Key Features and Benefits
- Several high-speed LED lighting sections are turned on/off one by one in synchronization with the capture of frames
- The sets of frames are integrated into a clear image without manipulating an object
- Images free from overexposure make possible for robust defects detection (those seen from one direction only) and examination of details beneath glossy/shadow areas
- Flawless video stream is instant with 5 Mpxl resolution and up to 20 FPS speed
