The uEye FA series from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH sees an expansion with the integration of 2 to 12.5 MP Sony STARVIS 2 sensors. Designed for industrial automation and inspection, these models combine robust durability with superior image quality.
For environments where production systems are subjected to high-pressure cleaning, operate amidst dust, or endure sub-zero temperatures, durable machine vision solutions become essential. The uEye FA series caters to these needs with IP69K-rated protection. Starting in late July, the series will feature new models with Sony STARVIS 2 rolling shutter sensors, offering resolution options from 2 to 12.5 megapixels to maintain image clarity in challenging lighting.
Adaptability to Variable Lighting
The series aims to provide high-performance camera solutions for diverse industrial applications, from manufacturing automation to quality inspection. The new sensors, including IMX662 (2 MP), IMX664 (4 MP), IMX675 (5 MP), IMX678 (8 MP), and IMX676 (12.5 MP), are GigE Vision-compliant, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems.
The standout features of the Sony STARVIS 2 sensors include their exceptional light sensitivity
The standout features of the Sony STARVIS 2 sensors include their exceptional light sensitivity, which extends into the near-infrared (NIR) range, low noise levels, and the Clear HDR process for enhanced dynamic range. These sensors capture detailed images even in complex environmental conditions. An asynchronous exposure trigger further enhances the sensors' industrial application suitability.
Reliability in Industrial Applications
The uEye FA series cameras are built with industrial applications in mind. Featuring IP69K-protected housing and lens tubing, along with durable cabling, these cameras operate reliably under high pressure, heavy contamination, or temperatures down to –20°C. "The combination of robust hardware and state-of-the-art sensor technology enables precise image analysis even in challenging environments," states Alexander Klingner, Head of Product Management at IDS. "This provides the foundation for stable and reliable processes in harsh industrial settings."
With the uEye FA series expansion, IDS strengthens its portfolio, offering high-performance models tailored for factory automation and further enhancing their range of rugged industrial cameras.
