Accessories¶
Power connections¶
The 3D stereo camera contains an 8-pin A-coded M12 plug connector for power and GPIO connectivity to the robot controller. Various cabling solutions can be obtained from third party vendors, however, the M12 connector on the 3D stereo camera side must be angled. One possibility for an angled M12 to open ended cable is provided below. Customers are required to provide power and GPIO connections to the cables according to the pinouts described in Wiring. The 3D stereo camera’s housing must be connected to ground.
Balluff provides cables with different lengths.

Power supplies¶
The 3D stereo camera is classified as EN-55011 Class B device and is immune to light industrial and industrial environments. For connecting the camera to residential grid power, a power supply under EN 55011/55022 Class B has to be used.
You can obtain suitable DIN-Rail power supplies from Balluff, e.g. BAE0112.
Only one 3D stereo camera shall be connected to a power supply at any time, and the total length of cables must be less than 15 m.
Spare parts¶
Balluff can provide calibration grids, power cables and network cables as spare parts for 3D stereo camera upon request.
SGM®Producer ¶
The 3D stereo camera provides 12MP camera images and – in combination with the SGM®Producer – depth, confidence and error images. The integrated projector allows for dense depth images even in weakly textured scenes and the high resolution permits the detection of small parts with high accuracy. The SGM®Producer can be downloaded from https://www.balluff.com.
