Versatile sensors. Established interfaces.

The precisely crafted unibody housing and a wide range of CMOS sensors from Sony and CMOSIS form the basis for this versatile industrial camera. The EXO is easy to integrate thanks to the large number of standardized mounting holes and offers a stable connection for any type of lens.

With an excellent image, outstanding temperature performance, multiple inputs, PLC functionality and a multichannel strobe controller, the EXO offers an extremely flexible, powerful and economical overall package.

Powerful features

EXO Tracer

The EXO Tracer is based on the proven camera technology of the successful EXO series, whereby all the features of the EXO have been fully adopted. Due to the dimensions of the Micro Four Thirds bayonet, the housing of the EXO Tracer is slightly larger. As with the EXO, this larger, robust housing is characterized by an excellent thermal concept that ensures optimum heat dissipation.

The embedding of the lens control in the GenICam 3.0 tree of the camera allows any GenICam application to control the lens without additional drivers. The integrated strobe controller is also mapped in the GenICam tree, all settings are realized as GenICam properties.

The geometry of the sensor-side beam path, which applies to all MFT lenses, harmonizes perfectly with sensor sizes from 2/3″ to 1.2″ and thus guarantees an extremely clean flat field. Resolutions of up to 20 MP and a dynamic range of up to 72 dB result in an outstanding image with the highly sensitive sensors.

MFT lenses (often magnetically mounted) prove to be surprisingly robust in operation and have been tested to work perfectly even after 1 million focusing cycles. Typical focus and zoom times are comparable to those of sophisticated photography.

Many interfaces and an extended temperature range

A close thermal connection of the low-power optimized electronics and the sensor to the unibody housing enables operating temperatures of 60°C for most EXOs. The EXO is available with the established GigE Vision, Camera Link and USB3 Vision interfaces and supports the latest standards such as GenICam 3.0 and USB 3.1. In the tracer version, it controls all lens functions such as zoom, focus and iris with its MFT bayonet. The integrated power I/O interface enables simple control tasks to be performed with hardware precision via the PLC functionality and/or up to 4 LED lights to be controlled directly without additional drivers.

The EXO series therefore fulfills a wide range of different requirements: A robust and precise industrial camera, extremely scalable with a wide range of CMOS sensors, easy to integrate thanks to standardized pinouts and consistent dimensions, extremely flexible due to availability in the most important interface standards and rich in important features.
