Basler ace 2 a2A2840-48umUV Camera

Highlights

The Basler ace 2 a2A2840-48umUV is a compact monochrome UV area scan camera designed for machine vision applications that require imaging beyond the visible spectrum. Featuring the Sony IMX487-AAMJ-C UV CMOS global shutter sensor, this camera captures ultraviolet image data in the 0.2 µm to 0.4 µm spectral range. As a result, inspection systems can 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 USB 3.0 interface, the a2A2840-48umUV provides high-resolution UV imaging with practical high-speed integration. Its 48 fps frame rate, global shutter performance, C-mount lens interface, USB3 Vision support, 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.
