Basler ace U and ace L

Introduced as the industry’s smallest cameras, the Basler ace family has been growing constantly and now encompasses over 130 models. With the introduction of the unique PGI Feature Set from Basler and with new CMOS sensors, the ace series took the next evolutionary step in the areas of firmware features and sensor technology. With this technical differentiation the “new ace” was born. Together with the latest additions to the ace portfolio, these cameras are now grouped into the ace product lines ace U and ace L.

The ace U product line offers speeds of up to 751 fps and features the latest CMOS sensors of the Sony Pregius and Sony STARVIS lines as well as PYTHON sensors from ON Semiconductor. With state-of-the-art CMOS technology and interface standards combined with advanced firmware features, such as PGI, the ace U product line offers a highly attractive price/performance ratio. As such, the cameras are suitable for a wide variety of applications, e.g. PCB inspection, automated and manual microscopy, or ANPR tolling systems.

Fast speeds of up to 751 fps

Includes high value-add features (e.g. PGI)

GigE Vision 2.0 and USB3 Vision compliant

The ace L profits from the same evolutionary steps in firmware features as the ace U. Furthermore, it is capable of carrying high-resolution 9 and 12 MP Sony Pregius CMOS sensors with optical formats above 1″. To accommodate these larger sensors, the camera housing is slightly larger than other ace models and has a footprint of 40 mm x 30 mm. The high resolution and great image quality make these cameras a perfect fit for applications in the electronics industry for high-resolution PCB or display inspection as well as for enforcement and tolling applications in the ITS marke
