Sony Image Sensors: The Revolution in Industrial Automation with Precision and AI

Sony has been recognised for its excellence in image sensors for decades. choosing their image sensors means betting on proven innovation. That’s why their applications in industrial automation ensure exceptional results, offering high resolution with fast and reliable readings.

Additionally, they are compact and easy to integrate with existing systems. Thus, by investing in Sony’s image sensors, you reduce adaptation time and almost immediately increase productivity.

Moreover, these image sensors are recognized for their versatility, as they adapt to many applications, from visual inspections to smart robotic systems. Therefore, using Sony’s image sensors for industrial automation strongly benefits your company in terms of quality control and performance.

Sony’s image sensors are designed to meet the demands of the modern industry.
They use advanced technologies that eliminate distortion in images of fast-moving objects, ensuring precision even in high-speed environments. Logically, this feature is essential for the reliability of inspections and measurements on automated production lines.

Additionally, Sony’s image sensors are used in machine vision systems, which are also applied in industrial automation. This integration enables the development of customized solutions for inspection, control, and identification, increasing efficiency and reducing human errors in production processes.

Sony’s image sensors shine in applications that require high precision. For example, in the metal industry, the IMX487 model detects scratches on plates using ultraviolet light.

This high-definition IMX487 image sensor provides high sensitivity and low noise, improving inspection accuracy. Therefore, almost invisible defects are eliminated right on the production line.

Similarly, sensors like the IMX264 are ideal for high-resolution inspections. With 5MP and low noise, they are widely used in computer vision systems. In this sense, they ensure that no error escapes quality control.

Another example is the IMX636, which is based on event-based vision (EVS) that detects fast movements. Among event-based vision sensors, the IMX636 has the smallest pixel size in the industry, at 4.86 μm.
Unlike a conventional frame-based image sensor, it captures only differential data. This means that the trajectory of a moving element is captured with very high temporal resolution.

Therefore, the IMX636 is perfect for detecting fast-moving objects, equipment monitoring, motion detection analysis, and accurate image recognition. Furthermore, its energy consumption is extremely low. 

Sony offers a wide range of image sensors, each with specific features to meet the diverse needs of the industry. Here are some components for you to explore.
