IDS has integrated the Sony IMX900 sensor into selected models of the compact USB3 uEye XCP, XLS and GigE uEye LE series. IDS is thus expanding its portfolio with industrial cameras that deliver pin-sharp images even in confined installation situations.
As part of the Sony Pregius S series, the IMX900 offers a combination of high resolution, compact pixel size and excellent image quality. The 2.25 μm miniature pixels of the compact global shutter sensor with a resolution of 3.2 MP (2048 x 1536 pixels) deliver brilliant results, even with fast-moving objects – ideal for demanding automation and inspection tasks.
Another highlight of the sensor is its exceptional sensitivity in the near-infrared range at 850 nm. This makes it the first choice for applications with infrared lighting, for example in product inspection, in driverless transport systems or in autonomous mobile robots. At the same time, the increased light sensitivity in the red spectral range ensures that even fine details such as barcodes are reliably recognised – even in difficult lighting conditions.
Thanks to their compact size, they are particularly suitable for applications with limited space but the highest demands on image quality. “By integrating the IMX900, we have created a perfect combination of compact design, high-performance sensor technology and an attractive price structure,” explains Marcus Rembold, Product Owner 2D Cameras at IDS. “This opens up new possibilities for our customers to realise high-quality image processing solutions even where space or budget were previously limiting factors.” The option of flexible lens selection, with support for C-mount and space-saving, cost-efficient S-mount lenses, provides additional customisation options.
