Zivid 3 XL250 Review: Specs and Uses of the Long-Range 3D Camera for Depalletizing
Updated: 7 days ago
The Zivid 3 XL250 is a long-range 2D+3D camera for large robots, with 8 MP resolution and a working distance of up to 4.5 m. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, design and uses.
Quick Verdict
Earlier Zivid cameras were made for bin picking at one to two metres. The Zivid 3 XL250 takes the same approach, colour and 3D from one sensor with high trueness, to pallet scale: it sees a pallet of 1.2 by 1.2 m stacked 2.3 m high and captures it in under half a second. It uses a laser light source with thermal stabilization and is eye-safe without protective equipment. Protection is IP65, with ratings for shock and vibration that suit mounting on a robot.
