The XC-ST Series cameras incorporate the innovative CCD and signal processing technologies into a compact black and white camera module.

A new external trigger design allows the electronic shutter speed to be freely specified by the width of an external trigger pulse or by a switch setting on the rear panel of the camera.

These cameras are also user-friendly, with all switch settings located on the rear panel. Moreover, the 1/3 type CCD, 1/2 type CCD and 2⁄3 type CCD models have the exact same dimensions, simplifying space requirements and making it easy to interchange them if necessary. These features, along with high picture quality and high shock and vibration tolerance make the XC-ST Series cameras ideal for demanding machine vision applications.
