The Falcon4-CLHS is Teledyne DALSA's high-throughput area scan camera series built on the Camera Link HS (CLHS) interface, delivering up to 10.3 Gb/sec per lane across up to 7 lanes. The series spans six models from the 2.8-megapixel M2240 at 1200 fps to the 86-megapixel variant at 16 fps, all using Teledyne e2v global-shutter CMOS sensors with extended near-infrared sensitivity.

What throughput and resolution options does the Falcon4-CLHS offer?

The series includes the M2240 (2240×1248, 1200 fps, 12 µm pixel), M4400 and M4480 (4480×2496, 330 and 609 fps, 6 µm), M6200 (6144×6144, 120 fps, 2.5 µm), M8200 (8192×8192, 90 fps, 2.5 µm), and the 86M (10720×8064, 16 fps, 6 µm). All models are monochrome and support both CX4 copper and fiber-optic (AOC) cabling for flexible system integration.

What advanced acquisition features are built in?

The cameras support multi-ROI mode with up to 32 independent regions of interest, each with its own metadata tag for association with different light sources or inspection zones. A sequencer with cycling modes enables dynamic region tracking, while in-sensor binning on the Lince 11.2M models boosts full-well capacity beyond 160 Ke⁻ for high-dynamic-range scenes. Partial scan mode achieves thousands of frames per second at reduced vertical resolution.

Which inspection applications use the Falcon4-CLHS?

Typical deployments include flat-panel display inspection, semiconductor wafer AOI, PCB automated optical inspection, high-speed 3D metrology and 3D imaging, and motion tracking. The global shutter eliminates geometric distortion on fast-moving targets, while the NIR sensitivity extends utility to inspection tasks requiring wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum. The all-metal body carries a 3-year warranty.
