IDS To Unveil New High-Resolution Sensor Cameras, uEye XCP, uEye XLE, uEye Warp10 And Ensenso S, At VISION 2021 Event

From precise monitoring to picking and automation, there are countless applications that benefit from reliable image information. However, what can be done, when there is only a tight budget for the realization of such an application?

With the introduction of uEye XCP, uEye XLE, and Ensenso S, globally renowned camera specialist, IDS (IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH) proves that industrial-grade image processing technology does not have to be expensive. For users, who need a camera for particularly fast data transfer and also require high-resolution sensors, there will be the uEye Warp10 camera, scheduled to come out in the future.

IDS NXT embedded vision system

All innovations will be presented at VISION 2021, on the IDS booth 8C60, with the help of demo systems

The company also has big plans for IDS NXT software solution. The next software update will follow in October 2021, making the embedded vision system even more user-friendly and the AI behind it, much easier to understand. All innovations will be presented at VISION 2021, on the IDS booth 8C60, with the help of demo systems.

IDS invites everyone who is not able to visit the trade fair in person, to take a virtual tour of the booth, on the IDS Vision Channel. On the channel, users can discover the new products and at the same time, attend as regular VISION visitors.

uEye XCP, uEye XLE, uEye Warp10 and Ensenso S cameras

• uEye XCP: Smallest industrial camera with housing and C-mount - The new uEye XCP camera family from IDS shows that cost-effective industrial cameras with C-mount, can also be offered in the industry's smallest standard format. Initially, the USB3 camera will be launched with the 2.3 MP AR0234 global shutter sensor and the 5 MP AR0521 rolling shutter sensor from ON Semiconductor. Their cost-optimized design makes them ideal for high-volume and price-sensitive projects. The cameras feature a fully enclosed die-cast zinc housing, measuring approx. 29 x 29 x 17 mm. Their C-mount adapter allows the use of common lens sizes and ensures a favorable system price.
• uEye XLE: Versatile and consistently cost-optimized - For anyone looking for cameras that are specifically designed for high-volume and price-sensitive projects, the uEye XLE camera family is worth considering. Thanks to different housing and lens holder variants, extremely compact dimensions, and USB3 interface, the cameras can be easily integrated into any image processing system. Customers can choose between models with plastic housing and C/CS mount or S-mount, and board-level version, with or without C/CS mount or S-mount lens holder. Available with the 2.3 MP sensor ON Semiconductor AR0234 and the light-sensitive 5 MP sensor ON Semiconductor AR0521, other sensors will follow.
• uEye Warp10: 10GigE high-speed for image data - For users with particularly high demands on resolution, image quality and transmission speed, IDS will launch industrial cameras with a 10GigE high-speed interface and various sensors, under the brand name, uEye Warp10. They are capable of precisely capturing even high-speed processes and forwarding the image information in the network, without any delay. They excel in sports analysis, as well as in high-precision surveying and inspection tasks. The company plans to implement large-format sensors, up to 45 MP.
• Ensenso S: Compact and budget-friendly 3D camera - Ensenso S has been specially designed for 3D applications that require budget-friendly, easy-to-integrate, and industrial-grade camera technology. They are especially designed for price-sensitive projects in logistics, automation, or agriculture, which can now benefit from industrial-grade 3D imaging. The models are equipped with an ultra-compact zinc die-cast housing (IP 65/67), a 1.6 MP Sony sensor and an infrared LED laser, and provide robust 3D information, even in low ambient light.
• IDS NXT ocean: Embedded vision system with AI becomes even more user-friendly - This solution offers Artificial Intelligence (AI) running directly on cameras and enormous flexibility through vision apps. This makes tasks possible, where conventional image processing reaches its limits. IDS will offer users all the necessary and perfectly coordinated tools and workflows, to realize their own AI vision applications, without prior knowledge. The next free software update will be released in October 2021. It will focus on user-friendliness, for example, new features will be integrated into the IDS NXT cockpit, as well as on making Artificial Intelligence (AI) comprehensible. New helpful tools, such as attention maps, illustrate how the camera AI works and makes decisions.
