The LT-400CL is a prism-based colour line scan cameras built around a series of three custom-designed CMOS linear sensors.

Key features
It features three, high-performance CMOS, prism-mounted sensors, each with 4096 (4K) pixels. outputting 4K line resolution at 16,180 lines per second while maintaining image quality at a signal-to-noise ratio of 55 dB or higher.

The single optical plane of the prism-based design eliminates off-angle viewing problems, complicated alignments, and other issues that often create issues with tri-linear camera alternatives.

Typical of JAI’s multi-imager colour cameras, the dichroic coatings on the prism boundaries provide steep spectral curves which minimize colour “crosstalk” and so provide superior colour precision compared with tri-linear or dual-line colour solutions. These hard dichroic coatings also don’t suffer the degradation of the soft polymer dye filters on the other types of sensors consequently giving accurate color performance over a longer product life span.

Application
The sub-pixel sensor alignment delivers precise colour values for each pixel, making the camera ideal for web-based inspections where accurate color information is required.
