The Helios2 Time of Flight (ToF) camera is an IP67 “factory tough” 3D camera featuring Sony’s DepthSense sensor, engineered for high performance operation in industrial environments. Built for demanding 24/7 environments and a variety of industrial 3D applications such as robotics, 3D inspection, and logistics, including advanced material handling, pick and place, sorting, palletization / de-palletization, volume estimation, and more. The Helios2 delivers sub-millimeter precision and improved accuracy compared to the previous Helios. The calibration between the VCSELs and sensor timing is enhanced resulting in more 3D detail, along with improved edge detection to reduce flying pixels and overall noise.

The compact Visionary-T Mini 3D snapshot cameras from SICK with their simple operation and excellent data quality provide the solution to virtually all industrial 3D machine vision requirements. Thanks to the advanced 3D time-of-flight technology, each pixel delivers extremely accurate depth and intensity data. The camera captures its surroundings extremely reliably even in strong light/dark contrast conditions and at long distances, and delivers precise data even for moving objects thanks to its very short image capture time. A clearly structured configuration tool makes it easy to parameterize the device and flexibly adapt the data to the specific application. This makes Visionary-T Mini an ideal, cost-efficient solution, e.g., for logistics, robotics or industrial vehicles.

The modular and flexible 3D camera system

The Ensenso X series is a modular and ultraflexible 3D camera system. The projector module with 100 W LED projector power is equipped with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch and can be combined with selected GigE uEye camera models to a customised 3D camera system.

The camera mounting brackets are available in a range of widths to allow for the implementation of base lines with different sizes. You can also configure the camera's angle of view and choose between various C-mount lenses with different focal lengths for the camera and projector. This flexibility facilitates a wide range of working distances of more than 5 metres, allowing you to capture objects with volumes of several cubic metres, e.g. heavily-laden pallets or entire rooms. You can choose between camera models with 1.3 megapixel or 5 megapixel resolution for an even greater field of view and a higher level of detail.

For particularly high demands on robustness, the Ensenso X30 and Ensenso X36 3D camera systems are optionally available with IP65/67 and therefore protected against dirt, dust, water splashes or cleaning agents as well as accidental shifting of the optics.
