JAI announced an expansion of the Go-X Series of small machine vision cameras to include 24 new global shutter camera models featuring the latest Sony Pregius S CMOS sensors. The additional models are divided into two interface groups, with 12 models having CoaXPress 2.0 interfaces and 12 models having GigE Vision (1000BASE-T) interfaces. 12 additional Go-X Series cameras featuring GigE Vision interfaces operating at 5GBASE-T speeds are planned for later this year.
Pregius S sensors feature backside illumination to support smaller pixel sizes without sacrificing sensitivity. JAI has leveraged this technology to provide customers with significantly higher resolution options while still maintaining the compact size of the Go-X Series cameras. While the Go-X Series previously offered resolutions ranging from 2.3 megapixels to 12.3 megapixels, the additional models now extend that range up to 24.5 megapixels. Yet thanks to the 2.74 µm pixel size, even the new 24.5-megapixel Go-X Series cameras have the same 29 mm x 29 mm size as the other models and a 1.2" optical format compatible with C-mount lenses. Camera lengths vary from 51.5 mm to 55 mm depending on the interface.
