Line scan cameras are semiconductor cameras used in many industrial environments e.g. for machine vision applications. The single photosensitive line sensor contains –  depending on type – up to 22800 picture elements (pixels). Light energy incident on the sensor is transformed into an electric signal for digitization within the camera. At 8-bit resolution, the A/D converter transmits the output voltage of each pixel into one of 256 brightness levels, at 12-bit  resolution into 4096 brightness levels. Color line scan cameras provide three separate line signals for Red, Green and Blue with either 3 x 8-bit or 3 x 12-bit per pixel. The digitized output signal is transfered to a  computer.

The laser diode beam sources series 13LR/13LRM and 13LN/13LNM produce laser lines with a fan angle and approx. uniform intensity distribution along the laser line.

The laser diode beam sources series 5LM/5LMM and 5LP/5LPM produce laser lines with a fan angle and Gaussian intensity distribution along the laser line.
