Phoenix Imaging offers a complete line of CCD cameras designed for machine vision applications. The cameras are available in monochrome (black & white) and color (RGB) formats. The both type of cameras are available in standard and remote head configurations. This section provides information about color CCD cameras. Unlike monochrome cameras color cameras have only experienced limited use in machine vision applications. However, there are certain inspections that can only be performed using a color CCD sensor. For example, sortation of plastic bottles (clear, green or milk white) is a much simplier task using color than with grayscale methods. Phoenix Imaging not only offers cameras for sale, but actually implements them in machine vision applications everyday. We are not only a supplier, we are a user. We are constantly evaluating CCD sensors for new applications on a daily basis. By evaluating a wide range of CCD sensors we are able to select the units that provide the "best" cost to performance ratio. If the product meets our requirements we then offer them for sale to our customers knowing that they will be satisfied with both the products performance and value. The color CCD cameras are available in single and three chip models. The single chip color CCD camera uses some type of chip masking. Masking generally is overlaid on the CCD sensor in a pattern so that each of the mask colors only uses a percentage of the entire array. The three chip CCD camera has the advantage that each of the sensor colors can use the resolution of the entire array. The three chip sensors are typically more expensive than a single chip color camera.
Other monochrome CCD sensor models are available upon request. |
