IRVINE, CA, May 30, 2006 – The new CS8581QF from Toshiba Teli America, Inc., is a remote-head FireWire camera that ideally meets the needs of factory automation applications for ultra-fast frame rates, high resolution, and a micro-sized remote camera head to fit restricted mounting spaces.

Delivering exceptional performance, quality and speed, the versatile CS8581QF boasts 133 frames-per-second (FPS) at full 640 x 480 resolution (8bit monochrome), as well as partial scan modes that top 430 FPS. Based on a 1/3-inch progressive scan CCD, the camera also offers 7.4µm square pixels, an electronic shutter (1/50,000 to 2 sec), and random trigger shutter for faster, more precise processing.

The CS8581QF is comprised of a micro remote head camera and a central control unit that can be mounted up to 2 meters apart from each other by a cable, making it excellent in movement applications where the remote head is mounted on the end of a robot arm or a positioning stage.
