Digital progressive scan CCD cameras from Adept Electronic Solutions
CB-200MCL and CM-200MCL CCD cameras
Jai’s new CB-200MCL and CM-200MCL are digital progressive scan 2 megapixel CCD cameras with a new digital mini camera link (MCL) interface.
Based on the design of Jai’s previous CV-A1 and CV-A2 cameras this new CCD camera features optional Power over CameraLink (PoCL), auto-iris and control tool. Both cameras are offered in either monochrome (CM-200MCL) or colour (CB-200MCL).
The JAI CB-200MCL/CM-200MCL features a high sensitivity 1/1.8" CCD sensor and operates at up to 25 frames a second at full UXGA resolution (1620 x 1236 active pixels) in continuous operation mode.
The CCD camera operates at 24 frames a second at external trigger and full resolution modes and up to 89 frames a second at partial scan mode. This differentiates the camera as one of the fast high performance cameras in its class.
The JAI CB-200MCL/CM-200MCL CCD camera comes with a new mini-CL (mini CameraLink) interface.
The new CCD camera allows a host of new advantages such as reduced size and a new Power over CameraLink (PoCL) feature.
The camera’s compact 29 x 44 x 66mm body matches the size of the older analogue models allowing machine vision users to easily convert from analogue to the newer digital range without timely and costly mechanical/optical redesign.
JAI's new optional PoCL feature comes as a single one-connector solution saving the user from messy cable clutter.
JAI's CB-200MCL and CM-200MCL CCD cameras available from Adept Electronic Solutions also come with a smart automatic iris function making it suited for many outdoor applications.
In an outdoor application such as traffic infringement or surveillance where varying levels of sunlight can be a barrier the camera can automatically adjust to a wide range of light levels.
The JAI CB-200MCL/CM-200MCL CCD camera comes with easy-to-use control software for camera configuration and setup. This connectivity from the software to the camera runs over the CameraLink connection and therefore requires no extra cables.
The software communicates with the camera using ascii commands so an industry standard communication package such as HyperTerminal can also be used or a user may choose to write his own communications easily and simply.
Typical application areas for the CB200MCL / CM200MCL include:
- Automotive inspection (e.g. High accuracy gauging and process verification)
- Pharmaceutical inspection (e.g. blister pack content, fluid fill levels)
- Beverage industry (e.g. inspection of defective bottles and fill levels)
- Food sorting
- Electronics inspection
JAI's CB-200MCL/CM-200MCL CCD cameras come with good frame speeds, resolution levels and a new mini-CL function packed with quality features.
