If you’ve decided that a higher-resolution camera can improve your inspection or metrology system’s throughput and accuracy, then it’s time to take concrete steps toward finding the right solution. Let’s break down how to approach this process effectively.

Step 1: Selecting The Right Image Sensor

The first step is choosing an appropriate image sensor that delivers the resolution required for precise measurements. Our free ePaper provides guidance on prioritizing key parameters in image sensors and explains differences between cameras using similar sensors.

Step 2: Choosing The Best Interface

Next, select the most suitable interface for your system. This involves more than just evaluating data rates—consider factors like cable rigidity (rigid cables can cause vibration problems) and scalability to handle future higher speeds. Our free ePaper details pros and cons of various machine vision interfaces including CoaXPress, GigE Vision, and USB3.

Step 3: Implementing High-Performance CMOS Sensors

Once you’ve considered these factors, high-performance CMOS sensors with resolutions up to 25 Megapixels may be the optimal solution. For such systems, CoaXPress offers significant advantages in transmitting data at high speeds while maintaining signal integrity.

Step 4: Evaluating Implementation Options

When implementing CoaXPress technology, consider factors like cooling requirements and physical dimensions of cameras. OEM metrology cameras have demonstrated remarkable efficiency—achieving 2 gigapixels per second with minimal power consumption—a testament to technological advancement in this field.
