Teledyne Vision Solutions Blackfly S USB3 machine vision cameras deliver high-performance imaging in a compact, cost-effective platform. Engineered for industrial automation, inspection, and embedded vision systems, these USB3 Vision cameras leverage high-speed data transfer and plug-and-play connectivity to provide superior image quality and flexible system integration across a wide range of industrial machine vision applications.

Available with an extensive selection of Sony STARVIS and Pregius sensors, and ON Semi PYTHON sensor models, these industrial cameras offer resolutions ranging from sub-megapixel high-speed versions to 24+ MP high-resolution systems. This diversity allows system designers to precisely optimize for speed, sensitivity, or intricate image detail. Their compact 29 × 29 mm "ice cube" form factor simplifies integration into tight spaces, making them an ideal choice for OEMs and system integrators building scalable embedded vision systems.

Beyond hardware, the Blackfly S USB3 camera platform features advanced on-camera image processing capabilities such as color correction, lossless compression, and lens shading correction to improve image quality while reducing host CPU load. Automation is further enhanced through sophisticated camera controls, including sequencers, timers, counters, and event notifications. Fully compliant with the USB3 Vision standard, the platform ensures seamless compatibility with the Teledyne Spinnaker SDK and various third-party software, effectively reducing development time and accelerating system deployment.

Teledyne DALSA is part of the Teledyne Vision Solutions group, an umbrella organization formed by Teledyne Technologies to unify its machine vision brands.
