LC3000

In the LC3000-series analog line scan camera, PerkinElmer has combined the best features of photodiode array detection, high-speed charge-coupled scanning, and analog line scan camera technology to offer an uncompromising solution to the increasing demands of advanced imaging applications.

The LC3000-series is a high performance, low-cost, analog line scan camera line. The LC3000-series features a differential driver analog video output with resolutions of 512, 1024 or 2048 pixels, which can achieve data rates of up to 20 MHz with exceptional noise immunity. They are designed for volume applications where small size and low cost are required.

In order to allow the user to compensate for variations in illumination found in "real-world" application environments, the cameras feature adjustable gain and offset levels. The LC3000-series cameras feature a geometrically precise photodiode CCD image sensor with 14m square photoelements. State of the art electronic design enables the LC3000-series to deliver consistent, reliable performance while the sturdy metal housing provides maximum protection in a variety of harsh environment and factory floor conditions.

The LC3000-series cameras convert light imaged during a scene into an analog video signal. The amplitude of the video signal is a linear function of the incident illumination taken from the scene. Antiblooming structures within the sensor ensure superior performancem over a wide range of lighting conditions. User-defined control is possible for line rate, integration time and video data rate.

LC3000 cameras may be interfaced to most frame grabber cards, allowing for a tested, plug and play solution.

Typical high performance line scanapplications include lumber processing, parcel scanning, non-contact measurement, document scanning, dimensional gauging, biomedical imaging, bar code scanning and many other industrial and scientific applications.
