Allied Vision allPIXA pro 6000px: Color Linescan Camera for Fast and Flawless Industrial Imaging

[Erkan Teskancan]

Allied Vision has introduced its allPIXA pro 6000px color linescan camera, designed for high-speed machine vision applications. The camera offers a 6000-pixel CCD 3-line RGB sensor, a maximum line rate of 34 kHz, and a wide spectral detection range from 400 nm to 1000 nm. This allows it to capture all kinds of defects, color tone differences, and surface anomalies, even on continuously moving production lines.

### allPIXA pro 6000px Technical Specifications

• 6000-pixel CCD 3-line RGB sensor
• 10.00 µm × 10.00 µm pixel pitch
• Camera Link interface with 85 MHz pixel clock
• Maximum 34 kHz line rate
• Spectral range: 400 nm (visible blue) - 1000 nm (near-infrared)
• Continuous 2D image generation without motion blur

### Superior Color Accuracy and Control Features
The allPIXA pro 6000px sets a new industry standard in color accuracy. While Delta-E deviation can lead to unacceptable results in application areas, this camera:

• Ensures continuously consistent output with automatic and manual white balancing
• Performs automatic and manual gain control based on ambient and line lighting conditions
• Offers manual exposure modes for challenging or variable environments
• Includes 4KByte permanent flash memory to preserve settings during power outages

### Application Areas

• Print and web inspection: Detection of color inconsistencies, defects, and blemishes at full speed in newspapers, magazines, labels, packaging, and printed electronics
• Textiles: Early detection of yarn breaks, color changes, and pattern defects in continuous fabric rolls
• Food inspection: Classification of ripeness, surface damage, and contamination of fruits, vegetables, grains, and processed products on fast belts
• Ceramics, wood, and surfaces: High-resolution texture and color uniformity analysis
• Recycling and sorting: Color-based material classification (plastic, metal, paper) at speeds impossible for humans

### Industrial Quality and Durability
The allPIXA pro 6000px is presented in a metal housing measuring 102 × 77 × 100 mm and has an IP50 protection rating. It is resistant to dust ingress in factory environments. Calibration profiles and camera settings are not lost during power outages, thus reducing production line downtime to zero.

The device is available through Allied Vision's global distribution and direct sales channels. Additionally, cameras can be offered with frame grabbers and other accessories to optimize workflow.
