Basler Presents Small and Fast Line Scan Cameras for Mainstream Applications

With the new 2k and 4k line scan cameras racer 2 S, Basler is expanding its racer 2 camera series. Together with many compatible components, Basler offers everything needed for a complete line scan vision system for mainstream applications, e.g. special line scan LED illumination and C-mount lenses.

Ahrensburg, October 29, 2024 - Basler AG is expanding its racer 2 line scan camera series with 12 new, very affordable racer 2 S models. These have a particularly small form factor of 29 mm x 29 mm and are suitable for a wide range of applications in the mainstream sector. The new models with 2k or 4k resolution, line rates up to 172 kHz and Gpixel GL3504 sensor are available with GigE, 5GigE or CXP interface in mono and color variants. Integrated shading correction ensures that particularly homogeneous images are delivered with pixel-perfect accuracy at the push of a button. The small form factor enables use in applications where space and weight are critical. A wide selection of matched and tested components such as lighting, lenses, PC cards and cables enables easy integration and maximum compatibility. Combined with Basler's pylon software, including pylon vTools and pylon AI, these cameras can create extremely cost-effective vision solutions.

Typical applications for the racer 2 S include conveyor belt applications, inspections of cylindrical objects or applications with a moving camera. Examples include sorting parcels, inspecting medical ampoules and inspecting railroad tracks.

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.
