Line Scan Cameras

Line scan cameras capture one line of pixels at a time rather than acquiring an entire frame simultaneously. As an object moves past the camera, each captured line is combined to create a continuous, high-resolution image. This imaging method is particularly well suited for continuous web inspection, cylindrical objects, and high-speed production lines, where the field of view or throughput limitations of conventional area scan cameras may make line scan imaging the preferred solution.

Line scan systems are ideal for inspecting long or moving objects while maintaining exceptional resolution and consistent image quality. Typical applications include web inspection, print quality verification, food and pharmaceutical inspection, railroad and lumber inspection, and other high-speed manufacturing processes.
