M2A1280-92GC Miniature GigE Area Scan Camera (Color)
In modern machine vision, balancing high frame rates, resolution, and space constraints can be challenging. The ZDS Imaging M2A1280-92GC solves this dilemma. This ultra-compact, miniature GigE area scan camera delivers high-performance color imaging in an incredibly small footprint, making it the ideal choice for integration into tight industrial spaces, medical devices, and robotics.
Equipped with a reliable GigE Vision interface and capable of capturing crisp color images at 92 frames per second (fps) with a 1280-pixel resolution, the M2A1280-92GC provides the perfect blend of speed, precision, and connectivity.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Ultra-Compact Miniature Design
Space is a premium in automated production lines and embedded systems. The M2A series features a micro-form factor engineered specifically to fit into confined spaces where standard industrial cameras cannot go, without sacrificing thermal efficiency or build quality.
2. High-Speed 92 FPS at 1280 Resolution
With a frame rate of 92 fps, this camera captures fast-moving objects with minimal motion blur. The 1280 resolution ensures that fine details, barcodes, and color discrepancies are identified accurately during high-speed inspection tasks.
3. Industrial GigE Vision® Interface
Long Cable Lengths: Transmit data seamlessly up to 100 meters using standard Ethernet cables.
Cost-Effective Integration: Eliminates the need for expensive dedicated frame grabbers.
High Interoperability: Fully compliant with GigE Vision and GenICam standards for hassle-free integration into existing software ecosystems.
4. Rich, Vivid Color Imaging
The “C” variant denotes a high-fidelity color sensor optimized for applications where color accuracy is vital, such as print inspection, electronics sorting, and medical diagnostics.
