- Introducing New 8K Trilinear, 8K Monochrome, and 16K Monochrome Line Scan Cameras!
# Introducing New 8K Trilinear, 8K Monochrome, and 16K Monochrome Line Scan Cameras!
By [JAI](https://news.jai.com/author/jai) | July 29, 2025
We are once again expanding the Sweep Series with the addition of three new line scan cameras: 8K trilinear, 8K monochrome, and 16K monochrome models. These new models provide system integrators and machine vision professionals with additional choices for achieving reliable performance in high-resolution imaging applications.
**8K - SW-8001TL-MCL and SW-8001M-MCL**
The new 8K trilinear and monochrome camera models deliver high-speed, high-resolution imaging with exceptional light sensitivity. The Trilinear model features 3 x 8,192 pixels in R-G-B lines and scans at 33 kHz, ideal for precise color inspection. The Monochrome model offers 2 x 8,192 pixels and an impressive 100 kHz scan rate. Both models feature 7 μm square pixels for enhanced sensitivity and are equipped with a Camera Link interface.
|  | **SW-8001TL-MCL - trilinear color model:** - 8K resolution (3 x 8,192 pixels in R-G-B lines) - 33 kHz scan rate (33,000 image lines/second) - Large 7 μm square pixels for increased light sensitivity - Camera Link interface [Learn more about SW-8001TL-MCL](https://www.jai.com/products/sw-8001tl-mcl) |
| --- | --- |
|  | **SW-8001M-MCL - monochrome model:** - 8K resolution (2 x 8,192 pixels). - 100 kHz scan rate (100,000 image lines/second) - Large 7 μm square pixels for increased light sensitivity - Camera Link interface [Learn more about SW-8001M-MCL](https://www.jai.com/products/sw-8001m-mcl) |
| --- | --- |
**SW-8000M-PMCL compared to new SW-8001M-MCL**
While our existing SW-8000M-PMCL continues to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of applications, the new SW-8001M-MCL introduces updated capabilities designed to meet evolving inspection needs. Both models offer unique strengths depending on priorities and requirements.

**16K - SW-16001M-MCL**
The new 16K monochrome model offers high resolution with 2 x 16,384-pixels, a 50 kHz scan rate, and compact 3.5 μm square pixels featuring a Camera Link interface.
|  | **SW-16001M-MCL - monochrome model:** - 16K resolution (2 x 16,384 pixels) - 50 kHz scan rate (50,000 image lines/second) - 3.5 μm square pixels - Camera Link interface [Learn more about SW-16001M-MCL](https://www.jai.com/products/sw-16001m-mcl) |
| --- | --- |
**SW-16000M-CXP4A compared to new SW-16001M-MCL**
Compared to JAI’s previously launched Sweep 16K line scan camera (SW-16000M-CXP4A), the new SW-16001M-MCL is a more affordable and compact model.

**Key benefits of the new 8K and 16K Sweep Series Line Scan Cameras:**
- Enhanced sensitivity with 2-step TDI (Time Delay Integration): Available in both the 8K and 16K monochrome models, this feature uses two-pixel lines to capture the same scene line in sequence. By combining the signals from each line, it significantly increases the amount of light collected without raising noise levels—resulting in improved sensitivity and cleaner images in high-speed or low-light conditions.
- Cost-efficient solutions: The new Sweep camera models deliver premium performance at an affordable price. With robust construction, high-resolution imaging, and built-in processing, it ensures reliable operation and reduced integration costs—perfect for demanding industrial environments.
- Compact design: The camera’s compact size supports straightforward integration into existing machine vision setups. With efficient thermal management that eliminates the need for an external heat sink, it simplifies system setup and supports cleaner, more streamlined installations—without compromising on performance.
**Designed for a wide range of vision inspection applications**
|  | *Print and package inspection -*The new Sweep Series camera models are suitable for any print and package inspection including color variation (for 8K trilinear model) and inconsistency, mismatched color zones, overprint or underprint, missing characters, numbers or misaligned print. |
| --- | --- |
|  | *Film inspection -*Defect-free film is essential for battery safety and performance. The new JAI line scan camera models can detect scratches, bubbles, coating flaws, particles, and edge cracks, ensuring reliable film inspection in battery manufacturing. |
|  | *Glass inspection -* Both 8K and 16K new line scan camera detects surface defects like scratches and cracks, measures thickness uniformity, color and transparency (the 8K trilinear model), inspects edges for chips or fractures, and identifies coating issues and shape misalignments, making it ideal for comprehensive glass inspection. |
|  | *Paper and surface inspection -*In paper production, visual inspections play a crucial role in ensuring product quality and minimizing defects. Main types of paper inspection include surface scratches, holes, dirt spots, color and thickness variation, or moisture marks. |
|  | *PCB inspection- The new SW-8001TL-MCL is ideal for AOI inspection checking finished bare boards for visual defects. Common issues include green pads, exposed copper, surface dents, raised copper, whitish solder mask, broken bridges, and edge notches. The monochrome models, on the other hand (SW-8001M-MCL and SW-16001M-MCL), are well suited for detecting defects after the etching and cleaning of the circuit layer. Main types of PCB inspection include short circuits, open circuits, notches, pinholes, copper slag, line width issues, line spacing errors, hole ring defects, and missing features. * |
