The new USB3 cameras from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH are compatible with the Vision standard, feature a Micro-B connector and are available exclusively as board-level versions with or without C/CS or S-mount lens holders.

Industrial-quality low-cost cameras are a key growth driver for automation – after all, it’s not always a high-end solution. IDS’s low-cost portfolio specifically addresses cost-sensitive applications and has so far included the camera families uEye XCP (closed zinc die-cast housing, 29x29x17 mm) and uEye XLE (various sizes from board-level models to closed plastic housings). types) are included. , It is now being expanded to include the uEye XLS camera family. These are small board-level cameras with dimensions of only 29x29x7 mm, which are small for the frequently required camera functions and can therefore be offered at a particularly low cost. They are available at a list price of $165.

The new USB3 cameras from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH are compatible with the Vision standard, feature a Micro-B connector and are available exclusively as board-level versions with or without C/CS or S-mount lens holders. Board-level cameras are small enough that they can be inserted directly into lens holders. Users can choose between different sensors ranging from 2 to 12 MP. Due to their minimal heat generation, uEye+ XLS cameras are particularly well suited for device manufacturing and embedded vision applications.

With the low-cost portfolio of IDS, companies can now reap the benefits of industrial cameras even with limited budgets. The range of applications extends from rapid prototyping and automation of previously unprofitable small series to image processing projects with large numbers of cameras.
