About

About Helios2

Helios2 is an industrial time-of-flight 3D camera built around the Sony DepthSense IMX556PLR sensor. Model HLT003S-001 produces 640 by 480 depth images at 30 frames per second across a stated 0.3-to-8.3-metre working range, with a 67 by 51 degree field of view and an IP67 enclosure for factory use.

The camera connects through GigE Vision and can receive power over Ethernet. Six operating-distance modes, hardware or software triggering, IEEE 1588 timing and five interference-avoidance channels support multi-camera installations. LUCID exposes depth, intensity and confidence data through its Arena SDK and positions the model for robot guidance, pick and place, sorting, pallet handling, volume measurement and 3D inspection.
