Title: The HR-Series: A Testament to Reliability and Innovation

Introduction

Launched more than a decade ago, the HR-Series has become synonymous with high-performance imaging solutions. Today, this series encompasses cutting-edge CMOS and CCD sensors, offering resolutions from 12 to an impressive 49 Megapixels.

A customer recently reached out to us regarding one of their early 11-Megapixel cameras—delivered ten years ago—which had been in constant use without any maintenance issues. The problem? Horizontal stripes appeared in the image.

Our initial suspicion pointed towards a failing A/D converter, but after thorough investigation, we discovered something else entirely.

More Than Just a Camera

Ten years is a significant milestone. In that time, countless technological advancements have occurred, yet our HR-Series cameras continue to deliver exceptional performance even under demanding conditions.

The series has evolved into one of the most comprehensive and high-performing offerings on the market today—designed for applications where reliability meets precision.

From day one, we’ve focused on sustainable value creation through close collaboration with customers. This commitment led us to build a brand with global reach—one celebrated by partners across Asia and North America alike.

Our journey began years ago when Kodak sensors were still state-of-the-art technology; later On Semiconductor took over production responsibilities—but the quality remained uncompromised throughout this transition period.

Digging Deeper: Fault Identification

When faced with persistent hardware issues after prolonged usage, one might wonder—is it normal wear and tear? Or could there be something more?

Initially suspecting an analog-to-digital converter failure seemed plausible given how sensitive these components can become over time. However,…

After testing all returned parts meticulously, our technical team identified the real culprit: a failing power supply unit.

Back in Action

With this knowledge under control, replacing just one faulty component brought back full functionality within minutes—allowing operations to resume without any downtime whatsoever!

This incident highlights how investing wisely leads not only towards operational continuity but also accelerates return on investment (ROI) through efficient resource utilization strategies like predictive maintenance planning.
