Teledyne’s New High-resolution Multispectral Line Scan Camera Extends Defect Detection Beyond the Surface
April 5, 2022 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company, is pleased to announce the release of its multispectral Camera Link HS (CLHS) line scan camera—a new model of the award-winning Linea product line. This latest high resolution line scan camera provides spectrally independent RGB and NIR outputs making it uniquely capable of handling some of the most challenging inspection applications by detecting defects both on and under the surface of a wide variety of materials, components, and products.
“The Linea ML 8k multispectral camera offers versatile capabilities to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of a number of today’s challenging inspection applications, like banknotes, passports, and other high security print,” said Xing-Fei He, Senior Product Manager at Teledyne DALSA. “In addition, we have been able to deliver spectrally independent outputs of the RGB and NIR channels which enables accurate defect detection both on and under the surface of products like semiconductor wafers and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a single scan, greatly simplifying vision system designs.”
The Linea ML 8k multispectral camera uses Teledyne DALSA’s latest CMOS 8k quad linear sensor with a 5x5 ?m pixel size and delivers a maximum line rate of 70 kHz x 4 using CLHS fibreoptic interface. The camera also has built-in SFP+ transceivers that convert electrical signals to optical signals and connects directly to fibreoptic cables using LC connectors. Combined with the Teledyne DALSA Xtium™2 CLHS series of high-performance frame grabbers, the Linea ML 8k multispectral camera, like all of the Linea ML cameras, represent a breakthrough in data throughput in the industry.
Key Features:
- Teledyne DALSA’s newest CMOS quadlinear sensor
- Spectrally independent RGB and NIR outputs for accurate detection of defects without spectral interference
- Independent exposure control for each channel for better white balancing
- Works seamlessly from max speed to stop conditions
- Next generation Camera Link HS interface with field-proven data reliability
- Direct connection to fibreoptic cables for extended cable lengths up to 300 meters

Elementary, Mr. Watson: PCB Routing: The Art—and Science—of Connection
06/11/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonMany people who design circuit boards love the routing part of the design. This is partially because we want to stop looking at the annoying rat's nest of connections, which seem to have no rhyme or reason at first glance. We want to get to something more exciting. Routing is the ultimate part of solving the puzzle. You take all the messy lines from the schematic and turn them into neat, organized paths.
