Lenses · Line scan

Line scan lenses

A line scan camera captures a line rather than a frame, and the image is assembled as the web moves — this is how roll materials, glass, film and print are inspected. Its lens has to cover a long sensor line rather than the round field of an area sensor: the range covers M58, M72 and M90 mounts for sensors up to 16k, focal lengths from 25 to 150 mm.

How to choose

Selection starts from the sensor length and web width: magnification = sensor length / web width. A 16k sensor with 3.5 μm pixels is 57 mm long; to cover a 570 mm web you need 0.1× magnification. The mount follows the camera: M58, M72 or M90 — adapters exist but they change the flange distance.
