Pixel Mini Product Advantages at a Glance

1. Ultra-High Accuracy and Superior Imaging Performance

Tested to the VDI/VDE 2634 guideline, the Pixel Mini achieves a measurement accuracy of 0.1 mm at 0.5 m, delivering leading imaging precision among peer products with the same baseline. It generates accurate, complete and high-clarity point cloud data for diverse workpieces, suppporting challenging working conditions including disordered stacking, fine surface textures and slightly reflective surfaces.

The superior precision effectively improves overall production efficiency and reduces rework and line downtime caused by positioning deviations.

2. Ultra-Fast 0.2s Acquisition Speed for Instant Capture

The Pixel Mini supports image capture in as little as 0.2 seconds, outperforming comparable products on the market. Its rapid acquisition speed enables real-time capture of shifting production environments and target workpieces. The system receives immediate data to adjust motion programs, guaranteeing responsive and precise operation. This capability shortens line cycle time and boosts overall production throughput.

3. Cellphone-Sized Compact Design for Precision Scenarios

In eye-in-hand applications, end-effector load is a critical consideration for robotic arm configuration. Excessive end weight may compromise the robot’s moving speed and operational accuracy.

Accordingly, precise load control is essential to sustain stable robot performance. For industrial 3D cameras, lightweight construction poses significant technical challenges. Robust mechanical frames are required to prevent structural accuracy degradation, paired with refined thermal dissipation designs to curb thermal drift.

Leveraging optimized mechanical structures and hardware layouts, the Pixel Mini delivers a highly compact form factor when measured against other cameras with identical stereo baselines. It weighs just 0.8 kg and measures 130 × 59 × 73 mm, featuring a slim footprint that facilitates installation in confined machine spaces.

The ultra-light and ultra-compact design fully reserves robot end load margin and improves vision system installation flexibility. It enables reliable deployment in precision tasks, complex working conditions and confined space spaces.

4. 4.5W Ultra-Low Average Power Consumption Ensures Continuous Operation

In automated production lines and complex industrial scenarios, high power consumption of 3D vision cameras can shorten the battery life of hybrid robots, leading to frequent recharging and disrupting operational continuity and overall line efficiency.

The Epic Eye Pixel Mini features an average power consumption of only 4.5 W¹ and a standby power consumption of 2.4 W. The low-power design improves energy utilization for hybrid robots, optimizes overall energy efficiency, and reduces long-term operational costs. Its high-efficiency, low-power performance also demonstrates Transfer Technology’s commitment to sustainable development in industrial automation.

Note ¹: The maximum instantaneous power is 32 W. Average power consumption is tested under standard room temperature conditions, with an acquisition time of 700 ms and an exposure interval of 7.3 s.
