TM-250NIR/260NIR
High-Resolution Miniature CCD Camera
General Description
The TM-250NIR/TM-260NIR camera offers high per-
formance with excellent near-IR sensitivity in a very
tiny package, at a very affordable price. The camera’s
extremely short length allows it to fit into very shallow
spaces, even when using normal-size connectors. In con-
trast, most other cameras leave very little extra space
when used with specific C-mount optics and standard
connectors.
The TM-250NIR/TM-260NIR front end measures 44mm
square, and the imager center is located at the same
distance from either side. This means that the camera
can be mounted either right side up or sideways without
changing the optical axis. All circuit boards are securely
integrated inside the camera to assure the most robust
design for the most demanding applications.
The camera is available in two formats: EIA (TM-
250NIR) and CCIR (TM-260NIR). It has many standard and
optional features
at a very afford-
able price. In a
departure from the
common practice
of using a stan-
dard CCD and its
chipset, the TM-
250NIR/TM-260NIR
uses a PULNiX-
proprietary timing
generator chip.
This allows the TM-
250NIR/TM-260NIR
camera to be used
as a base model for
OEM applications
that require highly
specialized, custom
cameras with non-
standard options.
The most commonly needed adjustments—manual gain
control, automatic gain control, gamma, and field/frame
selection—can be easily accessed on the camera’s rear
panel.
Electronic shuttering is another standard feature with
continuous or async, reset-restart modes. Fourteen shut-
ter speeds, ranging from 1/60 sec. to 1/29,000 sec.,
can be selected externally using the switch on the rear
panel.
These cameras fit easily, both physically and func-
tionally, into all types of machine vision, automated
inspection, and related applications. Other uses include
remotely piloted vehicles, miniature inspection devices,
surveillance, microscopes and medical equipment.
