Sony is expanding its Camera LinkTM family with the introduction of the XCL-5005 (B/W) and XCL-5005CR (Color) Digital Cameras for demanding industrial-inspection applications. Both the XCL-5005 and XCL-5005CR cameras
incorporate a 2/3-type progressive scan IT CCD that produces ultra-high resolution images of over 5,000,000 effective pixels at 15 fps. In addition, these cameras employ the standard Camera Link interface,which is switchable to PoCL (Power over Camera Link) enabling users to simplify connections to various machine-vision systems. These cameras are compatible with standard C-mount lenses adding to their cost-effectiveness.

The XCL-5005 and XCL-5005CR feature a multitude of functions useful in machine-vision applications, such as vertical and horizontal partial scanning, built-in real-time hardware pre-processing, and flexible high-speed outputs. These robust cameras are highly resistant to shock and vibration which is
essential for machine-vision applications. These feature-rich, ultra-high resolution digital cameras capture clear, fast moving objects or still images in low light environments. They are an ideal solution for today’s wide range
of industrial machine vision applications such as semiconductors, electronic display and large part inspection, and bio-science/microscopy applications.
