3D Cameras
Hardware and Software for 3D Vision and Robot Vision
3D Machine Vision is considered to be the future of Robot Vision. The integration of 3D data makes it possible to precisely capture and interpret the environment, enabling tasks in robot technology to be solved more efficiently. This applies both to demanding assembly processes, such as gluing or welding, and to the notoriously tricky process of "bin picking". With the Ensenso 3D cameras, IDS offers a solution for 3D image processing that is not only impressive in terms of precision, but also in terms of cost-effectiveness and speed.

Areas of Application of our 3D Cameras: Automate with 3D Vision
Robot Vision
Our compact 3D cameras can be used in a variety of ways for robot applications in factory automation and logistics. For example, they support de-(palletising), conveyor belt loading, bin picking during loading and unloading of trucks, in worker assistance systems or in weld seam or adhesive bead inspection. Hand-eye calibration for robots is integrated in the Ensenso SDK. The use of CAD data helps to localise objects precisely. At the same time, knowledge of the position of objects and obstacles enables fast gripping movements through complete motion planning.
Medical Equipment
Ensenso 3D cameras are used, for example, for precise patient positioning during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) examinations or radiotherapy. 3D image processing also helps in orthopaedic applications and services, e.g. for measuring feet to produce custom-fit insoles and splints or for precise measurement of the back.
Object Detection and Classification
Ensenso 3D cameras enable precise classification and counting of objects. Identification is further optimised by additional colour information. Another application is the sorting out of defective parts based on detected size deviations. In addition, fast volume determination enables efficient size classification. This versatile technology is used in order picking and quality control.
