DAC has taken advantage of the versatility of line scan cameras in several products as well as a majority of custom vision applications.

Line scan systems have several distinct advantages over traditional area scan systems.

• Pixel Optimization:  the system is not bound to a fixed pixel X & Y.  Optimize image acquisition to the smallest dimension and scan the length of the product.
• High Resolution Images:  Line scan cameras are now offered with 8K and more pixels
• Lower Relative Cost:  For applications requiring 4k pixels per line the cost per pixel can sometimes be 1 to 4 times less than a comparable area scan application

DAC offers several products that utilize the unique features of a line scan system including:

• RoadRunner X4:  In line AOI system for the PCB industry 
• RoadRunner X-Plus:  Off line AOI system with high resolution defect inspection area scan camera
• VIS 400:  Off line bench top inspection system for part inspection and measurement
