Basler racer 2 r2L2048-172cm Line Scan Camera

Highlights

The Basler racer 2 r2L2048-172cm is a compact monochrome line scan camera designed for machine vision applications that require continuous inspection of moving materials, parts, webs, or production lines. Featuring the Gpixel GL3504 Monochrome Linear CMOS global shutter sensor, this racer 2 S camera delivers 2k line scan resolution with a 172 kHz line rate for high-speed inspection in space-limited industrial systems.

With 2048 pixel horizontal resolution, 7 µm pixels, and a CoaXPress CXP-12 interface, the r2L2048-172cm provides high-bandwidth image transfer while keeping the compact 29 mm x 29 mm racer 2 S form factor. Its monochrome output, global shutter performance, C-mount lens interface, Power over CoaXPress support, and Basler pylon software compatibility make it well suited for web inspection, surface inspection, packaging inspection, electronics inspection, high-speed conveyor inspection, and OEM line scan vision systems.

Features

  • Gpixel GL3504 Monochrome Linear CMOS sensor provides compact high-speed mono line scan imaging for industrial inspection tasks.
