IDS begins series production of the Nion 3D ToF camera

The Nion captures moving objects with virtually no blur. Its high resistance to stray light ensures reproducible measurement results both indoors and outdoors. The measurement range of 0.3 to 7.5 meters covers typical industrial scenarios. The rugged IP67-rated housing allows for use in more demanding environments. Power over Ethernet (PoE) reduces installation effort and cabling.

Patrick Schick, Product Manager for 3D Vision and Imaging Software at IDS, says: "The Nion provides stable depth data even under variable lighting conditions. This provides a solid foundation for automation processes that rely on fast and accurate 3D data."

Compared to standard ToF cameras on the market, the onsemi AR0130 depth sensor offers higher resolution, lower noise, more stable results in ambient light, and better motion stability. As a result, the Nion achieves high depth accuracy even with fast-moving objects and variable lighting conditions.

With its compact design, high measurement quality, and excellent value for money, the Nion offers a straightforward introduction to 3D image processing. Companies can easily integrate the camera into existing systems and benefit from a cost-effective solution for reliable depth data. “In many cases, existing 2D processes can be retained and supplemented with depth data where necessary, if that aids decision-making in the process,” emphasizes Patrick Schick.

The Nion 3D camera is now available in series production. Technical information is available in the IDS Webstore. You can also place orders and submit custom requests there.
