Basler racer 2 Review Summary
A line scan camera captures one row of pixels at a time while the material moves past, building an image of unlimited length. The racer 2 does this at up to 16,000 pixels per line and up to 240,000 lines per second. The series splits in two. The racer 2 S is unusually small, 29 by 29 mm and under 105 g, with line rates to 172 kHz. The racer 2 L uses CoaXPress for the highest data rates and offers cooling options and an HDR mode of about 100 dB with Basler's frame grabber. Per-model resolutions and rates are on the model pages.
