High-Speed Camera PCE-HSC 1660

Modern industry has reached the level when a big number of highly-developed machines and equipment is involved in the manufacturing and they all are interconnected. Many processes are digitalized, complex and run extremely quickly. The smallest fault may bring to serious losses and shutdown of the system – the most undesirable for the producer situation. Thus, a lot of attention is paid to continuous monitoring and timely prevention of any troubles at the enterprise. Application of high speed cameras has become indispensable, since it helps to quickly notice and react in case any correction and change is required. High Speed camera allows taking slow motion footage and due to that, an operator can see every detail which happens during all the manufacturing stages. Nowadays the number of people present during the production process or working on the conveyor belts is getting smaller and smaller. Due to the application of the high speed camera, the processes not monitored by the human eye directly can be closely viewed from the distance. It applies to various industrial processes, like chemical industry, production of medicines and cosmetics, food and beverages manufacturing, equipment production. Continuous monitoring in real time, troubleshooting and quality control, possible due to the application of high speed camera, allow saving extra costs and production of “second choice” batches. Besides, careful inspection and NDT become also possible, and the smallest faults may be detected and immediate adjustments performed. High speed cameras are convenient for industrial application, besides the above mentioned benefits, because of their robustness and mounting flexibility. They can be integrated in any process and any production line (high temperatures, possible shocks), and allow not only seeing the “hidden” parts, but also getting an image from different sides, angles and including 3D images of the product or detail. They provide both, high resolution and speed and make a substantial contribution in acceleration of the industrial production process.

The high speed camera PCE-HSC 1660 is suitable for simple slow motion recordings in industry and research. With the help of this camera the filming can take place with the refresh rate of 2420 images per second. This slow motion camera is distinguished by its compact design and ease of use. It is connected to the PC or laptop via USB 3.0. The supplied software recognizes the SloMo camera immediately and the recordings can be created immediately after the driver installation. A CMOS image sensor with a memory depth of 10 bits is used in the camera. Thus, the camera is capable of recording high-speed images with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 in black and white. The PCE-HSC 1660 can be mounted on a tripod thread. Mount is C-Thread with F=75 mm / 3 in and f/2.8 lens. Optional lens available by special order.
