An introduction to LIPS 3D cameras

An introduction to LIPS 3D cameras

Our range of 3D cameras is growing! We have just been awarded distribution of LIPS 3D cameras by LIPS Corporation, a global leader in 3D vision and AI solutions.
As experts in industrial automation, we’re really excited to be strengthening our portfolio with this range of true industrialised 3D structured cameras.

Why LIPS Corporation?

LIPS Corporation is a key player in the 3D vision and AI space and their LIPSedge line of ruggedised cameras for industrial applications is paving the way for the future of 3D AI solutions.

Their partnerships with Intel, NVIDIA and Panasonic are a testament to their strong reputation and commitment to innovation. We especially love what their CEO Luke Liu had to say in a recent interview:

“In LIPSLab, anything is possible. We do not set the boundary of our creativity and imagination.”

LIPS Corporation was founded in 2013 in Taipei, Taiwan and is quickly becoming a globally leading 3D AI solution provider. LIPS designs, builds and customises 3D depth cameras with mainstream 3D sensing technologies, including Time-of-Flight (ToF), stereo, and structure light.

But that’s not all. They also develop 3D AI middleware and applications such as 3D Scanning, 3D Measurement, 3D Skeletal Tracking, 3D Motion Gesture, 3D People Counting, 3D Facial Recognition, and more.

Product Highlights

LIPSedge™ L Series (L210u and L215u)

The LIPSedge™ L series is the most compact 3D structured light camera on the market. Both models offer high-definition resolution, exceptional precision (≤ 0.3% at 100 cm), and a 940nm wavelength VCSEL light source which makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The structured light technology projects light patterns to ascertain depth and surface characteristics of objects in its field of view. With a USB 2.0 connection interface, it relays the data from the near-Infrared sensor and RGB image sensor for depth information processing.

What is it good for?

The LIPSedge L Series (L210u and L215u) cameras are precise and accurate, making them ideal for short-range 3D sensing applications, including 3D scanning, 3D measurement, and facial recognition.

Their global shutter technology also means they’re great for capturing fast-moving objects as they successfully produce images without motion blur.  They also feature VCSEL Technology which uses narrow beams for high output and accuracy.

LIPSedge™ AE470 3D Stereo Camera Starter Kit

The LIPSedge AE470 camera from the LIPSedge AE series is remarkably lightweight, weighing just under 300 grams and measuring only 130 x 32 x 66 mm. It also features GigE/PoE compatibility, an edge-AI system on a chip, and is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance.

What is it good for?

The LIPSedge AE470 also uses global shutter technology, making it suitable for capturing fast-moving objects.  It’s also compact and ruggedised, so it’s compliant and industrial-ready. With a wild field of view of 87° x 58° x 95° and a long focus distance of 10+ metres, it’s perfect for long distance and enhanced range 3D depth mapping. It also comes with a built-in 6 axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a built-in heatsink.

AE470 is a high-quality 3D camera that is ideal for robotic hand-eye coordination, factory automation, and various other applications that require long-range capture and detection.

LIPSedge™ AE430 3D Stereo Camera Starter Kit

Coming in even lighter at just 288 grams, the LIPSedge AE430 is a lightweight, compact and rugged 3D stereo camera. Like the AE470, it supports GigE/PoE, includes a built-in industrial heatsink, and is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance.

The device addresses the challenges of weight capacity and space restrictions in robotic arms, offering quick and secure PoE connectivity through an M12 locked cable designed to endure the twists and turns of robotic movement.

What is it good for?

The LIPSedge AE430 provides enhanced depth images to remove unwanted noise while improving precision and accuracy. It also features IP67-compliant ruggedised casing for industrial application. The M12 locked cable provides secure PoE connectivity to withstand tough environments and twists and turns of the robotic arm. The 6H anti-scratch tempered glass provides ultimate protection for the camera lens.

This makes the LIPSedge AE430 the ideal 3D camera for robotic hand-eye coordination and factory automation applications.
