High-resolution 3 MP lenses for high-resolution USB 3.0 industrial cameras
What a sharp combination
Industrial camera manufacturer IDS Imaging Development Systems now offers lenses that are suitable for its USB 3.0 cameras with a resolution up to 3 MP and a sensor format up to 2/3". The new Fujifilm HF-XA series maintains high resolution across the entire image even with change of aperture and working distance. It consists of five models with fixed focal length: 8, 12, 16, 25 and
The compact C-Mount lens comes with a small diameter measuring only 29.5 mm. Combined with IDS CMOS cameras of the USB 3 uEye CP series measuring only 29 x 29 mm, it is especially suitable for applications in small working spaces. The 3 Megapixel lenses fully resolve at a pixel pitch of 4.4 μm, and they provide high resolution across the entire image even with change of aperture and working distance. This enables a flexible usage of the lenses in versatile applications with consistent image quality. Especially the new USB 3.0 industrial camera UI-3160CP with ON Semiconductors fast 2.3 MP CMOS sensor PYTHON 2000 (full resolution: 1920 x 1200 pixels, Full HD with more than 180 fps), it delivers sharp images from the image center to the corners.
The lenses support a sensor size of 2/3" but they are applicable even on larger sensor sizes of IDS industrial cameras up to 1/1.2" such as models with Sony IMX174 sensor.

Using AI to Collect & Leverage Data
Data is the foundation of Industry 4.0. While skilled workers will always be essential, data is reshaping the manufacturing landscape, enabling automation of repetitive tasks, empowering smarter decision-making with AI assistance, and reducing defects and downtime. This shift allows small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) to compete more effectively on quality, speed, and cost. While AI and machine learning systems typically require around two years to collect enough data to reach their full potential, manufacturers can start seeing benefits almost immediately with basic analysis tools and dashboards. Our MEP National NetworkTM expert explains how in this Manufacturing Tomorrow article.
