XoFLink line scan cameras with fibre transmission

XoFLink is a fibre interface from HIKROBOT for cameras with high data rates: transmission runs over LC fibre cable to a XoFLink frame grabber, immune to electromagnetic interference, galvanically isolated and over distances copper cannot reach. VISIONTECHNIK offers XoFLink line scan cameras with line rates from 23 to 200 kHz, pixel sizes of 3.5 µm, 5 µm and 7 µm, in mono and colour versions with M42, M72 and M90.

XoFLink line scan cameras: choosing by inspection task

Where XoFLink is the right interface

For long distances between camera and computer, in environments with strong interference (welding, large drives) and wherever high line rates are to be achieved with cabling that has no bandwidth limit imposed by the cable.

XoFLink is manufacturer specific: camera, frame grabber and software come from HIKROBOT. The frame grabber category lists the matching cards with two and four SFP+ ports. Anyone looking for a cross-manufacturer fibre connection considers 10 GigE with SFP+.

Selection criteria

The filters in this category follow the questions to settle before choosing:

  • Line length and pixel size: 3.5 µm, 5 µm or 7 µm
  • Line rate: from 23 to 200 kHz in stock
  • Mono or colour
  • Lens mount: M42, M72 or M90 depending on line length
  • Frame grabber: channel count and transceiver matching the camera

Typical applications

XoFLink line scan cameras are used, among other things, for:

  • Web material in plants with long cable runs
  • Inspection in environments with strong electromagnetic interference
  • Wide webs at high line rate
  • Systems built consistently from HIKROBOT components

Frequently asked questions about XoFLink line scan cameras

How long can the fibre be?
With multimode fibre a few hundred metres, with single mode several kilometres; the exact reach depends on the transceiver and is stated by the manufacturer.
Do I need a special frame grabber?
Yes, a XoFLink frame grabber from HIKROBOT with SFP+ ports. The models are listed in the frame grabber category.
How is the camera powered?
Fibre cannot carry power; the cameras have their own power connector for 12 to 24 V.

Still unsure which model fits?

Tell us the inspection task, object size, required resolution, cycle rate and the computer environment you have. We narrow down suitable models across manufacturers, check interface, lens and lighting together and say openly what still needs clarifying before a decision.
