IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH has announced the release of the uEye FA industrial cameras that are particularly robust and therefore, ideally suited for demanding environmental conditions, for example in factory automation.

uEye FA industrial cameras

Starting in August 2021, IDS will offer three new sensors in the family, which include the 12 MP (IMX226) and 20.44 MP (IMX183) Sony sensors that are true high performers with high resolution and low noise. For special requirements, the company will also integrate the 5 MP polarisation sensor IMX250MZR.

Housing of the uEye FA models, lens tubes and the screwable connectors (8-pin M12 Ethernet connector with X-coding and 8-pin Binder connector) meet the requirements of protection class IP65/67. The GigE cameras can be operated either with 12-24 V or alternatively as a PoE setup (Power-over-Ethernet).

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) enables practical single-cable operation, up to a maximum length of 100 metres

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) enables practical single-cable operation, up to a maximum length of 100 metres. The cameras are typically used for machine vision tasks in industrial plants and quality assurance. Software support is provided, for example, by the modern IDS peak SDK.

Both the 12 MP rolling shutter sensor IMX226 (4000 x 3000 pixels resolution) and the 20.44 MP rolling shutter sensor IMX183 (5536 x 3692 pixels resolution) are part of the Sony STARVIS series. Thanks to BSI technology (back-side illumination), they are characterised by exceptional light sensitivity and low noise.

5 MP polarisation sensor IMX250MZR

The 5 MP polarisation sensor IMX250MZR also enables interesting application scenarios. It shows its strengths, especially in low contrast or reflective light, and helps to detect scratches on surfaces or the stress distribution within transparent objects. This makes details visible that remain hidden from other sensors.
