Ideal Applications

1. High-Speed Conveyor Inspection for Small Parts

In automated assembly environments, small components move at high speed, making motion blur a frequent inspection issue. A 2 MP global shutter sensor captures every pixel simultaneously, ensuring sharp images even when parts are moving quickly across the conveyor. High frame rates allow multiple frames per item, increasing the probability of detecting subtle defects. Hardware triggering aligned with conveyor motion ensures consistent image timing. By applying region-of-interest settings, the system reduces unnecessary data processing while maintaining inspection accuracy, enabling reliable quality control without slowing down high-throughput production lines.

2. Precision Robot Guidance and Pick-and-Place

Robotic pick-and-place applications depend on accurate visual positioning to reduce placement errors. With a global shutter sensor, images remain geometrically correct even when robot arms move rapidly through the camera’s field of view. High sensitivity supports stable imaging under standard factory lighting, minimizing the need for complex illumination setups. Fast data transfer and deterministic triggering help vision algorithms calculate object position quickly, reducing robot cycle times. This combination improves repeatability, lowers mispick rates, and enhances overall efficiency in automated robotic cells.

3. Inline Optical Measurement and Dimensional Control

Accurate dimensional measurement requires consistent pixel geometry, especially when inspecting parts in motion. A global shutter sensor preserves true object shape, making it suitable for edge detection and profile measurements on moving components. The resolution balances measurement detail with acquisition speed, allowing continuous inline monitoring. Flexible exposure control helps manage challenging surface finishes such as reflective metals or dark plastics. By capturing distortion-free images at high speed, manufacturers can implement closed-loop process control without interrupting production flow.

4. Packaging and Label Verification at High Throughput

Packaging lines demand reliable verification of labels, barcodes, and printed codes at high speeds. Rolling shutter artifacts can distort text and codes, leading to read failures. A global shutter sensor eliminates these distortions by exposing the entire frame at once. High frame rates enable repeated verification attempts, improving read reliability. Synchronized flash output allows short illumination pulses that freeze motion on fast-moving packages. This approach ensures consistent label verification performance while supporting modern, high-speed packaging operations.

5. Industrial Traffic and Object Tracking Systems

In logistics and industrial access-control environments, vision systems track moving vehicles, pallets, or containers. Rapid movement and changing lighting conditions often degrade image quality. A global shutter sensor prevents skew and distortion when objects move quickly through the scene. Wide exposure control supports operation from bright daylight to low-light conditions. The compact camera design allows flexible installation, while precise triggering ensures consistent capture timing. These capabilities provide reliable visual data for tracking, identification, and monitoring tasks in demanding industrial settings.
