Compact CCD Cameras

The Cohu 2600-Series CCD camera has been designed specifically to withstand the extensive mechanical shock and vibration that is typically found when using oversized lenses, or in machine vision applications. It will serve equally well in surveillance applications under the same conditions, such as transit vehicles or high ambient noise locations.

The front casting of the 2600Series directly supports the lens. The camera body therefore absorbs all mechanical load of the lens and mounting apparatus. This direct and rigid structural path between the camera body and load allows for more flexible installation options and increased reliability.

In a package measuring only 1.5" (H) x 3.75" (D) x 2" (W), you get 580 horizontal line resolution, microlens sensor technology for dramatic sensitivity and dynamic range.

The electrical features of the 2600 Series give it versatility, reliability, and value.

The camera features a 1/2"- format on-chip microlens sensor, which improves sensitivity and dynamic range, while reducing dark current, lag, and blooming For video applications prone to streaking problems, a 1000:1 overload capability allows incidental light overloads up to 10 times that of other cameras. An electronic shutter allows the camera to track rapidly moving subjects.

RS-170 and CCIR models are available, and both have 20 dB of AGC for high sensitivity in low light level applications.

Electronic iris provides eight f-stops of automatic light control. This electronic shutter provides control from 1/60 to 1/15,000 second. This is of particular importance when the images are fast-moving or the camera is mounted on a vibrating source.

From board-level design to its cast aluminum enclosure, you can expect the highest performance, durability, and value from the Cohu 2600-Series CCD camera.
