High speed and precise colour data reproduction - best in market

Offering higher colour fidelity than any other progressive scan camera currently available
The AT-030MCL is a member of JAI's Apex series of prism-based colour cameras, which have been designed for applications that need both the precise colour information made possible by 3CCD technology as well as a high frame rate, suitable for high-speed, automated colour sorting or print inspections.

The AT-030MCL has three 0.3 megapixel 3-CCD colour progressive scan sensors and runs at up to 120 frames-per-second with full resolution.

Advanced 3CCD colour technology
The AT-030MCL targets applications requiring a combination of moderate (VGA) resolution, fast frame rates, and precise colour data reproduction and is particularly well-suited to the pharmaceutical and printing industry where there is a need for high precision inspection of colour tablets or print at high speeds.

Besides pharmaceutical and print applications, the AT-030MCL is also suitable for LED diode inspection, PCB inspection, Food inspetion and other high-speed inspection projects where there is a need to detect items with very subtle colour variations.

How it works
The camera is equipped with three 1/3" CCDs providing higher colour image fidelity and better spatial resolutions than cameras based on traditional Bayer colour interpolation techniques.

With its built-in 3CCD technology, the AT-030MCL captures a specific red, green and blue colour value for each pixel. The three CCD sensors deliver 659 (h) x 494 (v) pixels of resolution per channel and the camera operates at 120 frames per second at full resolution. With the use of partial scan and binning modes even higher frame rates can be obtained.

A wide range of pre-set options and programmable functionality is provided to support diverse application requirements. An interesting and unique feature common to all Jai Apex series cameras is its ability to independently control the exposure time for each of the R, G, and B channels. Due to optical and silicon sensor characteristics the blue channel is the least sensitive and so is conventionally "gained-up" in the camera, producing a noisier image. The AT-030MCL and Apex series cameras allow the exposure time of the blue channel to be set longer than the R,G channels and so compensate for its low sensitivity without the need for extra gain, resulting in a much lower noise image with better colour fidelity.

Dual Camera Link interfaces permit 8, 10, or 12-bit output per channel using a Camera Link base or medium configuration and full 36-bit RGB colour output.

Key features

• Based on prism-block technology for supreme image fidelity • 8-bit RGB output via single port Camera Link. 10-bit or 12-bit via dual port
• Allows very precise colour detection • Ideal for applications requiring fast speed with high-quality colour data
• Individually controllable exposure for R, G, & B channels • 659 (h) x 494 (v) active pixels per colour channel
• A wide range of preset options and programmable shutter and exposure modes • Vertical binning for higher sensitivity and frame rate
• Chromatic shading reduction permits wider choice of lenses • Excellent price/performance ratio
 
 
Ampoules can be inspected for correct fill level, foreign particles and colour correctness of the content
 
Optimising quality, safety, production-line efficiency and minimizing recall costs
 
Ideal for print applications where there is a need to look at "fixed spots" to control that the colour is 100% compliant
