The Brief History of Takenaka System Co. Takenaka System Co.(Trade mark:TAKEX) is the Japan’s first company to have produced the Line scan cameras. It was established in 1975 and began to produce and sell the Line scan cameras that year.
● CCD line scan camera with 7400 pixels of image sensor and of 100MHz data rate. ● TL-7400UCL adopts the video signal output format complying with Camera Link standard (Unified standard for digital camera interface for industry). ● 2×8 /10 bit digital image signal output complying with Camera Link (Base Configuration).
5 / 19 4. CCD image sensor μm square pixel, image sensor Is characterized by effective pixels and high speed performance. 7400 Charges accumulated in single-row photo diodes are divided into four groups (No.1 for ODD numbers of first half , No.2 for EVEN numbers of first half, No. 3 for ODD numbers of latter half ,No.4 for EVEN numbers of latter half ) and are output thorough four shift registers, respectively.

Though ripple-free and stable power source is preferable, the switching supply is also employable. In general, ripple voltage of a stabilized power source is approx.35mV, and approx.120mV for a switching supply.
