JAI introduced the Spark Series SP-25000-CXP4A, a new 26-megapixel high performance industrial area scan camera capable of providing full resolution images at 150 frames per second. The new camera is available in monochrome and Bayer color versions which are equipped with four-channel CoaXPress v2.0 interfaces capable of providing data transfer at the fastest rate currently supported by the CoaXPress standard – 12.5 Gbps per lane (50 Gbps total).
With its combination of high resolution, high frame rate, and C-mount optical format, the SP-25000-CXP4 is designed to provide an upgrade path for customers using older 12-megapixel or 16-megapixel cameras in applications like automated optical inspection (AOI) or solder paste inspection (SPI) on printed circuit boards, as well as high-speed medical slide scanning, aerial imaging, and other applications where resolution and high frame rates are critical factors. By delivering higher resolution images while maintaining frame rates, which are comparable to the fastest 16-megapixel cameras, these new cameras enable builders of these types of inspection systems to achieve detailed inspections over large areas with fewer cameras or fewer image captures, providing better throughput at lower system costs.
