IDS adds numerous new USB3 cameras to its product range

Customers can choose the right model for their applications from a total of six construction variants and numerous CMOS sensors in the CP and LE camera series of the uEye+ product line.

Anyone who needs readily available industrial cameras for image processing projects is facing a difficult task due to the worldwide chip shortage. IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH has therefore been pushing the development of alternative USB3 hardware generations with available, advanced semiconductor technology in recent months and has consistently procured components for this purpose. Series production of new industrial cameras with USB3 interface and Vision Standard compatibility has recently started. Customers can choose the right model for their applications from a total of six construction variants and numerous CMOS sensors in the CP and LE camera series of the uEye+ product line.


The models of the uEye CP family are particularly suitable for space-critical applications thanks to their distinctive, compact magnesium housing with dimensions of only 29 x 29 x 29 millimeters and a weight of around 50 grams. Customers can choose from global and rolling shutter sensors from 0.5 to 20 MP in this product line. Those who rather prefer a board-level camera should take a look at the versatile uEye LE series. These cameras are available with coated plastic housings and C-/CS-mount lens flanges as well as board-level versions with or without C-/CS-mount or S-mount lens mounts. They are therefore particularly suitable for projects in compact equipment manufacturing and for integration into embedded vision systems. IDS initially offers the global shutter Sony sensors IMX273 (1.6 MP) and IMX265 (3.2 MP) as well as the rolling shutter sensors IMX290 (2.1 MP) and IMX178 (6.4 MP). More sensors will follow.

The USB3 cameras are perfectly suited for use with IDS peak thanks to the Vision Standard transport protocol USB3 Vision®. The Software Development Kit includes programming interfaces in C, C++, C# with .NET and Python, as well as tools that simplify the programming and operation of IDS cameras while optimizing factors such as compatibility, reproducible behavior and stable data transmission. Special convenience features reduce application code and provide an intuitive programming experience, enabling quick and easy commissioning of the cameras.

Goudsmit Magnetics - Magnetic robot grippers for automated processes

Magnetic robot end-of-arm tooling are suitable for the automated pick-up and positioning of steel or other ferromagnetic objects. They can be switched on and off and have a threaded mounting hole for robots. Magnetic grippers are an efficient alternative for traditional robot grippers. Application in automated production lines and for robots and pick-and-place systems. Magnetic product handling reduces the duration and number of operations. Goudsmit Magnetics is driven by magnetism since 1959. See how it works: https://youtu.be/hcXJ98mXHZE
