Pickit cameras
Pickit is compatible with a number of 3D cameras, each of which makes a different compromise between technical merits and price. All cameras use Ethernet as communication technology, and both standard and high-definition camera lineups cover fields of view spanning from small boxes all the way up to four Euro Pallets (EPAL). Below you can find a high-level overview of the different cameras, that can help in making an assessment of which camera works best for your application.
Tip
We can assist you in selecting which camera works best for your application. To learn more, contact sales@pickit3d.com.
You can download the data sheet of a camera by clicking its name in the tables below. CAD files of all cameras are available in the CAD resources page, and camera cable specifications are documented in this article.
Pickit standard-definition (SD2) camera
Standard-definition (data sheet) camera offers a great value-price combination. It is a highly versatile camera, its field of view allow operation in both bin picking (shorter distance) and depalletizing (longer distance) applications.
The camera uses an Ethernet cable, for more information on how to connect the components see this article.

Pickit high-definition (HD2) cameras
Note
HD2 cameras require the Pickit HD camera license module for software support.
High-definition (HD2) cameras are recommended for applications where the Pickit standard-definition camera does not provide sufficient accuracy.
Pickit offers a complete portfolio of HD cameras using structured light and laser triangulation technology.
Structured light technology
Our structured light camera lineup consists of three cameras:
The M-HD2-MR60 (data sheet) offers a narrow field of view, making it ideal for high-precision applications, whether mounted on a robot or fixed in place.
The L-HD2-LR110 (data sheet) features a wide field of view and close-focus capability, making it especially suitable for scanning large areas while mounted on a robot.
The L-HD2-MR130 (data sheet) provides the longest field of view, up to 2.7 meters, making it perfect for fixed applications over a large area, such as a Euro pallet.
Below is an overview of the fields of view of each structured light camera. You can explore them in more detail in the datasheet of each camera, or using our interactive camera selector.

Laser triangulation technology
Our laser triangulation camera lineup consists of four cameras, they cover an extensive range of field of views keeping an excellent accuracy:
The M-HD2-C600 (data sheet) and M-HD2-C610 (data sheet) share the same field of view but differ in camera form factor. The M-HD2-C600, with its larger baseline and higher accuracy, is best suited for fixed-mount applications. On the other side, the M-HD2-C610’s smaller and lighter design makes it well-suited for mounting on robots.
The L-HD2-C1200 (data sheet) is a large field of view camera that can fit more than two Euro-pallets.
The XL-HD2-C1600 (data sheet) offers the biggest field of view among the Pickit cameras, it can detect up to a distance of 5m and fit more than four Euro-pallets.
Below is an overview of the fields of view of each laser triangulation camera. You can explore them in more detail in the datasheet of each camera, or using our interactive camera selector.

First-generation Pickit cameras
First-generation Pickit cameras are no longer part of our standard offering.
First-generation SD cameras are still supported in Pickit 3.5, although no longer offered. They will no longer be supported in future versions of Pickit.
First-generation HD cameras are no longer supported from Pickit 3.5. However, Pickit 3.4 will continue to be maintained during the lifetime of Pickit 3.5 to support existing customers using these cameras.
