High-Speed Barcode & Direct Part Mark Verification
The U3-33D0XCP with Sony IMX900 captures sharp, high-resolution images even on fast conveyor lines. Its 67 fps frame rate and global shutter freeze motion, ensuring barcodes and engraved part marks remain crisp. By using region-of-interest settings, processing speeds up while focusing only on code areas. The small optical format enables close mounting to products without losing depth of field, reducing read errors and maintaining consistent production throughput, even when items are vibrating or positioned at slight angles.
Robotic Bin-Picking and Docking Assistance
Compact and lightweight, the U3-33D0XCP fits easily onto robotic arms or mobile robots. The IMX900’s global shutter freezes movement during fast pick-and-place operations, while its small pixel size captures fine object details for precise positioning. The camera’s size and C-mount design allow integration into tight spaces, and high-speed USB3 transfer minimizes data lag. This results in more accurate robotic guidance, reduced docking errors, and improved efficiency in busy industrial or warehouse environments.
Inline Inspection of Small Components
Ideal for electronics and precision manufacturing, the U3-33D0XCP detects fine details such as solder joints, connector pins, or micro-scratches. Its global shutter ensures distortion-free images during fast-moving assembly lines, while high-resolution capture supports precise measurement and defect detection. Using short exposure times under controlled lighting prevents blur, enabling stable and reliable inspection. This allows manufacturers to maintain high quality standards while keeping production speeds optimized.
Motion Tracking in Traffic and Sports Analysis
The U3-33D0XCP’s ability to maintain geometric accuracy with its global shutter makes it perfect for tracking high-speed subjects like vehicles or athletes. Its high frame rate reduces motion artifacts, while strong low-light performance supports nighttime or indoor events. The small optical size works well with long focal length lenses, making the camera suitable for fixed roadside monitoring or discreet sports analytics setups. The result is consistent, clear image data for accurate speed measurement and movement analysis.
Embedded Vision for Smart Devices
For OEMs developing compact imaging systems, the U3-33D0XCP offers consistent image quality in a small footprint.
