The Applications
1. High-Speed PCB Inspection for Assembly Verification
In modern electronics production, printed circuit boards move rapidly through inspection stations, making image distortion a major challenge. A camera using a 9 MP global shutter sensor captures the entire board at one instant, preserving true geometry even at high conveyor speeds. The high resolution reveals fine solder joints, lifted leads, and component offsets without requiring multiple cameras. Precise hardware triggering ensures images are taken at the exact board position, while selectable regions of interest reduce processing load. This results in reliable defect detection without slowing down high-throughput manufacturing lines.
2. Inline Dimensional Measurement of Machined Parts
Automated metrology systems must deliver consistent measurements even when parts are in motion. A global shutter sensor ensures edges remain straight and proportional, which is critical for accurate dimensional analysis. The large optical format supports wide measurement areas, allowing full parts to be inspected in a single image. High image depth improves contrast along edges, supporting sub-pixel measurement algorithms. These characteristics help manufacturers verify tolerances inline, reduce scrap, and avoid stopping production for manual measurement.
3. Vision Guidance for Robotic Pick-and-Place Systems
Robotic pick-and-place applications depend on accurate visual feedback to locate parts during rapid motion. Distortion-free images from a global shutter sensor allow reliable detection of part position and orientation. High frame rates support responsive feedback loops, while precise exposure control maintains image clarity under varying lighting. The result is improved placement accuracy, reduced collision risk, and more consistent cycle times. This makes such sensors well suited for robotic assembly cells operating at high speed with tight positioning requirements.
4. Conveyor-Based Inspection in Food and Packaging Lines
Food and packaging products typically move continuously, leaving no opportunity to pause for imaging. A global shutter sensor captures sharp images of labels, seals, and package edges without blur, even at high belt speeds. Wide image coverage allows multiple items to be inspected simultaneously, improving efficiency. Triggered capture synchronized to conveyor motion ensures each product is inspected at the correct position. This enables reliable detection of labeling errors, seal defects, or missing components while maintaining full production throughput.
5. Scientific Imaging in Dynamic Test Environments
Experimental setups often involve moving samples, timed illumination, or synchronized mechanical motion. A global shutter sensor with precise exposure timing captures transient events accurately, without temporal distortion. High resolution supports detailed analysis of structural changes or motion behavior, while flexible region selection focuses data on areas of interest. These capabilities are valuable in laboratory research, materials testing, and prototype validation, where repeatable imaging and precise timing are essential for meaningful analysis.
