Flexible 3D Camera System with 100 W Projector and Gigabit Ethernet Connector

With the Ensenso X, IDS is introducing a new 3D camera system that makes 3D vision applications – 3D object recognition, localization and classification – easier and more flexible to implement. The system comprises a powerful 100 W projector unit with an integrated GigE switch on which two 1.3 megapixel cameras can be mounted at different distances. This facilitates a range of working distances and angles and allows you to capture larger objects, such as whole pallets or entire rooms. The range of applications includes anything from bin picking to warehouse and logistics automation. The Ensenso X36 also features the FlexView2 projector, which ensures an even better spatial resolution as well as a very high robustness of the system for dark, shiny or reflecting surfaces.

Ultra Compact HD Zoom Lens

The motorised 10x HD zoom lens is typically less than half the size and much lighter than other comparable zoom lens. A novel design camera mount, that incorporates topside and back focus adjustment, enables the Z10-HD to be quickly and easily set-up on any 1/3-inch, 1/3-inch 3-chip and 2/3-inch format camera.
