At Vision Messe 2022 we announced the third member of our apiCAM 3D camera family – the apiCAM PRO.
apiCAM PRO is a customizable and affordable depth-sensing solution. It is designed for millimetre and submillimetre-scale metrology and inspection and calculates the 6 DoF pose of a target from a single point of view, in just one shot.
apiCAM PRO is suitable for integration in manufacturing processes and in robot-arm mounted operations. The small form factor under 29×29 mm and light weight of under 150g makes it ideal for applications where space is limited and when larger and heavier vision systems are not suitable. It excels in applications where the image and depth map need to be exactly matched. This seamless image and depth perception ability increases dramatically the speed of assembly and test processes and lowers the cost of 3D inspection and quality assurance of exceptionally fine detail and micro features, at very close range.
apiCAM PRO is ideal for challenging millimetre and submillimetre-scale metrology. It simplifies digitization of micro-features. Just one camera with a single lens eliminates the need for complex image/depth matching algorithms while also avoiding the need for multiple images at distinct positions. It reduces the overall cost of additional devices. Other potential applications include optical inspections of small parts, micro positioning, as well as alignment and scanning of small objects for digital and augmented reality training and maintenance support services in the metaverse.
