November 19, 2024 A,tsugi, Japan-Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS), a Japanese company, has launched IMX925, a new CMOS image sensor that has stacking capabilities and is intended for industrial applications.
With this unique technology for a global shutter sensor, Pregius S™, the sensor provides 394 frames per second processing and a resolution of 24.55 effective megapixels, making it possible to obtain appropriate non-deformed images for AI-based machine vision and machine inspection systems.
The IMX925 has undergone some changes which include a back-illuminated pixel structure and a smaller high-performance package suitable for C-mount cameras.
Its new architecture increases the processing speed to four times and cuts down power consumption by half which was the case in older designs.
“This new sensor lineup addresses the increasing demand concerning the speed and accuracy of recognition in factory automation. There are too many products available,”
Commented Hiroshi Sato, Chief Engineer of SSS.
Furthermore, SSS will introduce more devices expanding its range with different sensor sizes and frame rates. These improvements are intended to enhance the efficiency of AI recognition and 3D inspection operations reduce the measurement time and boost productivity.
“The advanced SLVS-EC™ interfaces enable us to move toward the ultra high-speed high precision cameras of the future.”
Also remarked Akiko Tanaka, Product Manager of SSS.
There is an expected growth in the US need for AI technologies in industrial processes hence the models are expected to be ready for sample shipment by May 2025.
