TM-7 Series: 1/2" Monochrome Mini Cameras
TM-7 Series Picture

The TM-7 Series offers the highest resolution interline transfer 1/2" CCD imager available to date, in a very tiny package. Designed to meet a variety of application requirements, these three camera models have many standard and optional features. The most commonly needed adjustments - gain, gamma, AGC, and field/frame selection are easily accessible on the rear camera panel. Shutter capability is another standard feature of this series.

The TM-7CN and TM-7EX versions allow for the external selection of eight different shutter speeds (1/60 sec. to 1/10,000 sec.) by attaching the SC-745 Shutter Controller to the 6-pin connector located on the rear of the camera. Pixel clock output is a standard feature on the "CN" version.

The key feature of the TM-7AS camera is switch selectable, field mode, high speed asynchronous shuttering. The TM-7AS also has a rotary select switch to control shutter speed (1/60 sec. to 1/10,000 sec.). The "AS" and "EX" versions both accept external sync. All cameras are C-mount; the "CN" and "EX" models include auto iris outputs.

The miniature size of the TM-7 Series cameras eliminates the need for a remoted imager camera in all but the most confined spaces. These cameras fit easily, both physically and functionally, 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.
