📋 Tender Overview
Basler is expanding its ace 2 camera series with 24 models featuring the Sony Pregius S sensors IMX540 IMX541 and IMX542. The combination of small pixel size backside-illuminated structure BSI and global shutter summarizes the most important new features of Sonys 4th generation sensors. With 16 to 24 megapixels the new ace 2 Basic and ace 2 Pro models maximize the possible resolution in a C-mount format.The new camera models are equipped with the following sensors from Sonys Pregius S SeriesIMX540 with 24 megapixel resolution 5328 x 4608 pixelsIMX541 with 20 megapixel resolution 4512 x 4512 pixels andIMX542 with 16 megapixel resolution 5320 x 3040 pixels.Depending on resolution and interface USB 3.0 GigE the cameras deliver frame rates of 4 to 23 frames per second.Price advantage due to high number of small pixels and reduced hardwareOur customers benefit in three ways The strengths of the price-optimized ace 2 Basic and the powerful ace 2 Pro coupled with the innovative new features in Sonys latest sensor generation have a direct impact on productivity price and precision explains Michael Rieck Product Manager for Baslers ace 2 camera series. The small pixels and compact sensor size meet the need for high-resolution cameras in spatially limited environments for example in embedded vision systems. At the same time hardware costs can be reduced for example by having one 24 MP camera replace two 12 MP cameras emphasizes Rieck.High resolution no motion artifactsThe combination of BSI and Global Shutter in particular is new and innovative in technological terms it ensures recordings without any motion artifacts even at high speeds.Thanks to the modified pixel architecture of Sonys backside-illuminated structure the light sensitivity of the sensor remains at a similarly high level as with sensors of previous generations even with the significantly smaller pixel size of 2.74 m. The higher number of small pixels on the sensor surface increases the resolving power up to 24 megapixels - in combination with a suitable lens from Baslers accessories portfolio even the smallest details can be seen more precisely. This takes into account the trend toward miniaturization of components and allows a very low price per megapixel resolution.
