Maintaining consistent image quality is critical in demanding industrial applications. The new SVS-Vistek hr455xXGE-T industrial camera addresses this challenge with integrated thermoelectric cooling (TEC) technology. This ensures stable sensor operation, even when external conditions fluctuate, leading to reproducible results.

The Problem with Temperature Fluctuations

Minor temperature variations significantly impact image quality. Increased sensor temperature reduces the signal-to-noise ratio and alters sensor sensitivity. Furthermore, spectral sensitivity – the way a sensor responds to different wavelengths – changes with temperature. This necessitates temperature-dependent calibration, particularly for applications like high-precision color measurement.

TEC Cooling for Stable Performance

The hr455xXGE-T utilizes TEC, based on a Peltier element, to maintain a constant operating temperature. This eliminates the effects of external temperature variations, guaranteeing consistent image quality.
