Area scan cameras 

Area scan cameras: precise 2D imaging

Area scan cameras are widely used for quality inspection, measurement applications, and process optimization across different industries. These cameras capture a complete 2D image in a single shot, making them ideal for stationary or slow-moving objects.

We offer a broad range of area scan cameras from renowned brands such as Zebra, SVS Vistek, Basler, HIKROBOT, and SONY. Of course, we are happy to help you select the right area scan camera for your application.

How does an area scan camera work?

An area scan camera uses a matrix of light-sensitive sensors to capture a rectangular 2D image in a single exposure. This makes it well-suited for image acquisition and detailed inspection of relatively slow-moving or stationary objects.

Easy to configure and delivering high-quality images, this type of digital camera enables precise inspection for a wide variety of applications. Different models are available, offering specific resolutions, frame rates, and interfaces.

Key features of area scan cameras:

• Wide range of resolutions – from low to high megapixels for accurate image analysis
• Various frame rates – from 10 to 1000 fps, depending on the speed of your process
• Mono, color, and SWIR – for different light and spectrum analyses
