Based on multi-line CMOS technology, the ELiiXA+ has been designed specifically to provide advanced speed, supreme sensitivity and high resolution for the most demanding applications such as the inspection of flat panel displays, PCBs, wafers and solar cells.


The ELiiXA+ joins e2v's established family of line scan cameras (the EliiXA, AViiVA and DiViiNA, ranges) and combines the following unmatched performance:
High speed of above 100,000 lines per second, using the newly released CoaXPress interface
High resolution of 16,384 pixels, 5µm pixel size
High sensitivity with multi-line CMOS architecture, with no interspaces between each of the 4 active lines
High dynamic range of 73dB

The camera incorporates an innovative CMOS pixel architecture, combining the most advanced signal to noise ratio per individual pixel, and multi-line architecture to boost sensitivity further by sequentially integrating the same object line.

e2v's ELiiXA+ camera also benefits from a compact design; the active sensor length is 82mm while the total camera width is just 100mm. This makes implementing a multi-camera solution extremely simple. It has also been specifically designed to keep power consumption low, whilst at the same time driving an ultra fast sensor. This results in low heat production and ensures a smooth integration into any system.

S©bastien Teysseyre, e2v's Marketing manager for industrial cameras said "We are very proud to bring the ELiiXA+ product to the market. It delivers advanced performance without compromising on ease of use. This is the first 16k line scan camera that can be read at a speed of up to 100,000 lines a second, combined with extremely low power consumption and so avoiding system over heating. Similarly, we did not pile up a high number of lines to achieve the camera's high sensitivity at the cost of mechanical constraints, rather achieving it with a breakthrough in our CMOS sensor design."

The camera will be unveiled at e2v's booth (hall 4, booth C16) at Vision 2011, Stuttgart Germany from November 8th to November 10th.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
