For industrial use with 1.2MP depth sensing
IDS Imaging Development Systems has added Nion to its 3D portfolio, an industrial ToF camera with 1.2-megapixel resolution and integrated depth processing. Providing high-resolution and temporally stable depth information at 30ps, even during rapid movements and changing lighting conditions, makes it suitable for applications that require precise 3D data at real-world process speeds
The Nion can capture moving objects with almost no blurring, and its high resistance to stray light ensures reproducible measurement results indoors and outdoors. The measuring range of 0.3m to 7.5m covers typical industrial scenarios; its IP67-rated housing enables use in demanding environments, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) reduces installation effort and cabling.
Patrick Schick, product manager for 3DVision and Imaging Software at IDS, said, "The Nion provides stable depth data even under variable lighting conditions. This provides a solid foundation for automation processes that rely on fast and accurate 3D data."
The onsemi AR0130 depth sensor provides high resolutions, low noise, and stable results in ambient light and improved motion stability, enabling the Nion to achieve high depth accuracy when objects are moving quickly and under variable lighting conditions.
Due to its compact design, high measurement quality, and value for money, the Nion offers a straightforward introduction to 3D image processing. Companies can integrate the camera into existing systems and benefit from a cost-effective solution for reliable depth data.
Schick said, “In many cases, existing 2D processes can be retained and supplemented with depth data where necessary, if this aids decision-making within the process.”
