In the growing market of Surface Vision and Machine Vision solutions, image quality, high resolution and ease of integration are becoming more and more important success factors.

For several decades, Mitsubishi Electric has been the worldwide leading supplier of CMOS chip-based Contact Image Sensors (CIS) for professional image capture. These sensors, also known as Mitsubishi Electric Line Scan Bars, feature not only highest image quality, resolution and line rate, but also a very compact design ideal for integration in machines or mechanical devices. Our Line Scan Bar is a great alternative to well-known line scan cameras, and it also offers a whole series of additional benefits. 

Due to it unique design, it incorporates all important components of a complete Image Acquisition System, the sensor, the optics and the illumination. All pre-calibrated to keep the tasks before start-up to a minimum. Another stand- alone feature is the telecentric viewing angle based on the fact that the sensor is slightly wider than the web that is scanned. A telecentric view means no distortions towards the outside edges and highest precision for measuring tasks.

Thanks to its easy installation, any replacement of the Line Scan Bar that is required can be done by the in-house technicians. There are no costs for deployment of service staff, which means enormous savings potential for the end-user and the system integrator or machine manufacturer.
