Sony : Product Information : XC-EI50 (XCEI50) : United Kingdom

XC-EI50Small lightweight monochrome analog infraredsensitive machine vision video camera (near-infrared1/2” EIA)Small size. Big performance.The XC-EI50/CE and XC-EI30/CE incorporate thelatest 1/2 type and 1/3 type Interline (IT) CCD withnear-infrared sensitivity. Sony surface mount technologyresults in an ultra compact, rugged unit thatprovides high quality images.IR lighting has become very popular in machine visionapplications. When used with an IR LED illuminator,these cameras can capture clear images because oftheir sensitivity at infrared wavelengths. In additionthe XC-EI Series camera modules have high overallsensitivity. This makes them suitable for low light environmentsas well as for special IR lighting conditions.A single standard 12-pin connector provides control ofinput/output signals as well as power.The recommended camera adaptor for these units isthe compact and lightweight DC-700/CE.FeaturesLatest interline CCDsXC-ES50/CE and XC-EI50/CE utilise 1/2" IT CCD, XC-ES30/CE and XC-EI30/CE utilise 1/3" IT CCD ofSony’s latest interline technology.Miniature sizeThe XC-ES and XC-EI Series come in a very small (29(W) x 29 (H) x 32 (D) mm) and lightweight package(only 60 g).High sensitivity and S/N RatioThe cameras offer high sensitivity (at F1.4: XC-ES50/CE and XC-ES30/CE: 0.3 lx; XC-EI50/CE: 0.1 lx; XC-EI30/CE: 0.2 lx) and S/N Ratio ( 60 dB).Infrared capabilityXC-EI50/CE and XC-EI30/CE models offer extendedsensitivity in near-infrared (650 to 1000 nm) range.Flexible functionsThe XC-ES and XC-EI Series offer many flexible features,such as flexible trigger shutter functions, 2:1interlace/non-interlace, frame/field exposure, restart/reset function, readout on command, internal/external(HD/VD, VS) synchronisation, camera settings thatcan be made at the rear panel and many more.Standard interfacingSystem integration is easy because of the miniaturesize, C mount, EIAJ standard 12-pin connector, singlecable solution for signal and power, single DC 12Vpower supply requirement and low power consumptionof only 1.6/1.4 W (1/2 type / 1/3 type).Rugged constructionThe XC-ES and XC-EI Series offer excellent vibrationand shock tolerance ( 10G (20 ~ 200 Hz) / 70G ) anda very impressive 125,000 hours MTBF.BenefitsOpen-up new possibilitiesProcess control and inspection applications that couldnot be done because of size and weight limitationsnow can. These cameras can provide an economicalalternative for most remote camera-head applications.Mounted on fast moving machine parts thesecameras no longer restrict machine performance andoffer a competitive edge to OEMs.VersatileThe XC-ES and XC-EI Series offer high sensitivity using1/2" and 1/3" IT CCD with HAD technology, flexibletrigger shutter function (including simple triggerwith internally generated VD) and many other features.When used with an IR LED illuminator, the XC-EI50/CE and XC-EI30/CE can capture images in verylow light environments and/or easily detect featuresthat are more distinguishable in IR illumination.Easy to install and operateThe compact size makes these cameras very easy toinstall in tight places. All camera control switches areaccessible from the outside of the camera. Industrystandard C-mount, one cable solution (EIAJ standard)for signal and power, easy interchange between modules,low power consumption that generates less heatwww.pro.sony.eu/vision 1
