No structured lights. No lasers. Powered by AI, only Apera VuePorts deliver stereo 4D Vision that works reliably in all lighting conditions—bright, dim, outside, or variable—without requiring any special other equipment.
VuePorts feature a pair of 12MP+ stereo cameras to deliver high quality captures and detailed point clouds, providing the quality you need to make accurate picks. Compact and cost-effective (with no bulky laser projectors), VuePorts scale easily to multi-camera projects.
Apera VuePorts are rugged and designed to go anywhere you need them—fixed above a robotic cell for applications like bin, table, or conveyer picking, or mounted on end-of-arm tooling for applications like de-racking.
Designed for controlled environments, traditional 3D vision systems rely on structured light or laser-based depth sensing. They often fail in real-world factory settings—particularly with shiny, black, transparent, or overlapping parts—due to their sensitivity to ambient light, occlusions, and motion blur.
Powered by 4D Vision, only Apera VuePorts deliver human-caliber vision for modern manufacturing. An AI neural network trains synthetic parts through a million cycles to achieve >99.9% reliability in recognizing complex, shiny, clear objects and completing tasks. Your robots achieve up to 10X faster vision, with cycles as low as 0.3 seconds.
Factory assembled in North America and pre-calibrated, Apera VuePorts streamline the assembly of your vision system. Convenient mounting holes enable simple, fast, and sturdy mounting.
VuePorts are housed in rugged, aircraft-grade aluminum casing. IP65/7 dust-tight and water-resistant, VuePorts are designed for any real-world plant environment.
To protect uptime, VuePorts are easily replaced within 15 minutes if a camera is inadvertently knocked or damaged.
Apera 4D Vision systems centralize computing into their vision controllers (rather than the cameras), making VuePorts affordable and easily swappable, with a simple calibration.
The extra-small Apera VuePort is the only VuePort designed specifically for EOAT Mount (Eye-in-Hand) vision configurations. Used in applications like de-racking, the VuePort XS is mounted directly on the robot’s end-of-arm tooling.
