Featuring the Sony IMX250MZR 12.3-megapixel polarization sensor, the exo253ZGE GigE Vision camera detects and filters angles of polarization from light that has been reflected, refracted or scattered, enhancing contrast and improving identification of unwanted deficiencies. It detects invisible defects, scratches, residual stress, and the presence of transparent objects.
The camera benefits a range of applications including the analysis of carbon fibers, detecting tensions in glass caused by stress, the uncovering of hidden properties in highly reflective or transparent objects or where contrast enhancement is required between hard to distinguish single-color materials.
Equipped with a four-directional polarization square filter array, the camera measures the degree of polarization and the planes of polarization from a single image. Its high resolution and powerful global shutter, along with its optical dynamics and 23.5 frames-per-second (fps) speed, helps it achieve detailed structural analysis of glass, film, plastic packaging, and CFRP, among other difficult to image objects. Rounding out the feature set are LUT, ROI, Burst Mode, binning, an integrated 4-channel strobe controller, and an industrial TTL-24V I/O interface with SafeTrigger, logic functions, programmable sequencers and timers, and RS232.
The exo253ZGE is engineered for industrial environments and is housed in an IP40-rated milled aluminum body able to withstand operating temperatures up to 140°F (60°C).
