LX series: Cameras with Liquid Lens support
The 10 GigE models of the LX series enable the control of autofocus lenses with liquid lenses for fast and flexible focusing at changing working distances.
Together with new powerful functions such as shading correction or IEEE1588, a wide range of new application areas in measurement technology as well as the logistics and pharmaceutical industries can be opened up and individual application requirements can be flexibly solved. From Q1/2019, all Baumer LXT models can be easily retrofitted with the new functions via a firmware update.
The Liquid Lens support for Corning Varioptic lenses with electrically focusable liquid lenses is particularly beneficial for applications in which the distance of the object to the camera varies frequently, for example when checking 2D codes on packages of different heights. The autofocus lenses are supplied with power and controlled via the camera connection. According to the company, this allows the image processing system to focus dynamically within fractions of a second, even over large differences in the working distance, without any mechanical conversion of the optics. This simplifies and speeds up many applications within a production line.
The 10 GigE LX cameras are also equipped with a variety of new functions: Auto Features enable the adjustment of exposure time and lighting conditions to the actual lighting conditions, Sensor Multi ROI to increase the frame rate and reduce the load on data transmission, Shading Correction to correct lens and lighting artifacts. The cameras also support IEEE1588 for precise time synchronization in multi-camera systems and RS232 for communication with external serial devices.
The LX series comprises more than 40 models with Dual GigE, Camera Link or 10 GigE interface and state-of-the-art global shutter CMOS sensors from ams, ON Semiconductor and Sony. With resolutions of up to 48 megapixels and frame rates of up to 337 fps, they are suitable for demanding inspection tasks that also place high demands on the level of detail of image capture and throughput.
