More general information, such as features and benefits of an industrial line scan camera, can also be found at the bottom of this page.

What is a Line Scan Camera?

A line scan camera is an advanced imaging device primarily used in industrial and quality control applications. Unlike traditional area scan cameras that capture full images at once, line scan cameras capture images one line at a time. This method allows for continuous, high resolution imaging of moving objects, making it ideal for inspecting products on fast conveyor belts or cylindrical items. These cameras excel in detecting fine details and defects due to their high-speed image acquisition and precise synchronization capabilities.

Line Scan vs. Area Scan Cameras: Key Advantages

Line scan technology offers several benefits over area scan cameras in specific scenarios:

Continuous motion imaging: Excels in inspecting fast-moving products or scanning cylindrical objects.

Seamless inspection: Captures long or continuous objects without stitching artifacts.

Higher resolution and speed: Enables faster processing and detection of minute defects.

Energy efficiency: Requires less illumination due to a narrow field of view, reducing energy consumption and heat generation.

Distortion-free imaging: Produces accurate images of curved surfaces.

Flexible aspect ratios: Adapts to various product sizes and shapes.

These features make line scan cameras the preferred choice for applications demanding precision and versatility in machine vision systems, particularly in manufacturing and quality control processes where detailed, continuous imaging is crucial.

Cameras are a great value for money

The cameras are a great value for money and the lenses also. The software is outdated and needs refreshing. It took me considerable amount of time to discover how to access the camera features.

Recently we purchased a camera with lens, and LED lights. We are not experienced with machine vision but the installation worked out fine. After installation on our laboratory we were surprised again of the high quality of the photos and the versatility of this system. (options in Galaxy viewer and integration in Python. Recently we had an issue with the software and the customer support was able to give us the relevant information to fix it within one day. The next time we need a camera we will not be looking to other suppliers but contact GeT Cameras immediately.

For a new product development there was a lot of price pressure. We needed a cheap camera. I called them and Caspar was providing great support. He even advised a cheaper camera than I had in mind. I was just surprised by the inhouse knowledge of get cameras about machine vision. Never expected this from a webshop. The image an built quality of the camera is also great. The camera feels and operates the same as our Basler cameras.

In the beginning I was sceptic because of the low prices, but support by email was great. They advise a lens and provided additional technical information. Unfortunately they don't offer a loan service, but I decided to try it. I had the cameras in house within 2 weeks and connection was easy. The SDK looks like the SDK from Basler so I felt directly comfortable with it. The camera and lens was a perfect match and now I'm able to read small DMC codes on large products with just a single camera.
