LUCID Vision Labs, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of innovative industrial cameras, today announced at ITE 2019 in Yokohama, Japan, the first model of the new Atlas10 10GBASE-T camera family featuring the new 24.5 MP Sony Pregius S back-illuminated global shutter CMOS sensor.
By combining a fast 10 Gigabit Ethernet PoE interface with a 4th generation Sony Pregius S image sensor, Atlas10 delivers a new level of performance for high speed applications. The first model in the Atlas10 camera series features the 24.5 MP Sony Pregius S IMX530 global shutter 4/3” CMOS image sensor offering up to 50 frames per second at full resolution. It utilizes Sony’s proprietary back-illuminated pixel structure which enables a reduction in pixel size to 2.74 μm while still maintaining excellent imaging performance compared to previous Sony Pregius generations. The Atlas10 features active sensor alignment which minimizes sensor tilt and rotation and helps to maximize optical performance of large sensors with small pixels such as the IMX530.
“It’s a great milestone for LUCID to introduce the Atlas10 GigE Vision camera at ITE 2019 and demonstrate the performance of the 4th generation Sony S Pregius sensor over 10GBASE-T with PoE,” says Rod Barman, Founder and President at LUCID Vision Labs. “The Atlas10 provides 10x faster frame rates than Gigabit Ethernet and enables the faster speeds of Sony’s newest Pregius S image sensors, while providing superior image quality in a compact camera size.”
All LUCID cameras conform to the GigE Vision 2.0 and GenICam3 standards and are supported by LUCID’s own Arena software development kit. The Arena SDK provides customers with easy access to the latest industry standards and software technology. The SDK supports Windows, Linux 64bit and Linux ARM operating systems, and C, C++, C# and Python programming languages.
The first Atlas10 ATX245S model featuring the Sony Pregius S IMX530 will enter series production in early Q2 2020. Additional sensors of Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S line will be released later in 2020.
2k line scan Triton GigE Vision camera
LUCID Vision Labs has also announced the series production of its new 2K line scan Triton GigE Vision camera.
The Triton line scan camera is the newest addition to the Triton series, featuring the “2K AMS Dragster DR-2k-7” monochrome line scan sensor with a 7 μm pixel size and a resolution of 2048 x 1 at a line rate of 60 kHz. Additional features such as IP67 protection, a robust M12 Ethernet GPIO connector, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a temperature range (0°C to 55°C ambient), ensure a reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Due to its lightweight, compact 29 mm x 29 mm size, the Triton line scan camera is smaller than most line scan cameras on the market and can easily fit in nearly any application. All Triton cameras feature active sensor alignment which helps to minimize sensor tilt and rotation for a maximum image sharpness.
“We’re excited to further expand our camera portfolio with our first line scan camera and leverage the industrial features the Triton camera platform offers,” says Rod Barman, Founder and President at LUCID Vision Labs. “Many continuous manufacturing environments require IP67 protection, robust Ethernet connectors, Power over Ethernet, a compact camera size and a competitive price point. The Triton line scan camera provides all these benefits and therefore is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications such as automated optical inspection, material sorting & grading, optical character recognition and pharmaceutical inspection.”
