Precise image geometry.
•
On the CCD image sensor, the photosensor elements form exact rows both horizontally and
vertically so that a very precise image geometry may be obtained.
Low lag/high resistance to image burning.
•
Since the CCD is highly resistant to image burning, the camera may be exposed to bright objects
for a long period of time. Because a "smear" phenomena may occur when shooting a very bright
object, an infrared cutoff filter is recommended to obtain a clear picture.
AGC selection, manual gain control and gamma adjustment.
•
These adjustments, which are particularly important in vision system applications, are externally
adjustable via switches on the rear plate.
Genlock circuit.
•
A genlock circuit is built in to accept external sync for applications in which external sync is
required.
High resistance to magnetic field and vibration/mechanical shock.
•
Due to its ruggedized design, the CCD imager can withstand strong vibration and shock with little
or no noise appearing in the picture. Since the TM-200/TM-300 is not influenced by a magnetic
field, it will produce stable images even when placed next to objects such as electric furnaces,
welding machines or NMR scanners.
Quick start-up and low power consumption.
•
No more than 2 seconds is needed for the TM-200/TM-300 to warm up, and shooting can begin
within a second after turning on the camera. The power consumption is only 3.0W. This makes the
camera excellent for use with battery operated systems.
Three Year Warranty
•
The CCD solid state image sensor allows the camera to maintain a superior performance level
indefinitely while requiring virtually no maintenance. PULNiX backs all of the TM Series cameras
with a three-year warranty.
Warning: Unscrewing the camera cover or opening the camera in any way
will void this warranty.
