Basler
Modular board level camera
With the 'dart M', Basler is launching a customizable board-level camera with GigE interface that adapts to the installation situation and existing electronics of the customer application thanks to its modularity and design.
Starting with the camera module, users decide on the sensor, the distance between the sensor and the Ethernet socket, the power supply and the lens connection. The GigE interface offers additional flexibility. When connecting to the host system, it enables long cable lengths and single and dual cable solutions. It also simplifies the setup of multi-camera systems. The camera module is currently available with Sony Pregius sensors in VGA (IMX287), 1.6 MP (IMX273) and 2.3 MP (IMX392) resolutions. Flat Flex Cables are available in three lengths to connect it to the interface board. The spatial separation allows users to save space at the image capture location. They also have the flexibility to decide on the orientation of the interface board, which is available in two versions. PoE (Power over Ethernet) enables a one-cable solution and AUX power enables a two-cable solution for the connection to the host system. If a lens connection is required in the customer application, S-mount, CS-mount and CS-mount with IR cut filter are available. The camera is space-saving both with and without a lens mount.
If customers want to develop their own, they can integrate the camera module into their own electronics. All other components can be selected on a modular basis. In addition to the camera, Basler provides all other hardware and software components of a vision system. Components such as lenses, lighting and GigE PC cards are compatible with each other and are supplemented by the 'pylon' software for image acquisition and 'pylon vTools' for image processing.
