Mightex - Model TCx-1024-U -USB2.0 Machine Vision 1024-Pixel CCD 8/12-Bit Line Camera with External Trigger
Mightex’s TCx-1024-U series line camera is a high-speed cost-effective high-performance machine vision monochrome line-scan CCD camera, based on a single-line, 1024-pixel CCD chip with USB2.0 (480 Mb/s) interface. CCD line cameras have several advantages over their area-array counterparts, including high optical linear resolution that allows systems developers to use the cameras to capture two-dimensional (2-D) images by moving the object or the CCD perpendicularly to the scan line. The TCx-1024-U is a compact linear camera ideal for a variety of OEM applications in industry process control, optics, biology, spectroscopy and reflection imaging. Setting up the TCX-1024-U line camera is very easy, the user simply installs the latest version of the operating software onto any desktop or notebook PC and then connects the USB cable from the line camera to the PC. There is no need for installing a DAC card, or using an external power supply.
