(IDS: Obersulm, Germany) -- IDS Imaging Development Systems is expanding its 3D portfolio with Nion, an industrial time-of-flight (TOF) camera featuring 1.2-megapixel resolution and integrated depth processing.

It provides high-resolution and temporally stable depth information at 30 fps, even during rapid movements and in changing lighting conditions. This makes it suitable for applications such as logistics, automation, and robotics, where precise 3D data are required at real-world process speeds.

The Nion captures moving objects with virtually no blurring. Its high resistance to stray light ensures reproducible measurement results both indoors and outdoors. The measuring range of 0.3 to 7.5 m covers typical industrial scenarios. The robust IP67-rated housing allows it to be used in more demanding environments. Power over Ethernet (POE) reduces installation effort and cabling.

Nion captures moving objects with virtually no blurring. Ideal for fast-paced production or logistics processes.

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

Nion is the ideal solution for applications that require high levels of detail and reliable depth 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 improved motion stability. This enables the Nion to achieve high depth accuracy even when objects are moving quickly and under variable lighting conditions.

Nion is suitable for volume measurements and (de-)palletizing.

Thanks to its compact design, high measurement quality, and excellent value for money, the Nion offers a straightforward introduction to 3D image processing. Companies can integrate the camera flexibly 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 this aids decision-making within the process,” says 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 make individual inquiries there.
