CCD CAMERAS

 

Product Overview

With 30 years experience in the CCD field, since the development of its first digital camera prototype, e2v is now recognized as a key supplier in the machine-vision market. Our digital CCD camera technology delivers better image quality compared to analog cameras. In digital CCD cameras, the digitization takes place in the camera and results in better dynamic range and a higher image accuracy, while image quality is clearly one of the most important features to machine-vision applications. We are competing in this machine-vision market by supplying line scan cameras coupled with services at an excellent price to quality ratio.

Select the right camera for your application using the new e2v CAMERA SELECTOR and DATA TOOL on their website.

CCD Line scan  Industrial Cameras

Line scan cameras are used when there is a continuous web or sheet passing under the camera. In this situation, a line scan camera is used when the image is built up from a series of single pixel lines to create the final picture. The benefit of this is that the generated image has no 'end'. Our line scan cameras are based on high-quality image due to the high sensitivity of our CCDs manufacturing process. They are available in a variety of resolutions ranging from 0.5 pixels to 12K pixels. Details of the cameras are listed below. There is a link at the end of each description to the datasheet selection page. You can access the e2v camera home page here
