Terabee 3Dcam VGA (base connectors)

The latest addition to Terabee’s Industry 4.0 offering, 3Dcam VGA combines price, performance and versatility to come out a winner. Robust, IP65- and IP67-rated, this device is the smallest, lightest and most affordable industrial-grade Time-of-Flight 3D camera in its class.

With the widest field of view (90° × 67.5°), VGA resolution (640 × 480 pixels) and as a Class 1 laser product, 3Dcam VGA is a key component in industrial automation and industry 4.0 solutions. It is suitable for applications such as logistics, mobile robotics, human-machine interaction, level monitoring, smart agriculture and people and movement detection.

Its onboard computing and open software platform mean you are free to use existing code libraries and to run applications on the edge for even greater process efficiency.

Key product features:

• Eye-safe near infrared VGA (640 × 480 pixels) Time-of-Flight camera
• Wide Field of View (90° × 67.5°)
• Range: 0.35 m to 5 m, for indoor use, up to 30 frames per second
• Rugged IP65 and IP67-rated enclosure
• Compact and lightweight form factor: 100 × 87 × 32 mm, < 450 g
• Gigabit Ethernet, RS485 and digital output
• Embedded open edge computing platform for customizable applications
• Connector option: base

 

Versatility:

As the smallest, lightest and most compact industrial-grade 3D depth camera, 3Dcam VGA integrates more easily into smaller spaces and applications. It can be attached to moving equipment with less impact.


Time-of-Flight Advantages:

By using active Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology to sense depth, the 3D camera collects depth image data. The camera does not require ambient light for optimal performance so it is suitable for applications in low light or complete darkness.

As a Class 1 laser product, this device can be used in a wide range of applications and locations, and in proximity to people, without concerns for eye-safety.

Benefits from onboard computing and an open platform:

Onboard computing means that users can run applications on the edge. Reducing system complexity increases robustness. Cost-savings are also obtained by reducing compute module costs and the complexity of network communications and their potential service interruptions.

Terabee 3Dcam VGA provides an open Linux-based platform, bringing ease-of-use and set-up, from existing code libraries in Python and C++. An SDK (including APIs, examples, GUI, ROS nodes) are available for Linux and Windows operating systems.
