200-300fps camera recommendation

Hi there,

 

I'm looking to buy a camera for use with vision/machine inspection tools. I need 200-300fps.

 

Currently I use a cheap Casio consumer camera and do the analysis offline but am looking at USB3.0 DirectShow compliant camera like this one:

Before I go get something that may be compatible has anyone got a high speed setup working that you can recommend??

 

Thanks...

Well what sort of resolution are you looking for? If you are OK with low resolution, then you should be able to use a USB 3.0 camera. If you want high resolution, then Camera Link will be the way to go if you want to achieve high speeds. Have a look at some cameras here (Basler's Ace line):

My targets are typically 2in square. I’m looking at fluid dispensing which isn’t too demanding (1mm^2 would do it for detection of bubbles). Color would be my preference. The 300fps is flexible (just happens to be what I use for my current camera) but I think getting down to 200 would mean I miss events.

Perhaps the greatest challenge is focal length. I typically have macro lens on my current setup and shoot from a distance of 1-5in.

It's important that you figure out what sort of resolution you need. Here is a nice tutorial:

Adnan,

 

I am interested in the tutorial. However, it seems the link that you provided is not ready. Can you please update it?

 

Thanks
