The Spyder3 SG-14 Cameras
Camera Highlights
The Sp yd er3 SG-14 GigE Vision (GEV) are high sensitivity d u al-line scan cam eras. When op erating in
high sensitivity (d u al line scan) m od e the Sp yd er3 GEV cam era has 3x the resp onsivity of Teled yne
DALSA’s Sp yd er2 line scan cam era. Plu s, the GigE Vision interface elim inates the need for a fram e
grabber, resu lting in significant system cost savings.
The Sp yd er3 cam eras are su p p orted by Teled yne DALSA Sap era™ softw are libraries featu ring
