Basler ace 2 a2A2840-14gmUV Camera

Highlights

The Basler ace 2 a2A2840-14gmUV is a compact monochrome UV area scan camera designed for machine vision applications that require imaging beyond the visible spectrum. Featuring the Sony IMX487 UV CMOS global shutter sensor, this camera captures ultraviolet image data in the UV spectral range, allowing inspection systems to detect fine surface features, material differences, security markings, and defects that may not be visible with standard cameras.

With 8.1 MP resolution, a 2840 x 2840 image size, 2.74 µm pixels, and a GigE interface, the a2A2840-14gmUV provides high-resolution UV imaging with straightforward Ethernet-based integration. Its 14 fps frame rate, global shutter performance, C-mount lens interface, GigE Vision support, PoE capability, and compact ace 2 housing make it well suited for wafer inspection, material sorting, security inspection, solar inspection, electronics inspection, and OEM machine vision applications.
