Area scan cameras for industrial machine vision

An area scan camera captures a complete two-dimensional image. Which industrial camera suits the task, however, does not depend on resolution or frame rate alone. Field of view, smallest detectable feature, object motion, exposure time and the interfaces already in place have to be considered together. Sensor size and lens mount also shape the choice of optics.

Use the filters to narrow the range by documented technical properties. Then compare more than similar numbers: installation space, data transfer, power supply and the demands placed on optics and lighting matter just as much. Every product page should show the exact model designation, the manufacturer documents and the data status.

Not sure whether GigE, USB3, CoaXPress or Camera Link fits your setup? Send us the field of view, working distance, the level of detail you need and the cycle time. We check the constraints across manufacturers and include camera, lens and lighting in the selection.
