Imperx, a leading global designer and manufacturer of superior quality digital imaging products and software, announced a new model in the popular family of ruggedized Cheetah industrial cameras. The CLF-C13K0-T is a 127-megapixel global shutter camera with Camera Link^® output and integrated thermoelectric cooling. The camera is based on the Sony Pregius IMX661 CMOS image sensor with a native resolution of 13440 x 9560 in a 3.6" optical format with 3.45 µm global shutter pixels. Combining high resolution, high sensitivity, 71dB dynamic range, low dark current and temperature stabilization, the camera is ideal for a broad range of demanding applications including flat panel inspection, semiconductor inspection, PCB inspection, color measurement, metrology, and aerial imaging.

The Camera Link^® Full 80bit output delivers the full 127MP resolution at 6.1 fps in 8-bit mode, 4.9 fps in 10-bit mode, and 2.5 fps in 12-bit mode, and additionally includes Power over Camera Link^® (PoCL) to ease integration and minimize complexity. The camera features subsampling modes, ROI capability, multiple trigger options, programmable strobe output, automatic exposure, and automatic gain control with multiple LUTs. The monochrome version of the camera supports 1x2, 2x1, and 2x2 binning modes.

Like all cameras in the Cheetah family, the CLF-C13K0-T performs over a wide operating temperature range of -30 °C to +75 °C and is designed to the MIL-STD-810G standard, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use including drones, UAVs, and a variety of aerospace and space applications. The camera has a compact size of 85 mm x 85 mm x 78.5 mm, weight of 650g, low power consumption, and has a 20G/100G vibration and shock rating.

“With the introduction of the C13K0-T we have nearly doubled the resolution available in the Cheetah camera family, which now offers global shutter cameras with trusted Imperx quality from 1MP to 127MP,” says Petko Dinev, Founder and CEO of Imperx. The C13K0-T camera will be demonstrated in Imperx’s booth at the Vision exhibition in Stuttgart October 8 - 10 in booth 10F92.

The Imperx Cheetah line of cameras provides excellent image quality with Imperx proprietary processing. Imperx puts customers in control and with full access to raw data without corrections. Using the simple, intuitive GenICam^TM-compliant user interface, users can quickly apply image corrections, if desired.

Imperx is well known for providing both off-the-shelf and customized camera solutions that are ruggedized to perform in extremes of temperature, vibration, and radiation. As with all Imperx camera models, customizations are possible, including additional ruggedization for specific environments.
