Teledyne FLIR IIS announces new Bumblebee X stereo vision camera [Video]

Teledyne FLIR IIS (Integrated Imaging Solutions) today announced the new Bumblebee X series – an advanced stereo-depth vision solution optimized for multiple applications. The imaging device is a comprehensive industrial-grade (IP67) stereo vision solution with onboard processing to build successful systems for warehouse automation, robotics guidance, and logistics.

Bumblebee X 5GIGE delivers on the essential need for a comprehensive and real-time stereo vision solution, the Wilsonville, Ore.-based company says. Customers can test and deploy depth sensing systems that work up to ranges of 20 meters with the wide baseline solution.

Available in three configurations

The new camera is available in three different configurations, which are identical except for the field of view (FOV) of the camera lens. Teledyne designed the camera to operate accurately across varying distances. The low latency and GigE networking make it ideal for real-time applications such as autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, pick and place, bin picking, and palletization, the company said.
