NEW COST-EFFECTIVE, SELF-CLEANING CAMERA FILTER DEVELOPED FOR DIRTY, DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS
Created to address an unmanned vehicle need, innovative filter design maintains clear camera view while ground vehicle or surface vessel is in operation
Salt Lake City, Utah November 19, 2012 - Kairos Autonomi, Inc., a world leader in robotic
Roll-off Filter to use along with its Pronto4 Robotic Appliqu© Kit.
The filter consists of a protective shield that fits over the standard Kairos Autonomi camera and mechanically self-cleans while the vehicle is in motion. This provides the camera with a clear view, as well as a longer lifespan that can shoot 100 frames through its own selfcleaning process.
"Kairos Autonomi has recognized the need for a self-cleaning camera filter through its experience with customers, ranges and testing sites," said Troy Takach, President and CEO of Kairos Autonomi. "With this information Kairos has developed an economical and simple Camera Roll-off Filter, similar to those that professional racecar drivers use to keep their field of vision clear during races."
The filter includes the following specifications:
*Distinctive, durable, lightweight metal canister design
*About 2 ½ inches wide and 8 inches long
*Innovative design protects camera in dusty and harsh weather conditions
*Reliability and functionality is smooth during operation
*Assembly and installation is simple and allows for easy on and off control

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
