Camera Provides 100% Print Inspection
The Piranha tri-linear colour line scan camera from Dalsa has been added to Firstsight Vision's range of linescan cameras for claimed 100 per cent print inspection and document scanning.
The new camera, which features Dalsa's own designed and manufactured sensor, is claimed to more than double the line rate compared to existing tri-linear line scan cameras, whilst also offering enhanced sensitivity The new sensor is said to eliminate artifacts associated with 3-CCD prism cameras and by placing a separate row of pixels for each colour on a single sensor die

Firstsight Vision has claimed it is offering a new approach to smart imaging for labelling and printed packaging vision applications with the introduction of the VA21 from IPD.
The design reduces distance between rows to two lines to minimise image artifacts due to synchronisation associated with other tri-linear cameras.
Firtsight Vision said that the result is higher quality images at higher speed.
The company added that the Piranha can be used in off-axis inspection applications for the inspection of free-moving objects and where there is non-uniform illumination.
In addition, the new camera features pigment photoresist technology for the colour filters to prolong the lifetime of the sensor.
Pigment photoresist is more immune to UV degradation than dye photoresist systems, giving better and longer imaging reliability and less maintenance, it is claimed.
With a single power supply and camera Link interface the camera is said to provide eight or 12 bits per channel colour at up to 80Mpixels per second, the Piranha camera is said to be easy to use, providing programmable gains and offsets for each colour, as well as FPN and PRNU correction.
