LUCID Vision Labs, Inc., a prominent manufacturer of industrial machine vision cameras, has launched the **Helios2 Wide Chroma**, a compact, factory-calibrated RGB-D camera. This innovative device combines a **12.2 MP Triton® RGB camera** with LUCID’s **Helios2 Wide Time-of-Flight (ToF)** 3D camera, designed to deliver synchronized color and depth data in a single unit. The camera, which has an **IP67 rating**, is engineered for demanding industrial environments.
The **Helios2 Wide Chroma** features a broad **108° × 78° field of view**, allowing it to capture extensive scenes at close range. This capability makes it especially suitable for applications requiring ample spatial coverage without the need for mechanical repositioning. The camera’s design is compact, making it easy to integrate into various industrial setups.
Streamlined Integration for Users
Factory assembled and precision-calibrated, the **Helios2 Wide Chroma** eliminates the complex field calibration processes typically associated with RGB and 3D imaging systems. This advancement significantly reduces setup time and integration effort, allowing users to deploy reliable 3D vision systems with greater confidence.
“The **Helios2 Wide Chroma** was developed to remove the complexity traditionally associated with combining RGB and 3D imaging,” said **Rod Barman**, Founder and President of LUCID Vision Labs. This innovation aims to enhance the operational efficiency of industries such as robotics, bin picking, material handling, logistics, and factory automation.
The camera seamlessly integrates with **LUCID’s ArenaView® MP software** and the **Arena SDK**. This integration facilitates automatic camera pairing and intuitive operation, enabling users to view and store aligned color images and 3D point cloud data without additional configuration. The Arena SDK also includes code samples specifically for the **Helios2 Wide Chroma**, streamlining development cycles while ensuring consistent imaging performance.
Availability and Future Prospects
The **Helios2 Wide Chroma** expands LUCID’s portfolio of 3D vision solutions, providing a robust, compact option for industrial and robotic environments. The camera is now available for order, and interested parties can find more information on LUCID’s official website.
Founded in **January 2017**, LUCID Vision Labs is headquartered in **Burnaby, BC, Canada**, with additional offices in Germany, Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan. The company focuses on delivering innovative machine vision cameras and components that leverage advanced technologies, contributing to various industries including factory automation, medical, life sciences, and logistics.
