FLIR Systems releases new blackfly S machine vision USB3 camera with Sony’s pregius S sensor
FLIR Systems, Inc, announced the availability of the new FLIR Blackfly S visible spectrum camera module, the first to integrate the Sony Pregius S IMX540 sensor with 24.5 MP at 12 FPS in a USB3 camera. The combination of the Blackfly S feature set with IMX540’s high megapixel (MP) count and fast imaging enables engineers and researchers from biomedical to semiconductor industries to inspect more in less time and with fewer cameras required.
“OEM machine designers, engineers and researchers rely on FLIR for high quality, full-feature machine
vision cameras,” said Paul Clayton, general manager, components business at FLIR Systems. “With this
latest Blackfly S model, we continue the tradition of combining the best technology with world-class support
to empower our customers to achieve their objectives faster and at lower costs.”
Pairing FLIR’s machine vision expertise with advanced Sony sensors
With a new backside illuminated (BSI) 2.74 μm pixel, the Pregius S sensors nearly doubles the pixel density
of earlier Pregius sensors while taking advantage of lower cost and more compact lenses. Delivering 24 MP,
12 FPS Sony Pregius distortion-free imaging of fast-moving targets, the Blackfly S enables faster production
lines even for very detailed inspection. The Blackfly S also delivers high quantum efficiency and low read
noise allowing shorter exposure times, and therefore less powerful lights are required resulting in lower
lighting costs.
The FLIR Blackfly S BFS-U3-244S8M/C-C is available for purchase globally today in colour and monochrome
versions through FLIR and authorised FLIR distributors. FLIR will also release additional Pregius S sensors
on GigE and 10GigE interfaces later this year.
