Across the manufacturing hubs of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, production lines running at speeds above 200 meters per minute face a critical bottleneck: real-time defect detection. Traditional area scan cameras simply cannot keep up with the throughput demands of PCB, solar panel, or textile inspection. Our TDI line scan cameras, built with advanced time-delay integration technology, deliver crystal-clear images at line rates exceeding 100 kHz, enabling you to catch micro-defects without slowing down your line.

How to Choose the Right TDI Line Scan Camera for Your Application

Selecting the correct TDI line scan camera depends on three factors: line speed, resolution needs, and lighting conditions. For high-speed web inspection (e.g., battery film or nonwovens), prioritize cameras with >80 kHz line rate and 16k resolution. For surface defect detection on solar wafers, a 4k TDI sensor with UV sensitivity yields better contrast. Always match the pixel size to your field of view and conveyor speed using our online line rate calculator.

How We Build Your TDI Line Scan Camera: Production Flow

Our manufacturing process follows a strict six-stage protocol to ensure every unit meets ISO 9001 standards.

1. Sensor Alignment – Laser-guided placement of TDI sensor with <1 µm tolerance.
2. PCB Assembly – Automated SMT line with lead-free soldering per RoHS.
3. Thermal Cycling – 48-hour burn-in at -10°C to +60°C.
4. Optical Calibration – Flat-field correction and MTF measurement.
5. Firmware Load – Customizable trigger modes (encoder, timer, external sync).
6. Final QC – 100% functional test with real line scan targets.

Our Quality Control System: Certifications and Testing

We hold ISO 9001:2015 and CE certifications. Every camera batch undergoes a 72-hour accelerated life test. Our inspection protocol includes:

• Defect detection repeatability test (99.7% accuracy on 10 µm defects)
• EMC compliance per EN 61000-6-2
• RoHS and REACH material declarations
