Key facts

Sensing technology

The O3D family uses PMD time-of-flight sensing for distance, object position and volume data in industrial automation.

Sensor chip (company-stated)

A 93,000-element time-of-flight chip measures the whole scene in one capture, giving a distance image and a grey-scale image.

Design (company-stated)

No moving parts, so it is wear-free compared with laser scanners; industrial housing with SDK samples.

Applications (company-stated)

Completeness monitoring, dimensioning, level measurement, robot gripper navigation, mixed-pallet picking and container loading.

AGV and forklift uses (company-stated)

Collision avoidance, fork positioning, fork height monitoring and pallet fork-pocket detection.

Software support (company-stated)

Connects to MATLAB, HALCON, PCL (Point Cloud Library) and ROS.

Common questions

What is ifm 3D Sensor?
ifm electronic 3D vision sensor for robot perception.
How much does ifm 3D Sensor cost?
ifm 3D Sensor's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for ifm 3D Sensor from ifm electronic. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
Is ifm 3D Sensor actually deployed in the real world?
ifm 3D Sensor is recorded at the commercial stage, but DEPLOY has no deployment verified at a named site yet; vendor deployment claims are not independently confirmed here. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
Who makes ifm 3D Sensor?
ifm 3D Sensor is made by ifm electronic, based in Essen, Germany, founded in 1969.
Can you buy ifm 3D Sensor?
ifm 3D Sensor is in commercial deployment and is sold to operators; contact the manufacturer to buy, and see the pricing section for any recorded price.
What are alternatives to ifm 3D Sensor?
On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to ifm 3D Sensor include Archer Midnight, Joby S4, ASML EUV TwinScan, 10Beauty Manicure System.
How does ifm 3D Sensor compare to Archer Midnight?
ifm 3D Sensor and Archer Midnight (Archer Aviation · 9 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. ifm 3D Sensor has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
Is ifm 3D Sensor a top other?
On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, ifm 3D Sensor ranks in roughly the top 42% of other models tracked by the registry.
What is ifm 3D Sensor's maturity stage?
