Overview
The Daheng MER2-503-36U3M is a MERCURY2-generation USB3.0 area-scan camera built around the Sony IMX264 2/3-inch global-shutter CMOS sensor. It delivers 2448 × 2048 pixels at 36 fps with 3.45 µm pixels, which puts it squarely in the sweet spot for inline inspection, positioning and measurement where a rolling shutter would smear a moving part.
The differentiators are the 29 × 29 × 29 mm body and the USB3 Vision interface: single-cable power and data, a locking Micro-B connector, and no frame grabber to buy. Programmable ROI raises the frame rate on partial scans, and 8/10-bit mono or Bayer output keeps the data path simple.
QS Compute supplies the MER2-503-36U3M with the Daheng Galaxy SDK, and stocks the C-mount lenses and cables to complete the system. Volume pricing and 15-day sample lead time for qualified projects.
Key Benefits
Global shutter eliminates motion smear on conveyor-speed parts; USB3 Vision single-cable power + data with a locking connector — no frame grabber; 29 × 29 mm body fits the tightest machine fixtures; programmable ROI and partial scan trade resolution for frame rate without changing camera.
Applications
Inline inspection and gauging on production lines; assembly positioning and robot guidance; barcode, OCR and code verification; electronics and semiconductor AOI; medical and laboratory imaging; motion and vibration measurement.
