Control & Automation Cygnet 2/3-inch sCMOS camera provides full HD up to 60Hz Effective, economic corrosion protection: nsd tupH for aluminum drives The Cygnet 2/3-inch sCMOS camera provides full HD up to 60Hz. Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology stands to gain widespread recognition across a broad range of demanding imaging applications, due to its ability to simultaneously deliver extremely low noise, fast frame rates, w ide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution and a large field of view. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS manufacture permanently corrosion-resistant drives by means of the nsd tupH sealed surface conversion system. Aluminum drives are thereby given a smooth, ultra-hard surface that, in contrast to paint, is unaffected by blows or scratches. The drives are tested and proven in applications with a maritime atmosphere. Previous to that, they have proven their resilience against blistering per ASTM D714, corrosion per ASTM D610-08, and scribe per ASTM D1654-08 according to DIN EN ISO 2409. Additionally, ASTM D3170 Gravelometer test showed absolutely no loss of adhesion or chipping. The ASTM B117-09 salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227 produced no corrosion even after 2,000 hours. The 2.1MP 2/3 inch Scientific CMOS sensor with 5.5µm x 5.5µm pixels enables ultra sharp image resolution and with a Quantum Efficiency of over 63% @ 500nm and greater than 34% @ 850nm, the Cygnet offers optimum photon collection and is available in both monochrome and colour versions. Tel: 01992 637211 www.premierelect.co.uk In demanding atmospheres, nsd tupH drives can be used much beyond the usual service life of paint-coated systems. Their resilience and prolonged service life significantly reduces the service and maintenance requirements placed on customers.
