racer Series
Outstanding price/performance ratio, high speeds, ideal housing design
The racer series offers line scan cameras with an exceptional price/performance ratio. The cameras are available with a variety of resolutions and with a GigE or a Camera Link interface. They provide high performance thanks to the newest CMOS technology. racer cameras have a compact, slim industrial housing ideally suited for multi-camera systems with many line scan cameras installed next to each other. Based on their standard width of 56 mm, they can easily replace older line scan camera models.
