Falcon HG series: new DALSA cameras packed with features that provide numerous customer benefits

DALSA's pursuit of excellence in their camera manufacture is empitomised by the new family of monochrome cameras: the Falcon VGA300 HG; the Falcon 1M120HG and the Falcon 1.4100 HG. All are incredibly fast, highly-responsive cameras, the VGA300 HG delivering 300 fps, and all three cameras being optimized for high sensitivity. High responsivity allows more products to be inspected in a shorter time.

All use DALSA’s patented CMOS sensor technology to deliver global shuttering, global reset, and concurrent integration and readout and images produced are crisp and clear, avoiding image artifacts associated with rolling shutter.

These cameras use DALSA CMOS technology for low power consumption enabling them to be compliant with Power over Camera Link (PoCL) standards. Consequently, cabling needs are simplified and camera costs are lowered because only one compact mini-CameraLink interface cable to provide power and obtain images from the camera is needed.

Where can I use the DALSA Falcon HG cameras?

By combining high frame rates, good image quality and multiple resolutions the Falcon HG cameras are well suited for applications in electronics inspection, semiconductor inspection, industrial metrology (gauging) flat panel inspection, print inspection (registration control) and other general machine vision applications.
