IDS Imaging Development Systems introduces a new 3D camera in the Ensenso product line. With its compact, industrial-grade design and the combination of a very short working distance and a large field of view, the Ensenso B is particularly suitable for bin picking applications. Thanks to its high depth of field, it is able to capture objects over a large area and to localize all parts in a container at once, for example. This optimizes the pick-and-place process and facilitates emptying of containers. The stereo vision camera is now available in series production.
The great strength of Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It provides a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. More specifically, this means that the area in which an object is sharply imaged is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimeters between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimeters. The maximum working distance is 2 meters.
