Ideal Applications
1. High-Speed Conveyor Inspection in Manufacturing
In automated conveyor systems, products often move continuously, making image distortion a common problem. The IDS NXT rio GS18031 uses a global shutter sensor to capture the entire scene at the same instant, producing sharp images even at higher line speeds. This allows reliable detection of defects such as missing components, surface marks, or incorrect assembly. Precise hardware triggering ensures images are captured at the correct position on the line, while integrated industrial I/O enables tight synchronization with lighting and sensors. These capabilities support consistent, repeatable inspection in electronics, metal processing, and general manufacturing environments.
2. Inline Dimensional Measurement and Metrology
Automated metrology applications depend on geometrically accurate images for repeatable measurement. The global shutter design of the IDS NXT rio GS18031 prevents skew and distortion when parts move during image capture. Its balanced 3.15 MP resolution provides sufficient detail for measuring edges, holes, and profiles without excessive data processing. Flexible exposure and gain control help maintain contrast across different materials and surface finishes. Combined with stable GigE data transfer, the camera integrates well into inline gauging systems used for molded components, machined parts, and precision assemblies.
3. Vision-Guided Robotics and Pick-and-Place Systems
Robotic automation requires precise visual feedback to calculate object position and orientation. The IDS NXT rio GS18031 supports deterministic image acquisition through hardware triggering, ensuring images are captured at repeatable points in the robot cycle. The global shutter sensor eliminates image distortion caused by motion or vibration, improving positional accuracy. Integrated opto-isolated inputs and outputs allow direct communication with controllers and sensors. Its compact form factor and standard lens mount make it suitable for both fixed and robot-mounted installations in assembly, logistics, and sorting applications.
4. Surface Inspection with Synchronized Industrial Lighting
Surface inspection tasks often rely on short, intense light pulses to highlight defects. The IDS NXT rio GS18031 provides dedicated flash control and industrial I/O for precise synchronization with external lighting. This ensures consistent illumination across inspection cycles, revealing fine surface imperfections. The global shutter sensor maintains uniform exposure across the entire image, even with short exposure times. Image adjustment features support tuning for different materials, making the camera effective for quality control of automotive parts, packaging materials, and precision-machined surfaces.
5. Laboratory Imaging and Automated Test Systems
In laboratory and development environments, imaging systems must adapt to varying test conditions while delivering repeatable results. The IDS NXT rio GS18031 offers a wide exposure range, supporting both fast dynamic tests and low-light experiments. Its onboard image memory helps stabilize acquisition during burst capture or triggered sequences. Software-based triggering enables integration with automated test scripts and measurement routines. These characteristics make the camera suitable for research, prototype validation, and test benches where timing accuracy and image consistency are critical.
