(IDS: Obersulm, Germany) — IDS Imaging Development Systems introduces a new 3D camera in the Ensenso product line. With its compact, industrial-grade design and the combination of a very short working distance and a large field of view, the Ensenso B is particularly suitable for bin-picking applications. Thanks to its high field depth, it’s able to capture objects over a large area and localize all parts in a container at once. This optimizes the pick-and-place process and facilitates emptying of containers. The stereo vision camera is now available in series production.
The housing, which accommodates two 5 MP color cameras from IDS, a pattern projector, and all the electronics, is completely enclosed. This simplifies the cabling. Ensenso B complies with protection class IP65/67, which is an advantage in demanding operating conditions. With dimensions of just 120 x 56 x 104 mm, the 3D camera’s design is also space-saving. This makes it ideal for use on a robot arm, for example.
The Ensenso B also played an important role in a video session on the company’s Vision Channel, which addressed the topic, “Full-featured 360° 3D point clouds using a multicamera setup.” Click here to log in or sign up to view.
