The IDS uEye Nion 3D camera delivers high-resolution 3D imaging using advanced indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) technology, enabling precise depth measurement, stable edge detection, and reliable object recognition in demanding industrial environments.
At its core is the 1.2 MP ON Semi AF0130 iToF sensor, providing up to 4× higher spatial resolution than conventional VGA-based 3D cameras. This enables detailed depth maps, improved detection of fine structures, and more accurate scene analysis for automation and inspection tasks.
With on-sensor depth processing, global shutter operation, and a high-speed readout architecture, the Nion captures consistent, real-time 3D data for both static and moving objects. Its robust performance across varying lighting conditions — including low light, artificial illumination, and direct sunlight – makes it ideal for real-world industrial applications.
Designed for factory and field deployment, the Nion features a rugged IP67-rated housing, integrated 940 nm illumination, and a GigE Vision interface for seamless integration into machine vision systems.
