WATERLOO, Ontario - October 12, 2011 - Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and a global leader in machine vision technology, today announced its new Falcon2 high performance area scan camera series. The new Falcon2 series is comprised of three high performance models, including the 12M model, which delivers the industry's highest resolution in its category. The Falcon2 incorporates the company's latest CMOS imaging technology making these cameras ideal for more detailed inspection of objects in a shorter amount of time. Typical applications include automated optical inspection (AOI) for electronics manufacturing, semiconductor wafer inspection, flat panel display inspection, as well as solar panel inspection.
The Falcon2 series delivers fast frame rates, excellent image quality, and true global shutter operation. Unique to the machine vision market, our 8M and 12M Falcon2 cameras come with selectable aspect ratio. All three models are mechanically rugged and are thermally stable and thus do not require external heat sinks. The Falcon2 cameras come with embedded image processing, including FFC correction and sensor cosmetics enhancement. The Falcon2 series includes:
"Our Falcon cameras are known for producing high quality images of fast-moving objects without smear or distortion," said Behnam Rashidian, Senior Product Manager at Teledyne DALSA. "With the new Falcon2 series, Teledyne DALSA has delivered even greater resolution and speed while improving image quality as well."
