Basler A500 Series cameras are designed to meet today's increasing demand for area scan cameras with extremely high frame rates at megapixel resolution. At full resolution, the Basler A504k can achieve a 500 fps rate and the camera's partial scanning ability can be used to dramatically increase the frame rate. The new Camera Link™ interface used on these cameras significantly reduces the cable requirements normally associated with high speed area scan cameras and eases the complexity of system integration. A500 cameras are ideal for a variety of industrial applications including: dynamic motion inspection, 3-D holographic data storage, human motion analysis, digital archiving, manufacturing quality control, and many other vision applications.
