Scorpion Vision brings new PixeLINK cameras to the UK

PixeLINK USB 3.0 vision cameraScorpion Vision has announced that it will be bringing two innovative new PixeLINK 2.3 megapixel global shutter CMOS cameras to the UK market.

The cameras are the latest addition to the PixeLINK USB 3.0 vision camera family and use Sony’s ground-breaking IMX174 and IMX249 CMOS sensors. The innovative sensors in the PixeLINK cameras are equipped with a global shutter. This enables the sensors in the PixeLINK cameras to negate effects such as skew, wobble and smear which other CMOS sensors have been prone to.

Available in board level and enclosed camera options, both PixeLink cameras are designed to work in machine vision applications. The PixeLINK cameras are also suitable for medical imaging, biometrics and fluorescence microscopy.

Paul Wilson of Scorpion Vision says: “We are thrilled to announce that, as the main distributors of PixeLINK technology in the UK, Scorpion Vision will now be selling the two new USB 3.0 PixeLINK cameras. After Sony’s decision to cease production of CCD sensors and the introduction of these two PixeLINK cameras, this is very indicative of where our industry is headed. These superior CMOS sensors will replace the older CCD technology.”

Along with negating the negative effects previous CMOS sensors were prone to, the PixeLINK cameras also offer a much higher resolution and faster frame rate than that available in traditional CCD sensors.

Scorpion Vision is the main UK distributor of the PixeLINK USB 3.0 Camera range, which can be purchased directly from the Scorpion Vision website.
