New LX camera series with 8/12/20 megapixel and dual GigE
The new Baumer LX camera series provides a very high resolution up to 20 megapixels for challenging applications such as LCD/PCB inspection, 3D and logistics. The integrated high value CMOSIS global shutter sensors make an excellent image quality possible as well as high sensitivity and speed. The wide range of functionality and the GigE interface enable a versatile use and... -
MX Board Level Cameras with even more flexibility
A big part of the flexibility of the Baumer board level cameras results from the used flexible PCB that allows a spatial separation of sensor board and system board. Thereby increasing the freedom in mechanical design-in. With the new 200mm long flexible PCB Baumer offers even more flexibility. The accessory MX Flexprint 200mm is now available. Currently it has to be ordered parallel with... -

IP Rated Equipment: Codes & Clarification
IP stands for 'Ingress Protection' An IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests that are standardised in order to ensure equipment can be safely used in a diverse range of applications. The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against... -
Sensor Signals Timing
Each sensor has different timing. The real timing depends on: Exposure Time (ET). This time is defined by xiAPI by (XI_PRM_EXPOSURE) Data Readout Time (trd) Transfer speed (MB/s) - depends on used interface Amount of data transferred (MB) - depends on image resolution and number of bits transferred per pixel (BPP) Free-Run mode (no trigger) Each image exposition is started automatically when... -
Sensor Shutter Modes
Global Shutter Mode Basic spec Global reset of all photo diodes Integration simultaneously in all photo diodes Global transfer of all photo diode signals in sensing nodes Readout line by line Artifacts caused by subject movement Exposure time is too long (during exposure the subject displacement cause blurring of captured image) Left: Original without movement Right: Image blurred due to... -
MU9 USB Transfer Technical Note
Transfer mode MU9 cameras are connected to PC with USB 2.0. BULK data transfer is used. It guaranties data delivery, but it doesn't guarantee constant bandwidth. Packet Size Setting The MU9 cameras have two transfer packet sizes: Compatible-Size - where packets with 512 bytes are used (default) Enhanced-Size - where packets with 1024 bytes are used With Compatible-Size the camera...
