XC-ST70/70CE
OUTLINE
The XC-ST70/70CE is a compact, lightweight black-and-white camera module using the latest technology and a 2/3-
inch new-generation CCD. Each mode can be set by selecting the switches on the rear panel. The XC-ST70/70CE
provides an external trigger shutter that can catch a high-speed moving subject using an external signal. This enables
a still image to be read in arbitrary timing. The XC-ST70/70CE meets the high-level needs of image inspection based
on a high-definition image utilizing a 2/3-inch CCD that is popular in the image processing field.
In addition, the XC-ST70/70CE incorporates significant shock and vibration resistance allowing it to be easily
incorporated into machine vision equipment.
MAIN FEATURES
2/3" IT CCD
External trigger shutter function
(XC-ST70: 1/4 to 1/10,000 seconds, XC-ST70CE: 1/4 to 1/8,000 seconds)
Inputting the trigger pulse gives one still image. This feature allows the capture of high-speed moving object.
Restart Reset (R.R) function
Inputting HD and VD signals (2 VD or more) continuously from the outside can catch one image at arbitrary time
and control the stored CCD.
This function is used for long exposures and strobe with frame image output.
Synchronization system: Internal/external HD/VD, and VS
(VS is used only during external synchronization.)
Inputting an HD/VD signal from the outside automatically establishes external synchronization.
This function is effective for controlling multiple cameras efficiently from the external system.
All control switches on outside of camera.
Setting each mode on rear panel:
The setting of each mode can be changed by selecting DIP
Almost all switches are located on the rear panel. This feature permits easy setting after equipment is installed.
Compact and lightweight
C-mount
Excellent shock and vibration resistance
