The Brief History of Takenaka System Co.
Takenaka System Co.(Trade mark:TAKEX) is the Japan’s first company to have produced the Line scan
cameras. It was established in 1975 and began to produce and sell the Line scan cameras that year.
And then, Takenaka System Co. is continuing to produce high quality line scan cameras such as
C-MOS/ CCD Line scan cameras, CCD Analog line scan cameras, CCD Digital line scan cameras and
CCD Camera Link line scan cameras, as a pioneering company in the Japanese industry,.
Also, Takenaka System Co. began to produce the compact CCD video cameras since 1983, and is a first
producer of Progressive scan cameras for industrial use in Japan.
We think it is a mission of our company to continue to provide the high-quality Line scan cameras and
Progressive scan cameras to the industry as image input device for image processing apparatus.
We are confident that the Takenaka’s products that met the strict delivery criteria are assured of
trouble-free operation over a long period of time.

1. Outline
TLC-7300UCL is the color line scan camera with 3-lines (RGB) of 7300-pixels CCD image sensor and
has the following features.
2. Features
●Capable of performing high-resolution inspection with 7300-pixels CCD image sensor.
●The pixel size is large enough (10µm×10µm) to capture high S/N images
●The high speed operation at 120MHz data rate (Medium configuration mode) and 80MHz data rate
(Base configuration mode).
●Simplified shutter function allows the shutter to operate at 7kHz scan rate in Medium
configuration mode.
●Possible to configure various camera settings by means of serial communication via capture board.
●Equipped with Color gap correction function.
●Equipped with FFC function.
●Equipped with White balance function.
●The equipment operates with a single DC12V power source.
●Possible to get stable video signal despite a change of ambient temperature, as the dark current
correction circuit is incorporated.
●Reduction in size and weight has been realized by original design
3. CCD image sensor
Equipped with High-sensitive and high-speed CCD sensor with 7,300 effective pixels, of which pixel
size is 10μm square. Charges accumulated in single-row photo diodes are output through ODD and
EVEN analog shift registers respectively. Quad parallel shift registers make it possible to increase
transfer efficiency and to obtain high-quality images. CCD transfer frequency is 30MHz.

7-2 White balance setting
This is the function to adjust ODD/EVEN levels and to achieve white balance.
White balance should be adjusted before executing FFC function.
<Setup steps>
The gain position can be specified in white balance setting.
The gain values are set in the specified gain position.
pwb_tg=0 <CR> To set the analog gains of all RGB channels to minimum.
Minimum value = 1
pwb_set <CR> To achieve a white balance .
pwb_tg=N <CR> To set the target level of white balance.
Default value =180 N : 0 to 255
Take a defocused image of a surface of a plain white paper.
Check if it is not fogged by halation for each RGB line.
Use the stable illumination light source.
pwb_set <CR> To start to achieve a white balance.
Completed when “OK” is displayed.
save <CR> To save the settings into EEPROM.
Completed when “OK” is displayed.
<Confirmation of settings>
cfg <CR> To get the internal settings of the camera.
↑Settings before achieving a white balance.
Settings in gain position1 will be changed in this case.
White balance is achieved according to the above <Setup steps>.
cfg <CR> To get the internal settings of the camera.
Check if the gain values in the specified gain position has been definitely changed.

7-3 FFC Function setting
Flat field correction (also called Shading Correction) is a function used to compensate for shading
of an image signal arising from imperfections or inhomogeneities of lens or picture/filter elements .
<Setup steps>
1. Dark level correction
shade=0 <CR> To turn the FFC function off.
To reset the shading gain value stored in the camera.
shade=4 <CR> To permit to enter the shading data.
shd_go=1 <CR> To select the shading gain setting mode
shd_dat=0 <CR> To enter “0”as the shading gain value
shd_set <CR> To set the shading data.
shd_to=N <CR> To set the target Dark level.
Default value = 3 N : 0 to 255
Then put a cap over a lens.
shade = 6 <CR> To start the shading correction for Dark level signal.
Completed when “OK”is displayed.
2. Light level correction
Remove a lens cap and set the target gray level of video signal level.
Take a defocused image of a surface of a plain white paper.
Make the signal level adjustment by changing lens aperture or exposure time.
(Note: Make sure a foreign object does not exist within the visual field.)
shd_tg=N <CR> To set the target Light level.
Default value =150 N : 0 to 255
(Set the target Light level to the level that is higher than the
signal level before Light level correction.)
shade = 5 <CR> To start the shading correction for Light level signal.
Completed when “OK”is displayed.
Then, a flat gray image is obtained.
shd_epsv <CR> To save all shading correction values into EEPROM.
Completed when “OK”is displayed.
shade=1 <CR> To turn the shading correction function on.
save <CR> To save the system settings into EEPROM.
Completed when “OK”is displayed.
