PROGRESSIVE SCAN CAMERA MODULE

XC-55 XC-55BB

Component/OEM
(One piece) (Remote head)

OUTLINE

The ultra-compact XC-55 and XC-55BB monochrome camera which has a progressive scan CCD to provide full frame images. The XC55BB is a remote head camera module of the XC-55. The square remote head of the XC-55BB has a precisely installed CCD to ensure accurate alignment and the miniature size allow access to very contained spaces. The CCD uses square pixels most suitable for machine vision. The square pixels of the CCD ensure resolution in equal in both horizontal and vertical axis and nagates the use of dimension correction for image processing. The XC-55 and XC-55BB models are more compact and lightweight than conventional cameras and can be used in a wide range of image processing applications.

LOCATION OF PARTS & OPERATION
Lens mount (C mount) A commercial C mount lens as well as the Sony standard lens can be used. Camera fixing reference hole High-precision screw hole machined on the lens mount surface. The reference hole can suppress the shift of an optical axis to the minimum. Screw hole for tripod adaptor installation (VCT-333I/55I) 12Pin Multiconnector The 12Pin multiconnector is connected to a DC IN/SYNC (DC power/sync signal input) CCXC-12Pxxx cable.

C mount standard

NF mount standard
Lens mount (NF mount) Mount standard with flange back of 12 mm developed by Sony. The lens mount can also be converted into a C mount. (LO-999CMT) Signal switch 1N: Outputs all pixel data of a CCD continuously in 1/30 seconds. 1 l : Outputs all pixel data of a CCD in 1/60 seconds x 2. The output display appears on the monitor as interlacing of 2:1. Gain switch A: Outputs a fixed level of image according to the brightness of asubject. (Variable range: 0 to 18 dB) F: Fixed gain 0 dB The highest S/N ratio can be obtained. M: Variable gain (manual) At the factory, the variable gain is adjusted to the fixed sensitivity for a standard subject. An image in the same level can be obtained when two or more XC-55/55BB are used for an identical subject. The gain can be changed in the range of 0 to 18 dB when the gain switch is set to "M".

SHUTTER FUNCTIONS & RESTARTRESET MODE

Normal Shutter Modes

The normal shutter modes allow the capture of fast moving objects by continuously operating the electronic shutter.

SWITCH 1

SHUTTER SPEED OFF 1/100sec. 1/250sec. 1/500sec. 1/1000sec. 1/2000sec. 1/4000sec.

Trigger Shutter Modes(E-DONPISHA

IN mode & 1I mode

A fast moving object can be captured an a precise position by an external trigger input. The shutter speed can be set by adding constant storage time ( 8 sec) to the trigger pulse width supplied by the control system. The shutter speed is automatically switched to the normal state by a trigger pulse or width more than 1/3 seconds. Applying a VD signal immediately (more than 140 sec.) after the completion of strage provides the faster shutter speed operation.

These new cameras expand the range of products in Sonys progressive scan and high-frame rate, compact camera line up!

FEATURES

Introducing the newest additions to Sonys B/W progressive scan camera offerings the XC-HR57, XC-HR58, and XC-56. Designed with the same compact and robust body, these cameras are easily interchangeable and are a snap to install even in space restricted areas. The XC-HR57 incorporates a 1/2 Progressive Scan IT CCD with VGA resolution of 640 x 480 at 60 full frames/sec (120 binned frames/sec.). The XC-HR58 incorporates a 1/2 Progressive Scan IT CCD with SVGA resolution of 767 x 580 at 50 full frames/ sec (100 binned frames/sec.). The XC-56 features a 1/3 Progressive Scan IT CCD with square pixels and VGA resolution of 659 x 494 at a speed of 30 full frames/sec. for compatibility with slower vision systems using Sony XC-55 cameras. The XC-HR50 and XC-HR70 cameras incorporate a 1/3 Progressive Scan IT CCD providing high-resolution images at high frame rates. The XC-HR50 features VGA resolution of 648 x 494 at a speed of 60 full frames/sec., and the XC-HR70 features XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 at a speed of 29 full frames/sec. In addition, the XC-HR camera series feature a high scanning function that increases their vertical scanning frequency so that images can be captured up to 120 - 240 frames/sec. Combing high-resolution and high-speed image-capture capabilities with a compact, robust body, these cameras are ideal for demanding inspection applications such as semiconductor production and high-speed assembly lines.
