Vieworks VC-18MC-M/C 45 18MP Area Scan Camera 4504 × 4096 Resolution 44.9 fps 1 inch Optical Format GMAX2518 Sensor 2.5 µm Pixel
The VC-18MC-M/C 45 is an 18-megapixel area scan camera built for precise industrial inspection, where high resolution and fast throughput are critical. It delivers 4504 × 4096 resolution at up to 44.9 fps from a Gpixel GMAX2518 global shutter CMOS sensor, providing crisp images of fast-moving objects with minimal distortion.
Engineered for integration into demanding machine vision environments, this compact C-mount camera supports Camera Link Base, Medium, Full, and 10 Tap with PoCL and GenICam compliance for flexible control in automated lines across North America and other regions. Its 2.5 µm pixel size, 1 inch optical format, and 65 dB dynamic range help produce uniform, high-quality images for FPD, PCB, and semiconductor inspection, as well as document and film scanning.
