New FXO CXP cameras combine Sony Pregius S Sensors and High Throughput in Compact, Passively Cooled Housing

Allied Vision is launching a new FXO camera serieswith 4-Channel CoaXPress-12 interface, featuring the 24.6 Megapixel fxo935xCX12-4C and the 12.4 Megapixel fxo936xCX12-4C. Available immediately through Allied Vision’s global distribution network, these cameras are among the first to integrate the latest Sony Pregius S™ BSI global shutter sensors IMX935 and IMX936 and deliver data rates of up to 50 Gbit/s via four CoaXPress-12 connections.

Designed for demanding, space-constrained vision systems, the new FXO CXP cameras provide high-resolution, high-frame-rate imaging with fanless, vibration-free passive cooling enabling reliable operation from -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F) in electronics manufacturing, semiconductor, automotive, metrology, medical, and pharmaceutical applications.

Performance, Efficiency, and Footprint: Key Advantages at a Glance

The FXO CXP-12 (4 connections) series delivers highest imaging performance in an ultra-compact housing with a 50 × 50 mm footprint, minimizing system size without compromising throughput or image quality. As the world’s smallest camera with 4-channel CXP-12, it integrates easily into tight machine spaces and compact inspection heads while supporting full 4-channel CXP-12 data streams.

With power consumption of only 9W, the platform is highly efficient and enables a completely fanless, passively cooled design, therefore eliminating vibration, reducing maintenance, and ensuring stable operation, particularly in cleanroom environments. Power-over-CXP reduces system complexity by eliminating external power supplies and cutting cabling effort. Attractive pricing in combination with Allied Vision’s frame grabbers provides additional value and simplifies complete system design.

Designed for Electronics, Metrology, and Life-Science

The FXO cameras are engineered for applications where fine details, high tact rates, and tight installation spaces come together. In electronics and semiconductor production, they are ideally suited for 2D/3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), semiconductor assembly verification, SMT pick-and-place alignment, and high-resolution PCB inspection. They also enable fast and precise 3D laser triangulation and structured light imaging for detailed surface and shape analysis. In automotive and industrial metrology, the cameras support 2D/3D material inspection, as well as high-precision measurement of strain, deformation, and displacement, and are excellent for particle image velocimetry.

In addition, the compact, fanless, and power-efficient design also makes FXO cameras an outstanding choice for medical and pharmaceutical imaging systems, where reliability, cleanliness, and low vibration are essential.

Model Overview and Technical Highlights

The FXO CXP (4 Connections) series debuts with two models:

fxo935CX12-4C / fxo935MX12-4C:

• Resolution: 24.6 MP (5,328 × 4,608)
• Sensor: Sony IMX935, BSI global shutter (Type 1.2, 19.3 mm diagonal)
• Frame rate: up to 192 fps @ 8-bit

fxo936CX12-4C / fxo936MX12-4C:

• Resolution: 12.4 MP (4,128 × 3,008)
• Sensor: Sony IMX936, BSI global shutter (Type 1/1.1, 14 mm diagonal)
• Frame rate: up to 339 fps @ 8-bit

Both models share the same ultra-slim mechanical platform with dimensions of 50 × 50 × 19 mm (Flat Front) or 50 × 50 × 34 mm (C-Mount), and feature:

• Interface: CoaXPress 2.0 (CXP-12), 4 connections (up to 50 Gbit/s)
• Power: Power-over-CXP with 9W power consumption
• Cooling: Passive, fanless cooling for vibration-free operation
• Image formats: Monochrome and color variants
• Lens mounts: Modular concept with Flat Front and C-Mount options
• Operating temperature: -10°C to +60°C with full 4-channel CXP-12 performance

With a combination of ultra-compact 50 × 50 mm footprint, advanced Sony Pregius S™ imaging performance, high efficiency, and flexible modular mounts, Allied Vision’s fxo935CX12-4C and fxo936CX12-4C set a new standard for compact, high-end machine vision cameras.
