Zivid 2+ Review: Specs and Uses of the 5 MP 3D Colour Camera for Robots
Updated: 7 days ago
The Zivid 2+ is a family of 3D colour cameras for robot guidance, with 5 megapixel resolution, capture times from 100 ms and a 900 lumen projector. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, models, design and uses.
Quick Verdict
The Zivid 2+ produces a point cloud in which every point also has a colour, at 5 MP. That combination helps a robot recognize and grasp objects that are shiny, transparent or tightly packed, which are the hard cases in picking. Captures take 0.1 to 1 second depending on settings, the housing weighs 1 kg and is tested for shock and vibration, so the camera can ride on a robot arm. The family includes the M60, M130 and L110 models for different working distances. Price is available on request.

Design and Build Quality
The camera projects structured light with a 900 lumen projector and records the scene with a 5 MP sensor, delivering shape and colour from one device and one viewpoint. The housing of 169 × 124 × 56 mm weighs 1 kg and is tested for 15 G shock and 5 G vibration, which matters when the camera is mounted on the wrist of a robot and accelerated with it. The three models share the housing and differ in optics: the M60 for close work, the M130 for medium distances and the L110 for larger scenes.
Software and Integration
Interface
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet link carries the large 3D images quickly to the computer.
Calibration
Zivid provides hand-eye calibration, which aligns the camera with the robot so that a point seen by the camera can be reached by the gripper.
Zivid 2+ Uses
The camera is used for picking, assembly and inspection with robots.
Bin Picking
Dense colour point clouds let a robot find and grasp parts piled in a container.
Piece Picking in Logistics
The dynamic range helps with shiny packaging and transparent wrapping in order picking.
Inspection and Assembly
The same data supports checks of shape and position before assembly.
