Basler Pilot Series Area Array Industrial Camera piA2400-17gc

Overview of Basler Pilot Series Camera Products

1. Product positioning and sensor solution

Pilot is a Basler economical gigabit industrial area array camera series, equipped with 4 Kodak CCDs and 1 Sony CCD, available in black and white/color versions, covering VGA to 5 million pixels, with a maximum frame rate of 210fps; The target is to replace expensive Camera Link cameras and image capture cards without the need to replace the original optical lenses.

2. Core advantages of the interface

Adopting the GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet standard interface, the wiring can reach up to 100 meters without the need for additional acquisition cards, resulting in lower hardware costs; The camera supports a maximum image depth of 12 bits internally, and there is no bandwidth limit for 8-bit data streams.

3. Applicable industry scenarios

Semiconductor component testing, food testing, manufacturing quality inspection, intelligent transportation, microscopy imaging, medical imaging, biometric recognition and other machine vision fields.

4. General core benefits of the product

Resolution coverage of VGA~5MP, suitable for multiple scenes;

Gigabit network 100 meter long line, flexible installation layout;

Eliminate the need for collection cards, resulting in lower overall costs;

12 bit high dynamic image output;

Equipped with mature Nylon software, integrated development is convenient;

Factory inspection and calibration, with strong imaging consistency and stability.

Core imaging technology advantages (product differentiation highlights)

Progressive scanning global shutter CCD

The entire system adopts Progressive Scan CCD global shutter sensor, which enables imaging of moving objects without ghosting, meeting the requirements of precision detection.

Dual channel sensor balance calibration

Basler has developed a dual tap output equalization process, which is calibrated uniformly in the factory. Compared with competing sensors, there are no transverse stripes, and the picture uniformity is greatly improved.

Six degree of freedom high-precision sensor alignment

Equipped with exclusive high-precision calibration equipment, the sensor board is automatically assembled with 6 axes based on the optical axis; Even though piA2400gm/gc only has tiny pixels of 3.45 μ m, it can ensure uniform full frame depth of focus and full image consistency.
