✨ Baumer Introduced New 5 GigE Cameras at Vision 2026!​

Baumer introduced its compact 5 GigE industrial cameras, designed for industrial automation, at the Vision 2026 fair held in Stuttgart between September 29 and October 1, 2026. These new models bring a fresh perspective to machine vision applications by offering high performance even in confined spaces.

📸 VCX Series: Compactness and High Resolution Combined​

Baumer's VCX standard camera series includes new 5 GigE models specifically developed for demanding production environments. Thanks to their multi-layer housing design and patented thermal structure, these cameras provide high thermal stability. Offering resolutions up to 24 megapixels and speeds up to 237 frames per second, these devices enable easy integration even in limited spaces by transmitting image data over standard network interfaces.

🔍 Integration and Optical Interfaces: Ease with Canon RF Mount​

In the high-performance camera segment, Baumer showcased its systems with integrated Canon RF mount. This interface directly provides aperture and focus control, as well as lens power supply, without external cabling. The VLXT camera series supports resolutions up to 65 megapixels at 18 frames per second, making it ideal for dynamic inspection processes. This direct integration reduces system load while simplifying integration into existing applications.

⚡ Data Transfer and System Architecture: GigE Vision 3.0 and RDMA​

The cameras' network infrastructure supports GigE Vision 3.0 and RDMA for direct memory management. This allows for the creation of scalable multi-camera systems with transfer speeds of several hundred Gbit/s. Integrated software features such as GPUDirect and high-speed recording reduce the load on the central processing unit, minimize latency, and support AI-powered inspection processes in real-time. This reduces reliance on traditional frame grabber systems.

💡 Why Do Baumer's New Cameras Make a Difference?​

• Hardware Reduction: 5 GigE and 10 GigE interfaces reduce hardware costs and complexity by using standard Ethernet components.
  
• Simple Installation: Compared to traditional CameraLink or CoaXPress systems, Baumer's VLXT and VCX models offer similar data bandwidth with much simpler cabling and a smaller footprint.
  
• Ease of Mechanical Integration: The integration of standard lens mounts like the RF mount significantly reduces the effort of mechanical integration in existing industrial image processing systems.
