ace Series
Especially small, low priced, high performance, and perfect for replacing analog cameras
The Basler ace family offers a unique combination of extremely high performance and low cost in a small 42 mm x 29 mm x 29 mm housing. With a starting price of only 299 € and a design targeted for industrial, medical, and traffic applications, you can enjoy a new class of digital cameras that will help you to be even more successful at what you do.
With a 29 mm x 29 mm housing, the Basler ace has the same dimensions as most analog cameras. This makes the transition from analog to digital camera technology especially easy. To guarantee mechanical compatibility, we have designed the camera mounting points to match those on many popular analog cameras. In addition many similarly sized Camera Link and FireWire cameras can easily be replaced by the Basler ace.
Basler ace GigE models
With the Basler ace, you get our bundled, long term experience with GigE. You will get a camera with a strictly cost-oriented design and with Basler’s traditional high quality.
- Resolutions from VGA to 5 MP
- Max. capture rate of 100 fps
- A variety of CCD and CMOS sensors
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) support
- Up to 100 meter cable lengths for maximum flexibility
Basler ace Camera Link models
Camera Link cameras with a very small size are now more powerful than ever. Basler ace cameras offer you clear advantages compared to classic Camera Link models with respect to housing size, weight, power consumption, temperature, and pixel output per second.
- 2 and 4 MP CMOSIS sensors
- Max. capture rate of 340 fps
- Power over Camera Link (PoCL) support
- Combination of the widest bandwidth and the maximum speed
- Minimum delay and jitter times for applications requiring the strictest timing
- Compatibility with all common frame grabbers (base, medium, or full configuration)
