Industrial image processing is an evolving field, and innovation continues to push boundaries. Among the latest advancements from sensor and industrial camera expert Baumer are the CX series of cameras equipped with integrated cooling pipes—an invention designed to provide tangible benefits for users in high-temperature environments.

Traditionally, ensuring thermal stability in such settings involved embedding camera housings within external cooling components. While effective, this approach was time-consuming and added considerable bulk to the systems. To address these limitations, Baumer introduced a groundbreaking solution: cameras with integrated cooling technology.

Patented Cooling Pipes for Instant Thermal Stability

The CX.XC model incorporates a patented cooling pipe that winds through the camera housing itself. This innovation allows heat generated near the sensor or lens to dissipate directly and efficiently, ensuring thermal stability without relying on external components. The result is a more compact design and immediate temperature regulation—eliminating extended stabilization periods previously required with traditional setups.

Expert Recognition and Industry Impact

The advantages of this technology have not gone unnoticed. Readers of the trade magazine “inspect” named these cameras among their top picks for recent innovations in industrial image processing. As a testament to its success, Baumer’s CX.XC series will be honored with the Silver inspect award at SPS in Nuremberg.

Essential Benefits

Product Manager Torsten Wehner highlights two primary benefits of this integrated cooling design:

  1. Thermal stability: The cameras reach and maintain consistent temperatures quickly—significantly faster than conventional systems.
  2. Reduced downtime: Shorter stabilization periods translate to less waiting time during data acquisition, boosting overall efficiency.

This is especially critical in precision applications like semiconductor manufacturing, where nanometer-level accuracy requires stable camera performance throughout the measurement cycle.

Versatile Applications

The CX.XC cameras are suitable for environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Beyond semiconductors, they find use cases in glass and metal processing, as well as industries exposed to high heat—such as large bakeries. These cameras deliver reliable image quality up to 65°C at the housing level.
