The Vision Cam XM2 smart camera is known for its balanced performance and compact design, particularly in edge AI applications. Now, it offers a range of new sensor options —including both monochrome and color versions— that provide users with even more flexibility to meet their specific requirements. In industries where high-resolution inspections and real-time image processing are critical, these new sensors represent a significant advancement.

EXPANDED SENSOR RANGE: TAILORED FOR PRECISION AND PERFORMANCE

• 12 MPixel Model: A new high-resolution version of the Vision Cam XM2 offers 12 megapixels, ideal for applications that require fine image details and utmost precision. This model is particularly suited for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, where capturing complex patterns and minute defects at lower frame rates is essential.
• 5 MPixel Version with Lower Frame Rate: The existing Vision Cam XM2 delivers an impressive 165 frames per second (fps) at 5 MPixels, but IMAGO now offers a version with the same resolution but at a lower frame rate. This more cost-effective variant allows companies to maintain the powerful 5 MPixel resolution, ideal for scenarios where extreme speed is not required but high image quality remains crucial.
• Line Cameras with 2,560 and 4,096 Pixels: In addition to area sensors, IMAGO has introduced two new line camera variants with the Cam XM2 Line Scan. These models are equipped with sensors of 2,560 pixels and 4,096 pixels and are optimized for continuous material inspection, such as in web inspection applications. With line scan technology, the Vision Cam XM2 ensures flawless inspection of materials like textiles, metals, and packaging across their full width, guaranteeing precision and defect detection on high-speed surfaces.

POWERFUL SMART CAMERA: AI MEETS FLEXIBILITY

The Vision Cam XM2 model family impresses as a smart camera with on-board processing and AI capabilities. Powered by the NVIDIA Jetson ORIN System-on-a-Chip (SoC), it combines 6 ARM Cortex A78 CPUs, 1,024 GPU cores, and 32 Tensor cores for maximum computing power. Whether executing advanced AI algorithms or handling multi-core tasks, the camera is designed to perform complex image processing tasks directly without additional hardware overhead.

The new sensors are fully integrated into these powerful edge AI functions, meaning tasks like defect detection, process optimization, and object recognition can be executed directly on the camera. This leads to faster decision-making processes, reduced latency, and lower costs.

FLEXIBILITY AND COST SAVINGS

These new models reflect IMAGO Technologies’ commitment to providing customers with flexible and customizable solutions. Whether extremely high resolution, lower frame rates, or seamless material inspection is required, the Vision Cam XM2 now offers a broader selection of options without sacrificing performance.

For developers, the development process remains quick and easy thanks to free programmability and the integration of the HALCON library, which supports over 2,000 operators, including GPU and AI functions. The ViewIT software platform continues to facilitate application development, supporting programming languages such as Python and C++.

MAXIMUM VERSATILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

With the introduction of these new sensors, the Vision Cam XM2 becomes even more versatile, providing solutions for a wide range of applications—from high-speed manufacturing processes requiring real-time inspection to specialized tasks needing higher resolutions or longer exposure times.

The new sensors of the Vision Cam XM2 offer you the flexibility you need for future-proof production processes.
