Sixteen-thousand pixels per line, captured at line speeds up to one thousand meters per minute. Built for textile, paper, foil, plastic film, and any continuous web that doesn't pause for inspection. Multi-camera sync, edge AI, real-time defect mapping.
A line-scan camera captures one row of pixels at a time. The web moves; the camera scans; the result is a continuous, seamless image of the entire surface — no frame boundaries, no missed defects between exposures, no compromise on resolution along the direction of motion.
The IX-LS/02 sensor is 16,384 pixels wide, with a line rate up to 80 kHz. At a typical 0.1 mm pixel pitch on a 1.6 m web, that gives you full coverage at one thousand meters per minute — no gaps, no overlaps, no dropped lines.
Wider webs need wider arrays. The IX-LS/02 supports up to eight cameras in a single phase-locked configuration — sub-10-µs jitter across the array, hardware-triggered from a master encoder. The eight cameras stitch into a single virtual sensor up to 131,072 pixels wide.
The stitching is done in firmware on the camera array, not in the host PC. Defect coordinates returned to the PLC are absolute web coordinates, not per-camera coordinates. Your downstream system never has to know there are eight cameras — it sees one continuous web.
The IX-LS/02 returns a live defect map of the web as it moves. Each defect is tagged with web coordinates (machine direction in meters, cross-direction in millimeters), defect class (hole, tear, contamination, color variance, fold), severity score, and timestamp. The map streams directly to your MES via OPC UA or MQTT.
For roll-tracking applications, the map is also written to a per-roll defect database — when you ship a roll to a customer, you ship a defect map with it. Quality is auditable, traceable, and machine-readable downstream.
Holes, slubs, color variance on woven & non-woven fabric.
Tears, wrinkles, contamination on continuous paper webs.
Pinholes, gauge variation, surface defects on metallized films.
Bubbles, gels, color streaking on extruded plastic sheet.
