AIT Presents Fast Line Scan Sensors

AIT has presented a high-speed line scan sensors at Vision Show in Stuttgart in Nov 2014. The sensor works with line-rates of 200kHz (true RGB) and 600kHz (B/W), respectively. This allows for an RGB image resolution of 0.4mm at a speed of 300km/h. The sensor can be synchronised with the inspection speed which is suitable e.g. for the detection of hair-line cracks in railway lines. Fraunhofer IMS fabricates the sensor in its 0.35µm CMOS process which is certified for automotive applications.
