Teledyne DALSA, a part of Teledyne’s Vision Solutions group, announced that its AxCIS™ family of high-speed and high-resolution fully integrated line scan imaging modules are now available in color. These easy-to-use Contact Image Sensors (CIS) combine sensors, lenses, and lights all-in-one, offering a lower-cost inspection system for many demanding machine vision applications, including battery and print inspection.

Powered by Teledyne’s multiline CMOS image sensors, AxCIS delivers superior image quality with up to a 60 kHz x 3-line rate of native RGB colors, at a pixel size of 28 µm or 900 dpi resolution, so that defects can be detected with unprecedented precision. Its unique sensor design covers the entire field of view without missing pixels, providing a 100 percent seamless image without any interpolation. In addition to defect detection, its unique design also supports true metrology applications.

AxCIS has been designed with scalability to various fields of view with a single 24V power supply. With a small form factor and an optical path with an IP50 dust-proof design, AxCIS can fit almost anywhere in the user’s system, even with limited vertical clearance. Its Camera Link HS SFP+ fiberoptic interface delivers high-throughput data over standard low-cost, long-length cables with immunity to EMI radiation for harsh industrial environments.
