Adimec is pleased to announce that the S-25A70 has successfully completed extensive qualification testing and is now available for volume production. This newest addition to the CMOS-based SAPPHIRE series leverages insights gained from initial customer field tests to deliver an optimized design tailored for robust operation in demanding target applications.

The S-25A70/CXP camera represents a significant advancement in metrology equipment, enabling manufacturers to achieve breakthroughs in accuracy and throughput. This innovative solution has already been integrated into several instruments across various industries.

Key Features of the S-25A70

  • Optimized ON Semiconductor Vita25k Global Shutter Image Sensor
  • 25 Megapixel CMOS global shutter camera
  • Capable of delivering images at up to 5120 x 5120 pixels resolution with a maximum speed of 73 full frames per second (fps)
  • Features CoaXPress V1.1 Quad interface (4 x CXP-6) powered by Adimec’s advanced 2 Gigapixels/s camera platform
  • Delivers lowest power consumption and fan-less operation in its compact form factor, minimizing heat-related noise during integration
  • Offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio for metrology applications

This latest addition to Adimec’s global shutter CMOS metrology camera lineup excels at high speeds with ultra-high resolution imaging. Its exceptional image quality enables the precise measurement of increasingly smaller critical structures and defects required by in-line optical metrology systems, supporting ongoing industry demands for improved performance, increased speed, and reduced costs.

As production transitions from research to high-volume manufacturing, Adimec utilizes innovative automated assembly techniques to guarantee consistent reliability across every camera produced. This commitment ensures that each S-25A70 meets stringent quality standards required for large-field-of-view inspection equipment in sectors including semiconductor manufacturing, electronics fabrication, flat panel displays (FPD), and profilometry.

CoaXPress CXP-6 Quad Interface Capabilities

The 4 x CXP-6 configuration provides peak transfer rates of up to 2 Gigapixels/s with data transmission between camera and frame grabber reaching speeds of 25 Gbits/s (or 4 x 6.25 Gbits/s). Notably, the S-25A70’s power-efficient design enables operation through just one CoaXPress interface cable while still supporting maximum cable lengths exceeding 30 meters at full speed without requiring signal repeaters.

Engineered for continuous 24/7 stability, the S-25A70 delivers reliable high-quality imaging essential for advanced inspection systems in demanding industrial environments.
