OVERVIEW
sprint Housing Concept
Another important characteristic of Basler’s sprint
series is the innovative housing and cooling concept.
The sensor module and the camera housing have
been integrated as a single unit to optimize cooling
and to reduce heat induced noise to a minimum.
The sensor and the electronics that control the
sensor are part of a ceramic module. The ceramic
module is directly attached (both physically and
thermally) to a heat sink system that pipes heat
directly to the outside of the camera.
To achieve the smallest possible tolerances in six
directions, the sensor is positioned in the camera
by a specially designed automatic positioning tool
(see the graphic showing the up, down, left, right,
rotate, and tilt directions). Maintaining the very small
tolerances helps to ensure that each camera behaves
in the same way. It also makes it easier for users
to adjust the sprint to their application and to have
a sharp focus over the entire sensor surface.

Camera Link® Interface
Camera Link is a camera communications interface
designed for vision applications in science and
industry. Camera Link was first established in 2000
by Basler and other leading companies in the machine
vision arena. Camera Link enables a maximum data
transmission rate of up to 800 MB per second
depending on the configuration. The Camera
Link interface is used to connect a camera to a
compatible frame grabber in a host PC. The frame
grabber collects and evaluates data from the
camera.
The most important benefits offered by Camera
Link are:
An accepted and proven communications
standard for vision technologies (cameras and
frame grabbers)
A simple, standardized cable concept
Particularly suitable for high data rates
Standardized protocols for several types of image
data transfer, for example, 2, 4, or 8 tap camera
output and 8 bit, 10 bit, or 12 bit pixel depth
Serial communications to the camera via a port
on the frame grabber
One main advantage of the Camera Link standard is
that numerous frame grabbers produced by many
different vendors are compatible with the Basler
sprint series.
Typical Applications
Basler sprint cameras are perfect for use
in applications such as:
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
Print inspection
Web inspection of paper, foil, wood veneers,
etc.
Document scanning and postal sorting
Food inspection
Surface inspection of printed circuit boards,
flat panels and displays, semiconductors, etc.
