The XC-E Series are compact, light-weight one-piece black and white
cameras incorporating the latest
1
/2 and
1
/3 type Interline (IT) CCD
which produces new levels of picture detail. With dimensions of
29 x 29 x 32 mm (1

/16 x 1

/16 x 1

/16 inches)*, these cameras can
easily be installed in places where installation was previously difficult
for larger cameras.
The XC-E Series is a family of cameras with different spectral
sensitivities and shapes to suit a variety of application environments.
The XC-ES Series (XC-ES50/ES50CE, XC-ES50L/EX50LCE, XC-
ES51/ES51CE and XC-ES30/ES30CE) are standard models to be used
under visible light conditions that range in sensitivity from 0.2 lx to 3.0
lx. The XC-ES50L/50LCE features a unique L shape compact body that
makes it easy to install in short spaces — only 53mm from the
c-mount to the top of the camera. The XC-EI Series (XC-EI50/EI50CE
and XC-EI30/EI30CE) offer excellent near-infrared sensitivity. Under low
light conditions or when used with IR LED illumination systems, these
cameras provide clear images. The XC-EU Series (XC-EU50/EU50CE)
offer near-ultraviolet sensitivity in the i-line, or 365 nm, range. The short
wavelength allows the XC-EU Series to capture very fine details.
All models have identical dimensions and controls, making them easy
to interchange. A variety of settings are available for differing subject
and lighting conditions. All camera control switches are accessible
from the outside of the camera. Excellent vibration and shock
characteristics make these cameras ideal for demanding machine
vision applications.
*The XC-ES50L/ES50LCE, which are L-type versions of the XC-ES50/ES50CE, measure
29 (W) x 42.5 (H) x 43.8 (D) mm (1
