XC55/55BB.QXP 99.9.21 3:05 PM Page 3 PROGRESSIVE SCAN CAMERA MODULE XC-55 XC-55BB (One piece) (Remote head) Component/OEM OUTLINE The ultra-compact XC-55 and XC-55BB monochrome camera which has a progressive scan CCD to provide full frame images. The XC-55BB is a remote head camera module of the XC-55. The square remote head of the XC-55BB has a precisely installed CCD to ensure accurate alignment and the miniature size allow access to very contained spaces. The CCD uses square pixels most suitable for machine vision. The square pixels of the CCD ensure resolution in equal in both horizontal and vertical axis and nagates the use of dimension correction for image processing. The XC-55 and XC-55BB models are more compact and lightweight than conventional cameras and can be used in a wide range of image processing applications.

M: Variable gain (manual) At the factory, the variable gain is adjusted to the fixed sensitivity for a standard subject. An image in the same level can be obtained when two or more XC-55/55BB are used for an identical subject. i The gain can be changed in the range of 0 to 18 dB when the gain switch is set to "M".

The shutter speed can be set by adding constant storage time (8µ sec) to the trigger pulse width supplied by the control system. The shutter speed is automatically switched to the normal state by a trigger pulse or width more than 1/3 seconds. IN mode & 1I mode Applying a VD signal immediately (more than 140µ sec.) after the completion of strage provides the faster shutter speed operation. 1N mode 1l mode ●Restart•Reset Mode(for long exposure) . .
