uEye industrial
cameras have long been associated with machine vision applications.
Now, iDS have introduced the uEye+ line of industrial cameras.
The uEye+ XLE and XCP models still provide all the main features
that the uEye platform has long-delivered and now with the iDS
Peak Software Development Kit (SDK) these new uEye+ cameras offer
both low price with performance. The uEye+ product series can
be used for a wide range of applications related to Machine Vision
and Industrial Imaging.

XLE and XCP Cameras
The uEye+ XLE and XCP camera models are perfect for price-sensitive
and high-volume applications where simple camera requirements
are needed. Like all iDS products, they are Made in Germany and
offer long-term availability with excellent user-friendliness.
More importantly, they are designed with available components
and so have relatively short lead-times.
In
the uEye XLE and XCP camera series, you can currently choose between
the 2.3 MP global shutter sensor AR0234 and the 5 MP rolling shutter
sensor AR0521 from On-semi. In addition, the 8.46 MP sensor from
the Sony Starvis series will soon be available. The product series
will continue to expand.
uEye+
XLE: particularly versatile for every application
Whether you are looking for single-board cameras with or without
C-/CS-Mount or S-Mount and USB Type-C interface for your embedded
vision solution or you seek models with coated plastic housing,
the uEye XLE cameras are extremely versatile with flexible options.
Whether in small device construction, measurement technology,
for transportation or agricultural tasks - the modern camera family
is suitable for a wide range of applications.

XCP: the smallest industrial camera with housing and C-mount
The models in this camera family measure only 29 x 29 x 17 mm
(W/H/L) and with a zinc die-cast full housing and screw-type USB
Micro-B connector, they can be used in a wide range of applications
in both industrial and non-industrial areas. Their C-mount adapter
allows the use of common lens sizes and ensures a favourable system
price.
uEye+ SDK
- iDS Peak Cockpit
Before an iDS camera is integrated into an application, its performance
can be fully evaluated using the iDS Peak Cockpit and images can
be taken without having to write a single line of programme code.
The intuitive user interface and numerous functions enable extensive
measurements and facilitate the comparison of different camera
settings. As a SDK, IDS peak includes programming interfaces and
software tools necessary for operating and programming the cameras.
Easy-to-understand convenient functions ensure an intuitive programming
experience, quick and easy commissioning and versatile application
options for your industrial cameras.
Setting up your application with an iDS uEye+ camera using iDS
Peak Cockpit enables users to configure the correct parameters
with a dialogue box that makes it easy and which stores the parameter
set for future-use. This shortens time-to-market as users aren't
required to program every parameter inside their application.
The iDS Peak Cockpit platform delivers many advantages:
Easy
Easily understood programming interfaces: C, C++, C# with
.NET and Python with identical code base.
Features facilitate programming, reduce application code,
improve readability and enhance camera application quality.
User-friendly tools, such as the IDS Peak Cockpit, simplify
and speed up the preparation of applications.
Comprehensive
Various application interfaces (C, C++, C# with .NET and
Python) for every use case
Includes many tools, such as the new IDS Peak Cockpit,
to set up your cameras even faster and easier
Many example programs are provided as source code projects
for a quick start under Windows and Linux
Versatile
Supports both the new standard vision uEye+ cameras and
your established uEye cameras
Extends FPGA-less low-cost cameras with additional features
Integrated image processing functions for frequently needed
pixel operations such as debayering, colour and gamma correction,
flipping and rotating image data as well as useful automatic modes
Independent
Independent of specific cameras - IDS Peak supports any
uEye and uEye+ camera with any firmware version
All IDS Peak libraries are available for Windows, Linux
and Linux Embedded
Compiler-independent interfaces simplify the setup
of the programming environment and increase compiler compatibility
