Experience unmatched speed and image quality with the Sonic TDI line scan camera

Achieve the highest throughput and exceptional image quality with the Sonic 1MHz TDI line scan camera, engineered for demanding high-end optical inspection applications.

Sonic sets a new benchmark in TDI imaging, combining a resolution of 8k columns with a line rate of 1MHz. Its backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor features 256 TDI stages, delivering faster and more accurate image acquisition even under challenging lighting conditions. Users can leverage all 256 stages at the 1MHz line rate with 10-bit grayscale resolution, ensuring superior image quality and sensitivity.

For a seamless system integration, the Sonic camera connects effortlessly to the GenICam compliant Apollo frame grabber via a CLHS optical fiber interface. A single frame grabber supports the camera’s full performance, while the data forwarding support enables flexible distributed processing architectures.

For specialized applications, a DUV-enhanced version is available, offering enhanced sensitivity at 266nm and 355nm, while maintaining outstanding performance across the visible spectrum.

Speak with our experts today to discover how the Sonic TDI line scan camera can elevate your inspection system to new levels of speed, accuracy, and reliability.
