The webcam alternative for industrial applications
With uEye XC, IDS closes the market gap between industrial camera and webcam. Thanks to the integrated autofocus, you get perfectly sharp images and videos even with changing object distances. As a result, you can use the USB3 camera from the Vision Standard-compliant uEye+ product line for a wide range of applications – from kiosk systems to logistics and robotics.
Ready-to-use
Just plug in and get started
The uEye XC is an industrial camera with the simplicity of a webcam. Setting up and operating the camera only requires a cable connection. After that, the 13MP autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the quickly exchangeable macro lens, you can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it suitable for close-up applications, for example in medical technology.
Long product life cycle
Use of industrial components
Unlike consumer webcams, the uEye XC camera is designed for industrial use. Its components score with long availability – a must for industrial applications. Useful features such as 24x digital zoom, auto white balance and colour correction ensure that you can capture all details perfectly. If required, you can configure the camera specifically for your application with IDS peak, the powerful software development kit from IDS.
Compact lightweight
Highly versatile autofocus camera
The USB3 uEye XC is characterised by its particularly elegant and lightweight magnesium housing. With dimensions of only 32 x 61 x 19 mm (W x H x D), it is compact, sturdy despite its light weight and absolutely suitable for industrial use. Its 13 MP onsemi sensor delivers 20 fps at full resolution and, thanks to BSI technology, can easily handle changing light conditions.
Industrial camera with the simplicity of a webcam
Due to their simple, uncomplicated handling, typical consumer webcams are also often used for some machine vision applications. However, users are well aware that these attractively priced devices have significant disadvantages in terms of quality, durability and long-term availability compared to classic industrial cameras. With the uEye XC, IDS Imaging Systems GmbH addresses exactly this market segment and has developed a camera that combines the advantages of both worlds. Dipl.-Ing.
