Basler has started full production of the newest Ace GigE area scan cameras, the acA640-90 and the acA1600-20 monochrome and colour models.
As with all other Basler Ace cameras, they combine superior image quality, leading edge GigE interface technology, and a strictly cost-driven design. The cameras are easy to integrate from both a hardware and a software perspective. They offer a small 29 x 29mm footprint and Power over Ethernet functionality, as well as high performance features and compliance with all relevant standards such as GigE Vision or GenICam.
These cameras are a perfect fit for a variety of applications ranging from traffic systems and factory automation to medical applications.
The Ace acA640-90 models feature the Sony ICX424 sensor that delivers 90fps at VGA resolution. This sensor is a 1/3-inch Sony CCD sensor with exceptional image quality. It is widely used in analogue cameras and in some FireWire cameras, and it is universally employed in factory floor applications. The cameras now allow all users of analogue and FireWire cameras to switch to GigE as easily as possible.
The acA1600-20 cameras feature the popular Sony ICX274 CCD sensor. The cameras provide 20fps at 2 Megapixel resolution. Both the monochrome and colour models exhibit excellent image quality as shown by measurements made according to the EMVA 1288 standard.
