Designed to target solar cell inspection applications
where sensitivity in the near-infrared region is
critical, this model of the HS TDI line scan
family of cameras also provides cost-effective, high- performance
solutions for low light imaging with large resolutions and unmatched
throughput.
The Piranha HS 8K NIR, 34kHzmodel delivers line rates up to 34
kHz and a throughput up to 320 MPixels/sec. Camera configuration
is extremely flexible and the number of Camera Link taps, throughput,
and line rate are all software controlled.
These cameras are capable of bidirectionality with up to 256x TDI
stages, and prevent overexposure with proven 100x antiblooming.
This high sensitivity NIR camera extends Teledyne DALSA’s
industry leading high sensitivity product line and provides solutions
for imaging in the near-infrared wavelengths from 700 nm to 1050
nm.

|
• Solar cell inspection |
• PCB / Electronics
inspection |
• Large web applications |
• Food and drug

Benefits and key features
|
Can displace expensive
InGaAs cameras with a silicon based camera
|
• Line Rate
– 34kHz |
The fast line rate can
be utilized because the responsivity is very high. A regular linescan
camera would have to be run more slowly in order to have a long enough
exposure time. |
• High resolution |
Can displace multiple InGaAs cameras with
one Piranha HS NIR camera |
• Antiblooming |
Excellent antiblooming
– maintains image quality when parts of the image are overexposed |
|
• Bi-directional |
Enables serpentine inspection which reduces
system costs |
• Flat-field correction |
Excellent image quality
– corrects for any sensor relative issues with respect to fixed
pattern noise and pixel response non-uniformity |
• Area mode of operation |
Camera can be quickly aligned to the web
by focusing on the web and using the camera in area mode operation
(no need for the web to be moving to focus the camera properly) |
• NIR response |
Imaging in the near-infrared wavelengths
from 700 nm to 1050 nm |

What is TDI technology?
TDI is a method of line scanning which provides dramatically increased
responsivity compared to other video scanning methods. It permits much greater
scanning speeds in low light, or allows reduced lighting levels (and costs)
at conventional speeds. TDI is based on the concept of accumulating multiple
exposures of the same (moving) object, effectively increasing the integration
time available to collect incident light. As an object moves under each
of the 256x lines the charge from that object is added to the previous line
so that a total of 256X charges for that object have been accumulated. The
object motion must be synchronized with the exposures to ensure a crisp
image. Read
