Zivid 3 XL250 in the Zivid Product Family
The Zivid 3 XL250 extends Zivid's proven 3D vision technology to long-range applications, complementing the Zivid 2+ R series for closer working distances. Together, they provide a comprehensive solution for warehouse automation—from order picking (Zivid 2+ MR60/MR130) to piece picking (Zivid 2+ LR110) to full pallet depalletizing (Zivid 3 XL250). All models share the same SDK, similar operating principles, and consistent Zivid quality standards, simplifying development and deployment across multiple application types.
Real-world performance validated across diverse applications
Depalletizing Performance in the Warehouse
Demonstrates reliable handling of mixed-SKU pallets typical in food and beverage distribution—from matte cardboard to transparent shrink wrap and reflective tape.
Diverse items including boxes, cans, plastic-wrapped transparent bottles, shiny totes, glossy packaging, and reflective box tape.
Scenario: Mixed warehouse items at 2.7 m distance with 700 lux ambient light using 3-frame HDR capture.
Performance: Captures complete scene in <600 ms with consistent quality from top to bottom of pallet. Handles transparent materials, reflective surfaces, and tight gaps between boxes reliably.
Manufacturing & Factory Automation: Industrial Bin Picking Validation
Proves capability on challenging industrial materials that combine dark absorption with high reflectivity. Miscellaneous hard plastic and metallic items including dark rubber tubes, dark and reflective side mirrors, electrical circuit boxes, car parts, thin shiny metallic parts, and shiny cylinders.
Scenario: Industrial parts at 2.7 m distance with 700 lux ambient light using 2-frame HDR capture.
Performance: Delivers clean point clouds on challenging metallic and dark surfaces. Clear edge detection and precise geometry capture for reliable robotic gripping.
Purpose-built to solve the toughest challenges in warehouse automation and large-scale bin picking
Engineered for Deployment Success
The Zivid 3 XL250 addresses the complete challenge of warehouse automation: comprehensive pallet coverage from a single mounting position, reliable performance despite temperature swings and ambient light, clean point clouds on any material combination, integrated 2D+3D architecture that eliminates system complexity, and industrial-grade construction that enables predictable multi-site rollout. The result: lower risk, faster deployment, reduced total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What pallet sizes and formats does the Zivid 3 XL250 support?
The Zivid 3 XL250 handles all standard international pallet formats: Euro pallets (1200 × 800 mm), APAC XL pallets (1200 × 1000 mm), and US standard pallets (1219 × 1016 mm). With a working distance of 1.5 to 4.0 metres and a focus distance of 2.5 metres, it provides complete coverage of pallets up to 2.3 metres tall. The 39° × 39° square field-of-view delivers 1750 × 1750 mm coverage at focus distance, ensuring comprehensive visibility of the entire pallet surface. This eliminates the need for multiple camera installations or camera repositioning between different pallet types.
How does the blue laser illumination improve performance?
The blue laser provides significantly higher illumination power while consuming only 100W, enabling effective imaging at extended working distances. Its narrowband spectral characteristics offer superior immunity to ambient light, maintaining image quality even in bright conditions while remaining fully operational. This is particularly valuable in warehouse environments with loading bay doors that create exposure to strong sunlight. The system is certified eye-safe (IEC 60825-1 Class 1, IEC 62471-5 conforming, Risk Group 2 LIP).
What capture speeds can be achieved?
For single-SKU pallets with uniform materials, the camera achieves capture times under 350 milliseconds using standard settings. For mixed-SKU pallets with diverse materials, capture times under 600 milliseconds using quality settings provide the higher dynamic range needed. Minimum acquisition time is 25 milliseconds, with typical total capture times ranging from 250 to 1500 milliseconds depending on material complexity and quality requirements. These speeds ensure vision processing doesn't create bottlenecks in robotic cycle time.
How does it maintain accuracy with temperature fluctuations?
The Zivid 3 XL250 operates across a calibrated temperature range of 0 to 45°C and maintains accuracy during rapid temperature swings of ±10°C within 3-5 minutes when loading bay doors open. Advanced calibration technology compensates for thermal expansion of optical and mechanical components, preventing dimensional drift. A thermal stabilisation feature actively manages component temperature whilst idle, maintaining optimal operating conditions. Typical warm-up time is 10 minutes after power-on to reach fully stabilised performance.
Can it handle transparent and reflective materials?
Yes, the Zivid 3 XL250 reliably captures any combination of diffuse, specular, absorptive, reflective, semi-transparent, and transparent materials in a single acquisition. Patented Omni Engine technology with HDR capture handles extreme contrast between dark and bright materials simultaneously. Proprietary artefact removal technology eliminates spurious geometry from reflective and transparent objects. The 8 MP colour imaging with 1:1 pixel mapping between 2D and 3D data enables accurate material segmentation without pre-qualification or system adjustments.
How does integrated 2D+3D imaging benefit users?
The 8 megapixel colour sensor captures both 2D images and 3D point clouds with perfect 1:1 pixel registration, eliminating complex extrinsic calibration, coordinate transformations, and synchronisation challenges. This eliminates separate 2D camera hardware, mounting brackets, cabling, lighting systems, and additional acquisition interfaces, directly reducing system cost and complexity. The unified data stream simplifies software development with synchronised, co-registered data in a single capture operation.
What software and integration options are available?
The Zivid SDK supports Windows, Ubuntu Linux, and NVIDIA Jetson Linux with APIs for C++, .NET, Python, and ROS. On-board GPU processing with Intel or NVIDIA GPU support offloads reconstruction algorithms from the host CPU. Output formats include .zdf, .ply, .pcd, .xyz for point clouds and .png, .jpeg, .bmp for 2D images. Adjustable output resolutions (8 MP, 2 MP, 0.5 MP) balance data density against processing speed. Advanced features include HDR capture control, thermal stabilisation management, flicker handling, and hand-eye calibration APIs.
