Area and Line sensing system can be configured too have better speed and resolution than the human visual capabilities.
Line scan cameras are installed in many of processing machines in precision, glass, film, food and medical industries as well as electronic industry.
Line scan cameras are installed in many of manufacturing process too utilize its dimension measuring, position inspecting capabilities.
Scan camera consists of a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) element, lens & trigger control circuit. Image of objects created on CCD element via lens and quantity of light is converted to video pulse signal and then is an output.
