Robust and Compact Designfor Industrial Applications
Fast and Compact
Things are getting faster in modern industrial environment. The clock rates andvelocities of up-to-date production lines or machine technology are speeding up,
presenting visual analysis with a new high-speed challenge.
The Mikrotron MotionBLITZ® Cube4 is a member of Mikrotron’s Cube highspeed recording camera family, developed to meet high-speed requirements
using cutting edge camera technology.
Up to 1,010 fps are possible at the camera’s 1.3 Megapixel
resolution, however, this can be increased to an impressive 86,000 fps by
reducing of the Region of Interest (RoI).

Recording with History Function
The MotionBLITZ® Cube4 onboard ring buffer enables a buffering of triggered
events up to 6,5 seconds at full resolution and speed (extended buffer option).
The history function allows pre and post event recording through free selectionof frames or recording time.

MotionBLITZ® Cube4
The optionally available ImageBLITZ® Automatic Trigger evengoes a step further: it enables an object generated triggering
directly through the camera using a selectable section of theRoI as a sensor.
