Overcoming limits – World's fastest standard VGA sensor meets the latest board level camera design

Nowadays ever faster production processes require very high frame rates during visualization and testing in many sectors. At the same time, increasing miniaturization calls for highly flexible components, which can be integrated even in the smallest available space. Baumer meets these requirements with the new MXG03. The board level camera is equipped with the world's fastest VGA sensor from CMOSIS, the CMV300, which was specifically developed for the high speed range. With up to 250 frames/s, the cameras can keep pace with the fastest applications. Due to the flex print connecting sensor and system board with each other, the camera can be adapted individually to almost any mechanical design. The VGA cameras represent the core of powerful image processing systems for high-speed processes. This is for example applicable in checking blister packages for completeness or vials for particles. They are also used in the semi-conductor industry for presence checks and position monitoring during assembly. Also in increasingly non-industrial sectors like life sciences, they provide ideal performance thanks to their small, flexible design and high speed.

The integrated global shutter with CDS (Correlated Double Sampling) enables detection of the fastest movements with low readout noise and excellent image quality. Besides from top speeds and maximum flexibility, the MXG03 also features a high sensitivity which surpasses even the sensitivity of CCD sensors. The camera has a GigE standard interface which offers a high bandwidth, reduces integration and maintenance costs and supports the installation of camera networks. Comprehensive camera features like trigger delay, sequencer, debouncer, packet or transmission delay, storable user sets or an optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply are coming with this CMOS camera on top. The MXG03 is an addition to the present eight camera models in the MXG series and will be available in monochrome and color.
