PixeLINK PL-D721P industrial vision camera

Scitech has released the PixeLINK PL-D721P camera based on the Python1300 sensor. The camera comes in both colour and monochrome versions and provides low-noise images for a broad range of industrial applications, including high-performance security and surveillance applications, parts inspection, metrology and biometrics, welding inspection, PCB and flat-panel display inspection. The cameras feature a 1.3 MP (1280 x 1024) resolution sensor capable of 210 fps at full resolution.

The models is based on an ON Semiconductor CMOS global shutter sensor with a 1/2″ optical format. The built-in image preprocessing capabilities result in high image quality, less load on the system and higher performance.

The cameras provide the user with a choice of 8- or 10-bit digitisation and a dynamic range of 60 dB. The external hardware trigger and two general-purpose outputs ensure users have the flexibility to synchronise the camera with their processes and illumination.

The product’s SDK uses a common API for all cameras, regardless of the chosen interface. Software code developed for one camera is easily transferred to other PixeLINK models without the need to recompile. Overall system costs are reduced and camera integration is simplified.
