IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH is set to enhance its uEye FA series with the addition of new models incorporating Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, offering resolutions from 2 to 12.5 megapixels.
These robust cameras are designed for industrial automation and inspection, combining high image quality with durable construction to withstand harsh environments. The range expansion, available from late July, is tailored for systems facing high-pressure cleaning, dusty conditions, or sub-zero temperatures, all while maintaining IP69K protection standards.
Challenging lighting conditions
The new models are equipped to handle a spectrum of industrial tasks, from manufacturing automation to quality inspection, thanks to their capabilities in various lighting conditions. The sensor variants in the lineup include IMX662 (2 MP), IMX664 (4 MP), IMX675 (5 MP), IMX678 (8 MP), and IMX676 (12.5 MP). As GigE Vision-compliant cameras, they are easily integrated into existing infrastructures.
Sony STARVIS 2 sensors stand out for their superior light sensitivity that extends into the near-infrared range
Sony STARVIS 2 sensors stand out for their superior light sensitivity that extends into the near-infrared range, alongside minimal noise levels and the Clear HDR process, which broadens dynamic range. These features enable the cameras to capture sharp, detailed images in complex environments, further improved by an asynchronous exposure trigger for enhanced industrial suitability.
Additional high-performance models
Specifically engineered for industrial use, the camera construction ensures reliable functionality even under extreme conditions such as high pressure, significant contamination, or temperatures as low as –20°C. "The combination of robust hardware and state-of-the-art sensor technology enables precise image analysis even in challenging environments," stated Alexander Klingner, Head of Product Management at IDS. "This provides the foundation for stable and reliable processes in harsh industrial settings."
The ongoing enhancement of the uEye FA series underscores IDS's commitment to expanding its rugged camera offerings for factory automation, introducing new high-performance options to support reliable industrial processes.
The expanded uEye FA series adds models with 2 to 12.5 MP Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, combining rugged protection with high image quality for industrial automation and inspection tasks.
When production systems are cleaned using high-pressure jets, operate in dusty environments or are exposed to sub-zero temperatures, particularly robust machine vision solutions are required. The uEye FA series from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH has been specifically designed for such demanding environments, featuring IP69K protection. Starting in late July, the range will expand to include new models featuring Sony STARVIS 2 rolling shutter sensors, with resolutions ranging from 2 to 12.5 megapixels. They deliver excellent image quality even in challenging lighting conditions.
Challenging lighting conditions
This provides users with high-performance cameras for a wide range of industrial applications with varying lighting conditions – from manufacturing automation to quality inspection. The new models incorporate sensor variants IMX662 (2 MP), IMX664 (4 MP), IMX675 (5 MP), IMX678 (8 MP) and IMX676 (12.5 MP). All are GigE Vision-compliant, allowing easy integration into existing systems.
The Sony STARVIS 2 sensors impress with their exceptional light sensitivity extending into the near-infrared (NIR) range, very low noise levels, and the Clear HDR process for an expanded dynamic range. This enables the capture of detailed, sharp images even in demanding environmental conditions. An asynchronous exposure trigger further enhances their suitability for industrial use.
Additional high-performance models
The camera hardware itself has also been specifically designed for industrial applications: Thanks to the IP69K-protected housing, lens tube and corresponding cabling, the cameras operate reliably even under high pressure, heavy contamination or temperatures down to –20°C.
“The combination of robust hardware and state-of-the-art sensor technology enables precise image analysis even in challenging environments,” explains Alexander Klingner, Head of Product Management at IDS. “This provides the foundation for stable and reliable processes in harsh industrial settings.”
With this expansion of the uEye FA series, IDS is further strengthening its portfolio of rugged industrial cameras and offering additional high-performance models for factory automation.
