Ensenso XR
Camera calculates 3D point clouds itself
The Ensenso XR stereo camera from IDS can calculate 3D point clouds itself. It then sends the data via Ethernet or WLAN to a host PC for further processing.
The Ensenso N and X series models use an industrial computer to calculate the 3D point clouds. As Ensenso XR cameras can take over the calculations themselves and forward them as a result, 3D data can be created twice as quickly in future - depending on the parameterization. Another advantage of the new camera series, according to the manufacturer, is that only one cable (for the power supply) needs to be connected to the camera, as the data is transmitted via WLAN. This is an advantage when used on robot arms, for example.
"Ensenso XR adopts the modular concept and precise detail capture of the Ensenso X series and opens up new scope thanks to the even faster capture of 3D point clouds, which will benefit many applications," says Dr. Martin Hennemann, Product Manager Ensenso at IDS. This applies, for example, to multi-camera systems where the load on bandwidth and PCs are critical factors for success, or bin picking applications that require the highest possible cycle rates.
The camera series was officially presented for the first time at Vision 2018 using a prototype. The model presented corresponds to the Ensenso-X series with a 1.3 MP sensor in terms of field of view and resolution. It can precisely capture entire pallets as well as small objects. In the case of a packed Euro pallet measuring 120 x 80 x 100 centimetres, the Z-accuracy is just under one millimetre at a camera distance of around two meters. Both variants with GigE uEye CP and robust GigE uEye FA industrial cameras (protection class IP65/67) with 1.6 MP and 5 MP sensors are planned for the Ensenso-XR series launch in spring 2019. as
