Learn how the new IDS Imaging GigE Vision IP65/67 cameras can save you money

IDS Imaging Factory Automation (IP65/67) cameras have been released with key features to help save money on industrial installations.

The new versions are “plug & play” with 3rd party GigE Vision software such as Cognex Vision Pro & National Instruments Vision software.

The IDS Imaging GigE uEye FA (Factory Automation) industrial cameras are specifically designed for harsh environments, providing IP65/67 protection using a GigE interface.

Using a water tight lens barrel and M12 connector eliminates the need for costly IP65/67 enclosures, saving space and additional assembly costs. Attractively priced, the FA cameras are an excellent camera for harsh environments versus standard cameras with enclosures.

Key Features are as follows:

IP65 / IP67 Protection – Eliminates the need for an additional costly enclosure, protecting against dirt, dust and water splashing.
GigE Vision compliant models – “GV” models available for use with GigE Vision compliant 3rd party vision software or use with the robust IDS Imaging Cockpit software and SDK using the “UI” models
Compact size with IP65/67 protection – Measuring 41mm x 52mm x 43mm long, the camera design provides less volume than using additional enclosures with non IP rated cameras
8-Pin IP Rated connectors – Used for GPIO, trigger and flash within harsh environments.
GigE PoE Interface – Using Power over Ethernet (PoE), one cable can be utilized for data and power saving money on installations.
Resolutions from 2.3 to 5MP using the Popular Sony Pregius CMOS image sensors (IMX249, IMX265), IMX264) in Mono and Color models

Low cost, entry level camera, but full featured! Learn about the new VGA, 138 fps, USB3, global shutter camera from IDS priced below $400

Low cost imaging just got redefined with the new IDS UI-3130 LE USB3.1 model cameras. Typical entry level cameras previously had very few features, until now.

IDS Imaging has released the UI-3130LE USB3.1 camera with the 1/4″ ON-SEMI Python 480 global shutter sensor. Providing 138 fps at full resolution and 420 fps with the 2X sub-sampling feature, the new series provides a great low cost entry level camera at 0.5MP resolution, and packed with many features

Contact us for a quote on the IDS-UI-3130LE camera.

The new IDS UI-3130LE cameras are available in board level, board level with S-mount or fully housed configurations with monochrome and color sensors. The ON-SEMI Python 480 with 4.8um pixels is one of the latest image sensors providing low noise, high Quantum Efficiency and great sensitivity.

Feature Highlights

Even with at a entry level cost, the UI-3130LE is packed with features such as 4X Multi Area Of Interest (AOI), long exposure settings to 5 seconds and Type C USB3.1 allowing external power output.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) is included in the UI-3130CP model to address difficult imaging scenes where its desired to see the darks and brights without saturating or being too dim.

Example: Image to the right uses various “kneepoints” allowing HDR to be achieved

The HDR mode utilizes kneepoints, where the exposure time is divided into sections. After each section, excessively light pixel values are reduced to a limit value and briefly post exposed. This prevents overexposure and increases the dynamic range.

The uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 is the first USB 3.1 Gen 1 industrial camera with a pioneering, reversible USB Type-C connector which supports USB Power Delivery for the first time. The board-level versions also has a 10-pin I/O SMD connector for GPIO, trigger and flash. Via USB Power Delivery, it is possible to provide a variable peripheral power supply to the camera’s I/O connector.

The new LE’s will also soon support liquid lens technology for OptoTune and Varioptics lenses.. Contact us to learn more about this upcoming feature.

Do you need high camera data rates and reliable image transfer at 6.25Gbits /sec? Learn about CoaXPress & the new Xtium-CXP PX8 frame grabber!

Do you need high camera data rates and reliable image transfer at rates at 6.25 Gbits / sec over a single cable reaching 100+ meters?

CoaXPress (CXP) may be the perfect interface to solve your problems!

First, let us explain - What is CoaXPress (CXP) and its benefits?
CoaXpress, established in March 2011, has become the worlds leading standard for high speed imaging in various industries from machine vision, medical imaging, life sciences and defense. Combining the simplicity of coaxial cables with state of the art high-speed serial data technology, CoaXPress is a very desirable solution for high speed imaging and data transmission. Click here for a list of CoaXPress camera options

Benefits of CoaXPress (CXP) include:

6.25 Gbps per cable for image and data transfer with higher speeds using aggregate cables up to 25 Gbps!
Long Cable lengths up to 100 meters using standardized connections.
One cable solution can provide digital video, power, trigger and GPIO
Cost effective cable solutions which are hot pluggable.
Real time behavior with fixed, very low latency transmission.
Potential to re-use existing coaxial cable to upgrade image systems.

CoaXPress is an interface which requires a frame grabber on the host computer which communicates with the camera.

Teledyne Dalsa has recently adopted CoaXPress into the popular Xtium family of frame grabbers providing a robust solution based on the current Xtium platform.

The Xtium-CXP PX8 is based on the industry standard PCI Express Gen 2.0 expansion bus to deliver high speed access to host memory over 8 lanes. Featuring a half length PCIe card with 4 input channels of up to 6.25 Gb/s, fully supported by Dalsa's Sapera LT SDK.

What is the key differentiator of the Xtium-CXP PX8 CoaXPress frame grabber?

Free Run Time licences
When using Teledyne Dalsa's Sapera processing library, the Xtium series offers free run-time licenses for Sapera processing standard Run-Time (RTL). The standard tools include access to over 350 highly optimized image processing functions and tools for area based search, blob analysis and image calibration! If you are already using Sapera processing, you have an immediate cost savings!

Trigger to Image Reliability framework
The Xtium series support Sapera LT’s Trigger-to-Image (T2IR) framework for maximum reliability of the image acquisition system. The T2IR functions provide critical, real-time details of system events that help track and monitor acquisition, transfer, and control processes to ensure reliability of the imaging system. System up-time is increased and cost are lowered and all free of charge as part of the Sapera LT SDK.
