GigE Industrial Cameras

IDS is launching two new industrial camera models with GigE interface and Power-over-Ethernet capability. The UI-5360CP and UI-5270CP models are part of the GigE uEye CP range and feature the recently introduced Revision 3 CMV2000 and CMV4000 CMOS sensors from CMOSIS. They combine an good resolution of up to 2048 x 2048 pixels with high light sensitivity and rapid frame rates. The 2.2 MP version can capture up to 36 frames per second, while the 4.2 MP version achieves an impressive 19 fps. They also have 60 MB of onboard memory for temporary storage of pictures. The standard IDS software support delivers the same plug & play convenience offered by the manufacturer's USB models. In addition to their pixel architecture, which reduces fixed pattern noise and hiss, the Revision 3 CMOSIS sensors provide a range of other features that are extremely interesting for numerous machine vision applications. The multi-AOI function with up to eight AOIs allows simultaneous inspection of different features at high speeds. Meanwhile, the line scan mode enables frame rates of up to 8000 fps to be achieved. This makes the cameras a cost-effective alternative to expensive line scan cameras, such as those used in bottle or endless web inspection systems.
