Scout family grows

Basler has expanded its scout series of cameras with four new models based on Sony’s ICX285 CCD sensor. These cameras feature a 30-fps image-capture rate and are aimed at applications such as semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

The cameras feature either a Gigabit Ethernet interface or a FireWire 1394b interface and are available in monochrome or color. Basler’s pylon driver package supports both versions. With their GigE Vision-compliant interface, the cameras can perform 12-bit image-data transfer and color output at the full 30-fps speed, according to the company.
