KEYENCE Corporation, a global leader in industrial automation and sensing technologies, introduces the CA-200M, a rugged 2-megapixel monochrome camera designed to deliver high-precision imaging and reliability in demanding industrial environments. Engineered for factory automation, quality inspection, and machine vision applications, the CA-200M combines advanced CMOS sensor technology with robust environmental resistance to empower manufacturers across sectors like electronics, automotive, food packaging, and pharmaceuticals.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

Sensor & Imaging Performance:

· 2-megapixel monochrome CMOS sensor (1600 H × 1200 V resolution) with 4.5 µm × 4.5 µm pixel size.

· High-speed image capture: Up to 886 frames per second (fps) in 100-megapixel mode, ensuring real-time processing for fast-moving production lines.

· Advanced image processing: Supports KEYENCE’s proprietary TrendEdge Defect Detection and Real-Time Shading Correction for accurate flaw identification even under uneven lighting.

Environmental Durability:

· IP64-rated enclosure (when paired with KEYENCE-specified lenses and cables), protecting against dust and water splashes.

· Wide operating range: Temperature tolerance of 0–45°C and humidity resistance up to 85% RH, enabling deployment in harsh factory settings.

Connectivity & Integration:

· Digital serial transmission with 43 MHz pixel clock for low-latency data transfer.

· C-mount lens compatibility, supporting versatile optical configurations.

· Multi-lighting control: Connect up to 8 lighting units (via 4 channels × 2 channels per unit) for adaptive illumination adjustments.

Compact & Lightweight Design:

· Weighs just 75 grams (excluding lens), minimizing spatial constraints in tight installations.

· Energy-efficient operation: Requires only 24V DC power, reducing energy costs.

Industry Applications

The CA-200M excels in critical manufacturing processes, including:

1. Defect Detection:

· Identifies micro-cracks, scratches, or foreign particles in electronics components, food packaging, and medical devices.

· Example: Detects bottle cap seal imperfections or label misalignments in beverage production.

2. High-Speed Assembly Verification:

· Ensures precise part positioning in automotive assembly lines, with 47ms image transmission time for 640×480 pixel resolution.

3. Quality Control Automation:

· Replaces manual inspection for pharmaceutical expiration date verification, reducing labor costs by up to 70%.

4. Dimensional Measurement:

· Measures thread dimensions on mechanical parts with sub-pixel accuracy, supporting ISO compliance.

Why Choose the CA-200M?

· Cost Efficiency: Reduces waste by preventing defective products from reaching customers, lowering recall costs.

· Seamless Integration: Compatible with KEYENCE’s XG-X Vision System controllers and software tools for end-to-end automation.

· Future-Ready: Supports multi-camera setups and AI-driven analytics for predictive maintenance.
