IDS Imaging UI-3590CP-C-HQ Camera

The IDS Imaging UI-3590CP-C-HQ is an 18 MP industrial CMOS camera designed for high-resolution machine vision applications requiring detailed image capture and rapid data transfer. Built around an Onsemi AR1820HSSC00SHEA0 sensor with 4912 × 3684 pixel resolution and 1.25 µm pixel pitch, this camera delivers 21 fps in both freerun and triggered modes. USB 3.0 micro-B connectivity provides direct integration into test systems and machine vision platforms with minimal power overhead.
