Thorlabs DCC1545M CMOS Compact Industrial Imaging Unit
The DCC1545M CMOS camera is a compact industrial imaging unit designed for automated inspection applications. It integrates a monochrome sensor with 1.3-megapixel resolution at 1280 x 1024 active pixels. The sensor in DCC1545M CMOS camera uses a one-half inch optical format with 5.2 micrometer square pixels. This configuration delivers detailed images while maintaining efficient light collection for low contrast scenes. The DCC1545M employs an electronic rolling shutter that supports progressive scan readout for precise motion visualization. Its full frame acquisition reaches 25 frames per second when operated at the specified pixel clock range. Higher temporal resolution is possible through reduced regions of interest which support significantly elevated frame rates. The unit’s exposure control range extends from 0.037 ms to 983 ms for flexible illumination conditions.
Signal performance of the DCC1545M CMOS camera supports industrial measurement workflows and analysis tasks. Its peak quantum efficiency reaches 55% that enables reliable response with compact illumination systems. The unit’s typical read noise remains below 25 electrons for stable grayscale discrimination. Its analog to digital conversion provides 8-bit output that interfaces efficiently with established machine vision platforms. The DCC1545M connects through a standard USB 2.0 interface which supplies both data transfer and power. Its power consumption ranges between 0.5 W and 1.0 W depending on operating conditions. The unit’s USB connectivity simplifies deployment within industrial automation enclosures where dedicated frame grabbers are not preferred. Its included software package enables configuration of acquisition parameters and integration with automation control software.
Mechanical integration of this CMOS camera is based on a CS mount lens interface and its lens mount uses a 1 inch 32 thread with a defined 6.3 mm depth. This interface accepts CS mount optics directly and C mount lenses through the dedicated extension adapter. Its housing dimensions are 48.6 mm x 44 mm x 25.7 mm. This ultracompact format suits installations with limited clearance around conveyors tooling or protective guarding structures. Its sealed enclosure design helps limit dust ingress for improved reliability in particulate rich environments. It is supplied with adapters to interface the CS mount to SM1 threaded mechanics. Its adapters enable straightforward coupling to tube-based optics assemblies and custom illumination modules. It further includes thread adapters for common post mounts which streamline mechanical alignment adjustments.
