For high-speed applications such as print verification, tile inspection, food/fruit sorting, and other applications, JAI has designed a powerful color line scan camera that utilizes 3CCD (3-chip) technology. This camera is more compact than most other 3CCD cameras, and features a precisely-aligned 3-chip prism element to produce the highest possible color fidelity in combination with a high line rate.

Because the 3CCD design has a common optical plane for all three sensors, it is less complex to set up than typical tri-linear cameras, and less likely to have problems with color registration or parallax effects. This enables it to be used for a wide variety of applications, including those where the surface needs to be viewed at an angle other than perpendicular.

JAI also makes 3CCD area scan cameras. Click here for more information.
