Contact Image Sensors (CIS) for Compact Scanning Applications

Contact Image Sensors for Compact and Inline Scanning

Contact Image Sensors (CIS) are compact linear sensors designed to capture high-resolution images at very close distances — often just millimeters from the target. Due to their low profile, uniform lighting integration, and minimal optical path, CIS modules are widely used in document scanning, barcode reading, and inline industrial inspection.

FRAMOS offers high-quality contact image sensors for integration into space-constrained systems, including scanner devices, lab automation, and custom OEM equipment. With consistent resolution and lighting across the scan width, CIS modules are a cost-effective and reliable solution for surface-level image acquisition.

Applications of Contact Image Sensor Technology

Contact Image Sensors (CIS) are ideal for applications that demand compact size, close-range precision, and consistent illumination. Their built-in lighting and low-profile design make them perfect for scanning flat surfaces in space-constrained systems – from document imaging and barcode reading to industrial inspection and lab automation.

Application Use Case
Document Scanning Flatbed scanners, multifunction printers, ID readers
Barcode Reading Compact retail or logistics scanners
Inline Industrial Inspection Surface monitoring, defect detection, quality assurance
Lab Automation Sample tracking, slide inspection
Ticketing & Kiosks Embedded scanners in self-service devices
