The ECO series:
Extremely economical

An ECO is a compact, robust and powerful Machine Vision GigE camera. It impresses with a particularly economical price-performance ratio and important industrial features.

Black and blue camera with rectangular sensor and black lens mount.

Small design,
large in economy

Solid quality at an excellent price-performance ratio: this is probably the best way to describe the ECO series. All well-known Sony CCD sensors are used in the ECO series. Despite their small design with C/CS mount, the cameras deliver high frame rates with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio thanks to state-of-the-art technologies such as CDS (Correlated Double Sampling) and burst mode. The 4IO interface supports safe triggering and programmable IO logic.

The ECO series in detail:

  • Progressive Scan CCD sensors
  • Burst Mode Support
  • Monochrome and color versions (Bayer Pattern)
  • Various trigger and exposure modes
  • Manual Gain, Auto Gain, Auto Exposure
  • Various binning modes
  • 14 bit ADC with 8 or 12 bit transmission
  • Industrial I/O interface (0 – 24 V inputs, current driver)
  • Direct control and activation of LED lighting
  • RS-232 interface controllable via Ethernet
  • Logic trigger functions
  • Tap balancing (ECO² models)
  • Supply voltage: 10 – 25 V
  • White Balance / Auto White Balance (Color only)
  • GigE Vision and GenICam compatible
  • Sequencer for exposure time and LED brightness (PWM)
  • Region of Interest (ROI/AOI)
  • SDK available for Windows, Linux and macOS
  • Ambient temperature: -10 C° to +45°C

Variants for a wide range of applications

Black-blue camera with labeling: 12 MP CCD sensor, C-mount and dimensions 38x38x39.8 mm.

The ECO is available in standard, 4IO and IP67 versions. With its wide voltage range for supply voltage and signal voltage, it is suitable for both plant construction and industrial inspection on the production line. The option of using the LED flash with the integrated 4IO controller saves costs and thus supports efficient system design.
