Advanced Line Scan Cameras Win Gold in Vision Systems Design 2015 Innovators Awards Program
Piranha4 Multispectral camera and its Piranha XL 16k camera were recognized among the best in the industry by the judges of the Vision Systems Design 2015 Innovators Awards program.
Waterloo, Ontario - March 27, 2015 - Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision components and solutions, announced today that its Piranha4 Multispectral camera and its Piranha XL 16k camera were recognized among the best in the industry by the judges of the Vision Systems Design 2015 Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of esteemed experts from system integrator and end-user companies.
"On behalf of the Vision Systems Design Innovator Awards, I would like to congratulate Teledyne DALSA on their Gold awards," said Vision Systems Design Group Publisher Alan Bergstein. "This competitive, unbiased program celebrates the most innovative products and services in the vision and image processing industry. The team at Teledyne DALSA should be very proud."
Teledyne DALSA received two Gold level awards for the following:
Piranha4 Multispectral Quadlinear Camera
Based on Teledyne DALSA's unique line scan CMOS sensor architecture, the Piranha4 line scan cameras deliver the highest line rates in the industry with outstanding signal-to-noise performance. The Piranha4 Multispectral camera provides independent RGB+NIR outputs using wafer level coated interference filter technology. In the print inspection industry, many system designers today use one color camera to inspect color images and a separate NIR camera to inspect security inks. This complicates the design and significantly increases the cost of these systems. With The Piranha4 multispectral camera, system designers can use a single camera, dramatically simplifying system design while reducing costs.
Piranha XL 16k Camera
The new Piranha XL 16k uses a 12 line CMOS image sensor to achieve both high responsivity and exposure control in a small form factor. With a max line rate of 125kHz at full 16k/5um resolution the camera can operate in either 4, 8, or 12 line mode using the next generation Camera Link HS interface that delivers over 2 GByte/sec data throughput with a single cable. Piranha XL 16k is the first CMOS TDI camera that offers speed, resolution, and responsivity comparable to CCD Time Delay and Integration (TDI) devices.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
