CX-series with up to 12 megapixel and Global Shutter CMOS sensors in compact 29 x 29 mm housing.

Thanks to ON Semiconductor PYTHON sensors, partially selected pixels are being read out not only vertically but also horizontally at increased speed, which results in significantly higher ROI frame rates. The CX cameras in compact 29 x 29 mm housing with PYTHON sensors from VGA to 5 megapixel now even more efficiently solve dynamic tasks in packaging, food and beverage, medical technology and many other industries. The new sequencer allows changing camera settings during the acquired image sequence. This is possible even at maximum sensor speed and independent of the interface bandwidth thanks to burst mode and integrated image memory. For tasks in glass inspection, for example, different types of illumination can be controlled via the camera outputs to synchronize exposure times with each and every acquired image. Selecting image-related ROI size or position is also possible, for example where detecting moving objects. The new firmware release 2 is available for all CX camera models with resolutions from VGA to 12 megapixel and which include Sony Pregius and ON Semiconductor PYTHON sensors and GigE and USB 3.0 interface. Camera integration is easy and convenient as always using the Baumer GAPI SDK.

CX series cameras merge high quality and reliability with the performance of the latest CMOS sensor generation Sony^® Pregius™ and ON Semiconductor^® PYTHON for realizing future-oriented applications. Thanks to the wide variety of sensors you are sure to find the ideal GigE or USB 3.0 camera model for most varied applications across all industries.

Extensive functionality combined with excellent image quality and high frame rates open up a wide range of applications for CX cameras. The 29 × 29 mm housing is easily installed with a high amount of flexibility – even in narrow installation environments. The square housing with all-sided M3 mount allows for very quick and cost-efficient mechanical integration. Camera events and the integrated image memory ensure synchronized process control for long-term stable image evaluation.

Baumer continues to upgrade the successful CX series with the latest CMOS sensors and up to 12 megapixel resolution. Now, firmware release 2 is speeding up image processing to greater than 1000 fps by ROI selection (Region Of Interest). The new standard-compliant sequencer in conjunction with the existing burst mode open up virtually unlimited possibilities in dynamic applications.
