Fairchild Imaging introduced solid state sensors to commercial markets in the 1970s and continues to provide advanced imaging solutions for a range of industrial markets. Typical applications for this technology are close tolerance inspection or dimension control to assure product quality, automated process monitoring and control, industrial inspection, x-ray non-destructive testing, film digitization, security, and laboratory instrumentation.

Our equipment is used throughout the industry in robotics, processing inspection, food, beverage, confectionery and pharmaceuticals.

Our customers use these sensors and cameras to inspect liquid flows, bottles, cans, boxes, mail, luggage, packages, lumber and many other products. Our devices are also used worldwide in the semiconductor and electronic chip industry to visually inspect wafers and circuitry on ICs and PCBs.

These products have been designed for reliability in harsh environments. They provide excellent performance at high speed and low light levels.

Many of these devices include special features such as low light levels, anti-blooming/integration control, correlated double sampling and extended blue response.

Fairchild Imaging has multiple product offerings and OEM customers in this market. These products range from simple CCD & CMOS components used in process control to complex X-ray diffraction cameras for use in pharmaceutical development.

If you require high-sensitivity, high-resolution and high-speed capabilities, then Fairchild Imaging has the CCD & CMOS line arrays, area arrays or TDI arrays & cameras that you require.

The following is a listing of available sensors and cameras along with their potential applications.
