automatically perfect images

Industrial camera as webcam for industry, logistics, robotics and more

Connect the camera, focus automatically, get a perfectly sharp image or video - this is especially useful when object distances change frequently. Webcams are therefore used in many kiosk and robotics applications. However, they are usually designed for the consumer market. The uEye XC is different: it closes the market gap between industrial camera and webcam. Depending on preference, customers can choose between variants with USB3 Vision (programmable) and UVC protocol (plug&play) for the autofocus camera. From kiosk systems to logistics and robotics - the uEye XC shows what counts.

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 autofocus camera with the 13 MP onsemi sensor AR1335 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.

Compact lightweight

Highly versatile autofocus camera

The 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. Available with USB3 and UVC (USB Video Class) as well as in a convenient starter set with accessories.

Quality control

For industrial production, the highest standards of quality and safety have to be met. The uEye XC shows its strengths in process and quality assurance, for example. This guarantees standardised, consistent quality of goods, improves the entire process and increases productivity.

Logistics automation

uEye XC helps to capture objects on conveyor belts, barcodes on parcels or labels on luggage. The autofocus camera provides a cost-effective solution to monitor, analyse and optimise operations from the first step to the last.

Medical technology

In dermatology, the compact autofocus camera can be used to precisely detect the finest skin lesions using the macro lens. No matter if you are performing an online consultation or diagnosis: uEye XC guarantees high-quality images and is flexible in its handling.

Discover what uEye XC makes possible

So much to discover: The autofocus camera automatically focuses on the intended subject and thus ensures a perfect distance setting. Here, the example shows the inside of a window (4 cm away from the camera), the outside of a window (8 cm), a cup placed on a facade projection (20 cm) and the surroundings (infinity). If necessary, the focus can also be controlled by software.
