSL8000CL accelerates high-speed and high-throughput applications without compromising noise immunity, linearity or charge transfer efficiency. Its pixel rate of 80 MHz yields line rates of up to 37 Hz, with ultra-high resolution RGB images (4083 pixels x 3) and 8160-pixel resolution monochrome.
The camera features the Kodak® KLI-4104 image sensor that consists of three parallel linear photodiode arrays for the output of R, G and B signals, along with a fourth channel for luminance information. This design allows for output of imaging targets in both color and monochrome images. Color pixel size is 10 µm x 10 µm, and monochrome is 5µm x 5 µm.
Sold by Digital Precision Corp., the OneTouch-LS(TM) system includes the CSL8000CL camera, a Camera Link frame grabber, CL3M Camera Link cable, power supply, DPM6000 software, and an F-mount lens.
