With 12-megapixel resolution and a frame rate of up to nine images per second, the new 3D stereo camera from Balluff enables highly accurate 3D image processing, even with moving objects.

The new BVS 3D_RV1 3D provides the high level of detection accuracy required for demanding industrial automation and logistics applications with working distances up to 4 M. It was specifically developed for detecting and handling small and complex parts, even in large detection areas, such as demanding bin picking and machine tending applications. Adjustable lenses and a built-in projector provide optimal image results for most workspaces.

The camera operates according to the GigE Vision standard and uses a GenICAM-compatible software interface. This provides a high level of flexibility for users to create their own applications with the supplied SGM producer library or with compatible third-party software, such as Halcom or OpenCV.

The software package is available as a free download. It contains GUI tools — 3D viewer, calibration tool and status tool — as well as important libraries that are needed for 3D processing on an external graphics card. All Nvidia GPUs are supported.
