01 / Company
What this company supplies
What the company says it builds
The company page describes TransferTech as a supplier of 3D industrial cameras and 3D vision systems founded in Beijing in 2017, covering development, production and sales. Hardware is the Epic Eye camera range; the software side is a vision platform for deployment and custom development. Applications named include bin picking, depalletizing, positioning and assembly, welding, humanoid robots and outdoor charging or fueling. [S1]

02 / Products
A range with distinct purchasing tasks
DLP cameras for close, precise work
Pixel Mini, Pixel Welding and Pixel Pro use blue-light DLP structured light. Mini and Welding share an 85 mm baseline and a 300–700 mm working range; Pro has a 170 mm baseline and works from 600 to 1,500 mm. The Welding variant is sold as hardware with an SDK for third-party software such as Halcon and is aimed at weld seams on metal and reflective parts. [S2] [S3]
Laser-galvo cameras for large fields
Laser L V2S and Log L use a laser galvanometer with a 400 mm baseline for working distances of roughly 1.2 to 3.5 m. L V2S lists tolerance of ambient light up to 120,000 lux, which matters near skylights or loading doors. Log L is positioned for logistics depalletizing and sorting. [S3] [S4]
An all-scenario camera for outdoor work
Laser M V3 is presented as the camera for strong light, long distance and outdoor conditions, with a 500–1,500 mm working range and both depth and high-resolution colour output. It is the family to look at for applications the company names outdoors, such as vehicle charging or fueling. [S3]
Published in this directory
Start the technical discussion from the product families below, and ask for the data sheet of the exact model you want to compare.
Camera families by working distance [S3]
| Item | Published statement | Detail to keep with it |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel Mini / Pixel Welding | 85 mm baseline; 300–700 mm; 0.1 mm @ 0.5 m | Close work: seams, small parts, arm-mounted on cobots. |
| Pixel Pro | 170 mm baseline; 600–1,500 mm; 0.1 mm @ 1.1 m | Mid-range bins, transparent or reflective parts. |
| Laser L V2S | 400 mm baseline; 1,200–3,000 mm; 0.32 mm @ 2.4 m | Large bins and pallets under strong ambient light. |
| Log L | 400 mm baseline; 1,200–3,500 mm; 0.15 mm @ 2.4 m | Logistics depalletizing and sorting. |
| Laser M V3 | 110 mm baseline; 500–1,500 mm; 0.06 mm @ 1.5 m | Outdoor and strong-light tasks; colour output. |
These are camera figures measured to the stated test method. Picking or seam accuracy at the robot tool comes from a trial on your parts.
03 / Technical scope
Getting a 3D camera to guide a robot reliably
Start from the field of view, not the accuracy line
Each camera is specified at a working distance: Pixel Welding covers 295 × 175 mm at 0.3 m and 670 × 390 mm at 0.7 m, while Laser L V2S covers 1,120 × 1,030 mm at 1.2 m up to 2,800 × 2,625 mm at 3.0 m. First decide where the camera can be mounted and how large the bin, pallet or seam area is; the company offers an online field-of-view selector for this step. [S3] [S4]
Understand what the accuracy figure measures
Accuracy is stated to the VDI/VDE 2634 method, for example 0.1 mm at 0.5 m for Pixel Welding and 0.32 mm at 2.4 m for Laser L V2S, with separate single-point repeatability values. These describe the camera. The accuracy at the robot tool also depends on hand-eye calibration, robot accuracy, part surface and the matching algorithm, so test it on your parts. [S2] [S4]
Choose fixed or arm-mounted, and plan the cable
Both mounting options are listed. An arm-mounted camera adds mass and a moving cable; Pixel Welding weighs 1.01 kg and Laser L V2S 3.77 kg, which must be counted against the robot payload together with the gripper. Communication is Gigabit Ethernet with 24 V supply, and the accessory list shows straight and angled M12 power cables in different lengths. [S2] [S4]
04 / Quality
Certifications and quality
Environmental ratings are per camera
Pixel Welding and Laser L V2S both list IP65, passive cooling and 0–50 °C operation at 20–90% non-condensing humidity. Welding cells add spatter, fume and heat; ask how the lens window is protected and cleaned, and whether a protective cover changes the stated accuracy. [S2] [S4]
Compliance marks to request
TransferTech lists national high-tech enterprise status, ISO 9001:2015 and CE, FCC, UL, KC and VCCI marks. Ask for the certificate or declaration that names your camera model and power supply, especially UL for North America. [S1]
Software and hardware lifecycle
The support area publishes software update notices and hardware end-of-life notices. Ask which camera versions are current, how long a model will be supplied and how calibration is kept when a camera is replaced. [S3]
Before ordering, ask the company to send the certificates and test reports that apply to your configuration. How these profiles are compiled.
05 / Project fit
Where to start the technical discussion
Typical projects matched to the supply scope above, with the first questions to settle for each.
Weld seam finding before robotic welding
Pixel Welding targets butt and fillet seams on metal parts. Test with real parts that include tack welds, mill scale and the worst gap you accept, and check whether seam finding happens before or during the weld. [S2]
Turn the supply scope into a project handover
The documents and checks to agree with this company at each stage of delivery.

Project files, licences, backup and the procedure for replacing a camera.
06 / Next step
A clearer brief starts with these details
- Part or carton samples, including the most reflective, dark and transparent ones.
- Bin, pallet or seam area size and the possible camera mounting positions and heights.
- Robot model, payload margin for an arm-mounted camera and the controller interface.
- Required pick or seam accuracy at the tool and the target cycle time.
- Ambient light, dust, spatter and temperature at the cell.
- Ask TransferTech to confirm in writing: the camera model and software version, the certificates for your market, and how long the model will be supplied.

Common buyer questions
Does TransferTech make robots?
Its site presents cameras and vision software. The robot arm, gripper and cell are supplied by the integrator or another manufacturer.
Is 0.1 mm the accuracy my robot will achieve?
No. It is the camera’s measurement accuracy at a stated distance. Accuracy at the tool includes calibration and robot errors.
Can I use my own vision software?
The Pixel Welding page says an SDK supports third-party software such as Halcon. Confirm the SDK version and licence terms.
