xiQ USB3 Vision Ultra-Compact Camera

A superb and fast workhorse – Tiny in size, low in mass, extremely low power consumption. Resolutions up to 4 Mpix. Perfect basis for customer-specific projects.

The XIMEA xiQ camera line delivers ultra-high-speed imaging in one of the most compact machine vision cameras available, measuring just 26.4 × 26.4 × 26 mm and weighing only 27 grams. With frame rates up to 500 FPS at VGA and 1000 FPS at 640 × 400, low power consumption down to 1 watt, and a USB3 Vision–compliant 5 Gbit/s interface, xiQ cameras are ideal for demanding applications such as automation, robotics, motion analysis, and embedded vision. Broad OS support, intuitive software interfaces, and customizable board-level options make integration straightforward, while long-term production ensures a reliable, cost-effective solution.

Why XIMEA xiQ?

The xiQ camera series is highly versatile with a selection of popular and established CMOS sensors. The ultra-compact form factor, barely larger than the C-mount, combined with micro-B, and flex ribbon connectors make these cameras the perfect fit for various applications, especially for automation and embedded vision systems. Board-level variants enable custom integrations into devices and systems, while taped-glass sensor options minimize interference effects in photonics applications.
