Basler A102K Machine Vision Camera

The Basler A102K is a monochrome, 1392 × 1040 progressive‑scan machine‑vision camera built around the Sony ICX285 CCD sensor, offered in a 2/3‑inch optical format with 6.45 µm pixels and a C‑mount lens interface for flexible optics. It outputs via Camera Link LVDS (RS‑644 when used with the Basler Interface Controller) and supports grayscale data in 8, 10, or 12‑bit modes (the A102kc variant adds a 3×8‑bit RGB option). With a 28 MHz pixel clock, full‑resolution operation runs at up to 14.8 frames per second, while vertical or full binning can push that to about 24.8 fps; selecting a region of interest (AOI) can deliver even higher throughput, up to 75 fps. The A102K family is designed for industrial imaging on production lines, inspection stations, and alignment tasks where reliable, consistent image quality and straightforward integration with standard Basler equipment and third‑party capture systems are valued. The combination of the 2/3‑inch Sony ICX285 sensor and the 1392 × 1040 active area makes it suitable for applications requiring detailed grayscale imaging of small features, with Basler’s Camera Link interface enabling high‑bandwidth data transfer and compatibility with legacy Basler controllers or RS‑644 capable hardware. Power is supplied from a 12 V DC source, and the camera’s compact form factor with a 2/3‑inch sensor helps fit into tight automation setups.
