In contrast to area scan cameras, line scan cameras only ever record one line per exposure cycle at a very high resolution. Either the object is moved past the sensor or the sensor is moved past the object in a linear movement. This creates a two-dimensional image line by line. The resolution per line is significantly higher with this technology than with conventional area sensors and enables a better spatial resolution with a given object field. Image capture is possible at very high line speeds thanks to the adjustment to a smoothly running production line. Contact our consultants, who will work with you to evaluate the possible use of one of our line scan cameras in your production environment and provide you with comprehensive project support.
