Mightex’s TCN/TCE-1209-U series are cost-effective, high-performance, monochrome line CCD cameras with external trigger, based on a single-line, 2048-pixel, 12 bit CCD chip with USB2.0 (480 Mbit/s) interface. These compact linear cameras are ideal for a variety of OEM applications in industry process control, optics, biology, spectroscopy and reflection imaging – available as “naked” board-level device (TCN-1209-U) or pre-mounted in an enclosure (TCE-1209-U), also in a windowless version (TCE-1209-UW) with the glass window removed from the image sensor.
CCD line cameras have several advantages over their area-array counterparts, including the high optical linear resolution that allows systems developers to use the cameras to capture two-dimensional (2-D) images by moving the object or the CCD perpendicularly to the scan line.
Setting up the TCN/TCE-1209-U line cameras is very easy: the user simply installs the application software (included in the shipping package) and then connects the line camera to the PC using a USB cable. There is no need to install a DAC card, and no external power supply is required. A full-featured SDK and a Linux driver are also available.
Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.
