All CIS modules mentioned on this page are optimized for scanning documents in the socalled "contact mode". Here the object to be scanned is moved across the CIS module in direct contact to its front glass plate.

For applications where a longer working distance is needed, the modules can be disassembled. Then the internal components can be put e.g. into a customized housing with the needed new distances. With such modifications CIS modules can also be used to inspect endless goods in the industrial area (foils, textiles, papers and many more).
When using CIS modules in such a way you have however to take care, that the working distance is hold very precisely in order to get the best optical resolution.

The module M106-A4-R5-X is supplied without the usual linear lens optic and LEDs, which are normally used in CIS modules. Due to this fact it can be used as a standard CMOS linear sensor. The main advantage is the unusual long sensor length of 216mm! The M106-A4-R5-X can be supplied in small volumes from stock. On request also the other CIS modules can be supplied without the linear lens optic and the LEDs. This is however only possible at a certain minimum order volume.

In general the CIS modules by CMOS SENSOR INC. can be supplied as customized versions at a certain minimum order volume. Possible are e.g. modifications of the housing, additional parallel outputs to increase the readout speed of the module, or using special LEDs for the lighting.
