Schäfter + Kirchhoff GmbH • Hamburg
The SK line scan camera series is designed for both wide
range of vision and inspection applications in industrial
and scientific environments. The SK22368GTOC-LA, a
camera of the GigE series, uses the Gigabit Ethernet
communication protocol, enabling fast image transfer
using low cost standard cables up to distances of 100 m.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface makes the line scan
cameras highly scalable to faster Ethernet speeds,
distinguishing them with high performance and total
flexibility.
All of the GigE cameras from Schäfter+Kirchhoff are
externally synchronizable and no grabber board is
needed as signal preprocessing is performed inside the
camera and does not impinge on CPU use.
Additional features include:
• customer-specific I/O signals in addition to the video
signal
• special preprocessing algorithms can be imple-
mented in the camera
• consistent attribution of camera IDs in multi-camera
operations
• SDK from Schäfter+Kirchhoff with the SkLineScan
operating program, libraries and examples.
The camera can be connected to a computer either via
the GigE socket directly or through a Gigabit Ethernet
switch.
Once the camera driver and the SkLineScan® program
have been loaded from the SK91GigE-WIN CD then the
camera can be parameterized. Parameters such as
integration time, synchronization mode or shading
correction are permanently stored in the camera even
after a power down or disconnection from the PC.
The oscilloscope display in the SkLineScan® program
can be used to adjust the focus and aperture settings, for
evaluating field flattening of the lens and for orientation
of the illumination and the sensor, see 3.1 Software:
SkLineScan, p. 11.
