STEMMER IMAGING

The Piranha HS delivers the ultimate in sensitivity for a monochrome CCD line scan camera with up to 256 TDI (Time Delay Integration) stages. Sensors with either 4096, 6000, 8192 or 12,000 pixels line width are available to cover a large area of applications. As an example, the fastest model reaches a line frequency of 142 kHz at 6000 pixels.

At the same time, the TDI technology provides up to 100 times more responsiveness than traditional line scan cameras. This responsiveness can increase the depth of field, by allowing the lens to be stopped down, or permit the use of diffuse, low-light illumination coupled with a high line rate.

All models are bi-directional, making them ideal in conveyor belt applications that can reverse direction.
