IDS 3D camera Ensenso XR

Ensenso XR series Embedded 3D Vision

The Ensenso XR series combines the flexible, modular design of the Ensenso X series with the advantages of an embedded system. The new powerful XR projector unit with integrated system on chip processes the image data independently, making 3D data available directly from the camera. The 3D performance of the XR series can compete with that of a powerful Core i7 desktop CPU. By shifting the compute-intensive calculations to the camera, they no longer have to be performed by powerful industrial PCs. In addition, the transfer of 3D result data instead of high-resolution 2D raw data reduces the network load. Multi-camera systems in particular benefit from the resource-saving features of the XR series.

  • Direct data processing in the FPGA
  • High-resolution point clouds of large, moving objects
  • Precise 3D data with just a single pair of images
  • Ingress protection code IP65/67

System structure and equipment

Each Ensenso XR30 3D camera system consists of the new XR projector unit, two IDS GigE cameras with 1.6 MP CMOS sensors, mounting brackets, three lenses and patch cables to connect the cameras with the XR projector unit. Due to the IP65/67 ingress protection code, the system also contains lens tubes for the cameras and the projector in addition to special cables.

  • FlexView2 for maximum 3D resolution with static objects
  • Direct data processing of up to 16 image pairs in the FPGA
  • High frame rates thanks to parallel processing in the camera system
  • No time lost due to data transfer to the host PC
  • Ingress protection code IP65/67

Modular 3D vision for demanding environments

A built-in front light supports calibrating the work environment as well as the image quality of the 2D camera images. Similar to the X series, the XR-series can be flexibly adjusted with selected GigE uEye camera models to a 3D camera system customized to your requirements.

With different base lines and focal lengths, working distances of more than 5 meters can be realized and objects with volumes of several cubic meters can be captured, such as heavily laden pallets or entire rooms. The Ensenso XR models feature 1.6 MP Sony sensors and are protected against dirt, dust, splash water or cleaning agents as well as against accidental shifting of the lens thanks to IP65/67.

Applications for embedded 3D vision

Robot vision, for example (de)palletising, conveyor belt loading

Robot applications, for example bin picking

Medical technology, for example patient positioning

3D object recognition, localization, and classification

Ensenso SDK

Also the models of the Ensenso XR 3D camera series can be easily set up and operated via the Ensenso SDK. The 3D camera finder helps you to choose the right model for your application.

Since the release of the Ensenso SDK 3.3, you can also use the Ensenso PartFinder to locate objects in 3D point clouds based on your own CAD geometries. The use of the software module requires a separate license. Find out what the tool can do and what advantages it offers for your applications in the video.
