Helios2 Narrow IP67 Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D Camera

Name: Helios2 Narrow IP67 Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D Camera
SKU: 175909
Availability: InStock

The Helios2 Narrow is an IP67-rated PoE 3D Time-of-Flight camera. It uses a narrower illumination to generate real-time 3D point cloud data with outstanding accuracy and precision. This results in tighter point clouds with reduced multipath errors, providing exceptional performance for targets within a narrow field-of-view (31° x 24° FoV)*. All Helios2 models provide IP67 protection and come factory calibrated and ready to use.

*The Helios2 Narrow 100 (HTN003S-100) is optimized for maximum precision and accuracy with the target placed at 75cm to 150cm distance from the front of the camera.

*The Helios2 Narrow 300 (HTN003S-300) is optimized for maximum precision and accuracy with the target placed at 150cm to infinity distance from the front of the camera.

*0.5 m distance precision measured with 250 µs exposure time, all other distances using 1000 µs exposure time measured with white paper target.

Test Conditions:

Target: White paper mounted on bar attached to motion stage
Helios2 positioning: mounted on tripod, laser distance meter used to measure distance from case front to stage zero position
Camera setting: Coord3D_C16 Pixel Format, bilateral filtering OFF, camera warmed up for 20 minutes.
Imaging environment: Room light on during testing, black material used to minimize reflections off floor
Motion stage moved in 50mm steps, for each step measure depth over 10×10 pixel ROI at image center, repeat 32 times at each position
Accuracy measured as difference between camera’s average measured depth across the ROI and 32 images and the ground truth depth (stage zero distance + stage position)
Accuracy limits represent the maximum error over the depth range of a typical unit under the specified test conditions.
