Teledyne FLIR IIS announces a new modular and compact USB3 machine vision camera series

Teledyne FLIR IIS (formerly Point Grey Research) is pleased to introduce the new Dragonfly® S USB3 camera series to its machine vision portfolio. It addresses the market’s essential need for a modular, compact, and lightweight camera for at-scale manufacturing, volume-based applications, and multi-camera systems. Dragonfly® S has a modular design to accelerate the inception stage of imaging application development for a diverse range of industrial and non-industrial segments.

The camera series is ideal for embedded or handheld device applications such as biometrics kiosk solutions, ophthalmoscopy, 3D scanning, automated optical inspection, and more. It is available in multiple configurations, from board-level to a fully-enclosed module in a ruggedized aluminum case. The USB connector is offered in a rear or side orientation with screw-in locking mechanism. These modular options provide maximum flexibility and durability, allowing seamless integration in tight spaces. The cased models are Class B EMC safety compliant as mitigating electromagnetic interference is critical for healthcare and residential applications. Additionally, an onboard image buffer ensures that every captured image frame is reliably transferred to the host CPU (more info).
