The CX.XC series from Baumer represents a significant advancement in industrial imaging technology, featuring integrated cooling pipes that enable high-precision image capture even in warm environments or for µm-scale measurement tasks. These cameras are designed to operate effectively under demanding conditions, such as inspections near furnaces during glass production.

Key Features of the CX.XC Cameras

The CX.XC models incorporate a unique cooling system using compressed air (2–3 bar) or liquids (up to 6 bar), ensuring efficient heat dissipation directly at the sensor and lens areas. This design eliminates thermal effects on image quality, making them ideal for precision tasks like inspecting silicon wafers down to the µm range.

One standout benefit is the elimination of additional cooling components during system integration—saving both time and costs. The 5-megapixel models with Sony Pregius sensors will enter serial production in Q4 2021, expanding this capability across the CX series portfolio.

Broader Applications

The Baumer CX camera lineup extends beyond these specialized models, offering over 130 variants equipped with modern sensor technologies such as Sony Pregius, Pregius S, STARVIS, and Polarsens sensors from ON Semiconductor (e.g., PYTHON CMOS).

These cameras support diverse interfaces including standard-compliant GigE Vision or USB3 Vision, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for synchronized network operations, polarization sensors for complete surface analysis capabilities, along with various shutter types.

Performance Highlights

The CX series delivers exceptional image quality combined with high frame rates—exceeding 1000 fps when using an ROI (Region of Interest). Adaptive auto features handle exposure adjustments, gain control, white balance settings, and color transformations to maintain optimal performance under changing lighting conditions.
