Gigabit Ethernet Camera has angled sensor head
As part of its Gigabit Ethernet camera series, IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH of Obersulm, Germany, is now offering a sensor head that is oriented at a 90°angle.
The lens is built into the side of the housing, which reduces the camera's mounting depth to 38 mm. The new design was specially developed for applications where space is limited, says the firm.
With a resolution of up to 5 megapixels, two processor cores as well as GPIO and RS232 interfaces, the Gigabit Ethernet series is the current flagship of the uEye camera range that is now available from the company. The rich set of features makes this unit a perfect choice for complex applications in industrial and non-industrial machine vision. The transmission bandwidth is significantly higher than that achievable using comparable USB-based systems, and it is possible to use a cable that is up to 100 m long.
The new uEye camera is available in various monochrome and colour versions with a CCD or CMOS sensor, and resolutions of 640 x 480 to 2560 x 1920 pixels. Like all variants of the Gigabit Ethernet series, the 90°-angled versions have a C-mount lens adaptor with adjustable flange back distance. The camera supports voltages of 6 V through to 24 V, typically used in mechanical engineering applications.
Besides a trigger input and a flash output, which are both optically decoupled, the GigE cameras have an RS232 interface and two GPIO ports that can be used either as digital inputs or outputs.
The accompanying uEye Camera Manager helps users set up the system and integrate it into existing equipment. The camera can be configured automatically as soon as it is connected to a network, which eliminates the need to adjust IP settings manually. The software development kit, which also comes with the camera, provides advanced parameter settings and is identical to the one that accompanies the uEye USB models. Upgrading to the GigE does not require any changes to the application and takes only a few minutes. says IDS.
