New 5GigE Multispectral Line Scan Camera from Teledyne DALSA

High-performance model extends vision capability

Published: Thursday, June 1, 2023 - 12:01

(Teledyne DALSA: Waterloo, ON, Canada) -- Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company, is pleased to announce that its Linea2 4k Multispectral 5GigE line scan camera is now in production. This new camera takes vision systems to the next level with its performance and value, offering a 5GigE interface with five times the bandwidth of the Linea GigE camera.

The Linea2 4k Multispectral 5GigE simultaneously captures high-resolution RGB plus near-infrared (NIR) multispectral images to reveal features that cannot be detected using visible light alone. This is ideal for identifying hard-to-see defects, contaminants, and security features in applications, such as automated optical inspection, printing inspection, optical sorting systems, material grading and inspection, web inspection, and many other machine-vision applications.

Packed into a small form factor, this camera is powered by Teledyne’s high-performance quadlinear CMOS sensor with a 4,096 x 4-pixel resolution and 7 x 7 μm pixel size. There are four sensor rows for red, green, blue, and NIR channels, with spectrally independent color and NIR outputs for minimal crosstalk. Unlike prism-based cameras, the Linea2 cameras do not require high-cost optical lenses, which helps significantly reduce the overall vision system cost.
