The Vision Cam XM2 is a computer vision camera with integrated Edge AI. It combines high-performance sensors, AI acceleration, and an industry-grade design in one embedded vision system. Powered by the integrated NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin module, it processes image data directly on the camera – without the need for an external PC.
Computer Vision Camera
Vision Cam XM2
Description
The Vision Cam XM2 is a fully programmable computer vision camera, available as an area scan version with 5–12 MP resolution. With its combination of high-speed image capture, GPU acceleration, and robust industrial design, it is ideally suited for quality inspection, process control, and AI-based inline inspections.
Its compact housing with industrial interfaces ensures easy integration into existing production systems. Running on a Linux environment with support for C++, Python, OpenCV, and over 2,000 HALCON operators (optional), the camera offers maximum flexibility – from classic vision tasks to Deep Learning. Developers benefit from the freedom to implement custom image processing solutions.
Benefits
Compact and powerful
Measuring only 105 × 60 × 64 mm, the Vision Cam XM2 integrates processor, interfaces, and GPU directly into the housing.
AI directly on the camera
Thanks to NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin, deep learning models run locally. No external PCs with costly GPUs or cloud connections are required.
Real-time image processing
With powerful CPUs and GPU acceleration, the XM2 processes large data streams at high speed – ideal for fast production lines and precise quality control.
Fully programmable
Ubuntu Linux with support for OpenCV, Python, C++, and HALCON enables developers to create and combine their own algorithms.
Flexible sensor options
Available with 5–12 MP sensors for high-resolution imaging.
Real-time synchronization
The integrated Real-Time Communication Controller (RTCC) synchronizes imaging, illumination, and conveyor movement with microsecond precision.
Comprehensive interfaces
Gigabit Ethernet, digital I/Os, and optional encoder inputs allow seamless integration into industrial systems.
Long-term availability
IMAGO guarantees hardware consistency over many years – providing planning security and reduced validation costs for machine builders.
Support & Tools
With ViewIT, developers can start quickly, adapt template solutions, and extend them with custom algorithms. For advanced projects, the IMAGO SDK is available.
