Adimec has introduced a new CCD camera for fast inspection applications. The OPAL-1000m offers high spatial resolution at high speeds. Combined with Adimec’s electronics, this provides excellent linearity over the full dynamic range through optimised embedded video processing. Other important performance parameters include channel matching to below noise level, automatic black and shading, and defect-pixel correction.
The OPAL-1000m uses a ½-inch CCD area array sensor with 1024 x 1024, 5.5µm square pixels. It can deliver up to 120fps at full resolution, with good image quality and high signal to noise ratio. To enable high frame rate image acquisition in combination with standard frame grabbers, the cameras have a built-in frame memory that decouples the asynchronous image acquisition and image readout. The image readout and Camera Link interface of these cameras allow for software configuration and easy integration.
