The TMC-2040GE is a compact Gigabit Ethernet progressive scan colour CCD camera with UXGA resolution for high performance in industrial applications. The RMC model is identical but also complies to the ROHS hazardous substances standards. With a dual-tap front-end, the TMC-2040GE provides 34 frames per second at full resolution and higher frame rates with Binning and Area Of Interest (AOI). It also features a user selectable single-tap mode at 17 fps.

The GigE Vision interface standard ensures high bandwidth (1000 Mbps), uncompromised data transfer up to 100 meter cable lengths with the ability to connect to multiple computers. Additionally low cost cables, standard hardware and high scalability allow for cost effective machine vision and image processing applications. The TMC-2040GE offers a high Signal to Noise ratio of >58 dB. It has a patent-pending, built-in look-up table (LUT) and automatic dual channel compensation which provides fast 10-bit to 8-bit pre-processing for effective image feature enhancement. It offers tremendous flexibility in shutter speeds and scan modes including pulse-width controlled or fixed electronic shuttering up to 1/32,000 second, asynchronous reset no delay shuttering.

A user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI), provided as part of the camera's extensive Software Development Kit (SDK), allows users to control all camera functions easily. Changes to the acquisition mode of the camera automatically update the API for easy image acquisition.

With its GigE architecture, the TMC-2040GE is ideally suited for use in a very wide variety of applications where high resolution, size, performance, cost or cable length is important.
