Frequently Asked Questions

When is global shutter required vs rolling shutter?

Global shutter is required when: 1) Objects are moving during exposure - rolling shutter causes distortion

2) Precise measurements are needed - distortion affects accuracy

3) Multi-camera synchronization is critical. Rolling shutter is acceptable when: 1) Objects are stationary during exposure

2) High resolution is more important than motion handling

3) Cost is a primary concern. For industrial inspection, global shutter is almost always preferred due to the prevalence of moving parts on production lines.

Use global shutter for moving objects and measurement applications. Rolling shutter is acceptable for static inspection only.

How do I calculate required frame rate for my inspection application?

Frame rate calculation: Required FPS = Line Speed (mm/s) / Required Resolution (mm/pixel) x Safety Factor (typically 2-3). Example: Line speed = 500mm/s, Required resolution = 0.1mm/pixel, Safety factor = 2.5. FPS = 500 / 0.1 x 2.5 = 125fps. Select sensor with frame rate higher than calculated value. Consider: 1) Higher resolution requires higher frame rate

2) Smaller defects need higher safety factor

3) Processing time may limit usable frame rate

4) Lighting intensity must support selected frame rate.

Calculate based on line speed and required resolution. Apply safety factor of 2-3x for reliable detection.
