Machine Vision Cameras offer UV option.

Press Release Summary:



Available on selected machine vision cameras, Model OP21-UV option replaces camera's standard imager with UV-sensitive imager. Cameras use high-resolution monochrome progressive scan CCDs, which permit full vertical and horizontal resolution of high-speed shutter images and eliminate UV-blocking materials. Frame rates range from 8-200 fps, and resolutions range from 648 x 484 to 2,048 x 2,048. Electronic shutter can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.

UV Option Extends Cameras' Capabilities



JAI PULNiX's UV option (OP21-UV), available on selected PULNiX machine vision cameras, is the option of replacing a camera's standard imager with an ultraviolet-sensitive imager. These cameras use high-resolution monochrome progressive scan CCDs, which permit full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high-speed shutter images and eliminate UV-blocking materials such as a cover glass or micro lens.

OP21-UV is available on many JAI PULNiX products. Frame rates for these cameras range from 8 fps to 200 fps, depending on the camera being used. Resolutions range from 648 x 484 to 2048 x 2048. A square imager format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation (except the TM-9701). The electronic shutter can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. For complete details about OP21-UV, please see the UV datasheet at www.jaipulnix.com.

Applications for cameras equipped with the UV-sensitive imager include laser inspection and analysis, UV microscopy, surface inspection, flame analysis, and fluoroscopy.

The UV option is available on selected PULNiX cameras now. UV imagers have neither glass nor microlenses, and require special care to avoid degraded performance or damage to the imager. Volume pricing for these cameras is available upon request. A high-resolution photograph is available for viewing and download at jaiuplnix.com.
