Smart Camera Applications in Industry

All-in-one vision system in a compact housing, easy to integrate on robot arms.

Advanced Pattern Matching (Pattern Find) ensures robust object localization, even in demanding environments.

Integrated lighting, 5 MP sensor resolution, and C-mount lens options make it ideal for robot guidance applications requiring a large field of view or extended working distance.

P2/3x Smart Camera for color analysis and assembly verification

P2x and P3x smart cameras combine high-resolution sensors with full-color inspection to ensure reliable quality control across a wide range of assembly tasks.

From wire color verification to connector alignment and component presence checks, these all-in-one solutions deliver the speed, precision, and repeatability required in modern production environments.

P2/3x Smart Camera — High Speed Inspection

P-Series Smart Camera Models

Same Flexibility, Different Performance: Both P2x and P3x Smart Cameras share the same advanced optical design that defines the P-Series — offering exceptional image quality and flexible configuration. Whether you choose a compact micro-video lens or opt for the highest optical precision with a C-Mount setup, you can count on full compatibility with a wide range of illuminators, filters, and protective covers. This ensures you get optimal image brightness and clarity for your application, regardless of which model you select

While both models offer the same mechanical design and accessory compatibility, they differ in performance: the P3x delivers higher resolution and faster processing speed, making it ideal for more demanding machine vision tasks.

The P3x Series features the latest chipset to deliver maximum inspection speed.

The P3x’s 5 MP resolution provides sharper, more detailed images, enabling reliable detection of small features and defects.

P-Series Smart Camera Features

P3x Smart Camera during inspection — closeup

P-Series Smart Cameras feature a configurable 360° multi-color LED ring on both illuminator types. Using IMPACT software, you can set custom colors to indicate inspection results — providing clear, intuitive feedback to nearby operators, even without an HMI. The bright ring remains visible from all angles and distances, making it easy to monitor system status at a glance.

The P-Series is the world’s first smart camera with an embedded accelerometer that continuously monitors its spatial orientation. Once installed, you can store the correct position in memory — the camera will automatically detect any shift or misalignment and issue an immediate alert. This feature simplifies maintenance and ensures inspection results remain reliable, even in the presence of vibration or accidental movement.

In addition to CPM and SDK, P-Series Smart Cameras now include the Smart Camera Monitor (SCM) — a built-in, web-based HMI. Simply connect via any browser-enabled device (industrial panel, tablet, or smartphone) to view inspection results, statistics, image diagnostics, and more.
SCM supports multiple languages, user access levels, and password protection — no software installation required.

Integrated IMPACT Tools

The Impact software suite addresses many types of quality inspection applications in diverse industries and includes over 100 vision tools for inspection, measurement, and identification, additionally offering:

Enabling seamless integration with 3rd party track & trace software solutions.

Integrated PROFINET and Ethernet/IP fieldbuses for easy integration.

Communication Protocols Logos

For more demanding applications, Impact also runs on the more powerful MX-E Series Vision Processors — delivering top-tier performance for complex inspection systems.
