Enhancing Machine Vision Inspection Systems for Battery and Print Applications

Introduction to a New Era in Imaging Technology

The world of machine vision is advancing rapidly, driven by the need for more accurate and efficient inspection systems. In this context, Teledyne DALSA has announced an exciting development: its AxCIS™ family now offers high-speed and high-resolution color imaging capabilities.

This breakthrough innovation brings together sensors, lenses, and lighting in a single integrated module, creating a compact solution that delivers superior image quality at an accessible price point. This makes the system particularly valuable for demanding machine vision applications including battery inspection and print verification where precise defect detection is critical.

Technical Specifications of the New AxCIS System

The new color AxCIS modules leverage Teledyne’s advanced multiline CMOS image sensors to deliver exceptional performance:

  • Resolution: 900 dpi equivalent with a pixel size of just 28 µm, enabling unprecedented precision in defect detection.
  • Scan Speed: Achieving up to 60 kHz x 3-line rate for native RGB color capture.
  • Image Quality: Provides complete coverage of the field of view without missing pixels or requiring interpolation, ensuring seamless image quality.

This unique sensor design eliminates common issues with multi-sensor configurations, delivering consistently accurate results across all applications. Beyond defect detection, the system’s architecture also supports sophisticated metrology requirements for precise measurement and analysis tasks.

Design Features for Industrial Integration

Recognizing that industrial environments often present challenging installation constraints, Teledyne has designed AxCIS with several practical features:

  • Single-Supply Operation: The entire module operates on just 24V power.
  • Compact Form Factor: Small dimensions allow integration into tight spaces and systems with limited vertical clearance.
  • Dust-Resistant Design: With an IP50 rating, the optical path is protected against dust in demanding industrial environments.

These design choices make AxCIS exceptionally versatile for factory automation applications where space constraints often dictate component selection. The system’s immunity to EMI radiation ensures reliable performance even in electrically noisy environments common in manufacturing settings.

Interface and Connectivity Options

AxCIS delivers high-speed data throughput through its Camera Link HS SFP+ fiber optic interface, which utilizes standard low-cost cables that can extend over long distances without signal degradation or electromagnetic interference concerns. This connectivity solution provides excellent bandwidth for the large volume of image data generated by these systems while maintaining compatibility with existing industrial infrastructure.
