Sony XC-73 CCD Camera

The Sony XC-73 is a compact monochrome CCD vision camera module designed for machine-vision tasks, using a 1/3-inch IT Hyper HAD CCD sensor and positioned as a smaller, more versatile successor to the XC-77 for industrial imaging. It is part of Sony’s XC-75/73 series, with variants including XC-73L and XC-73CE that maintain the family’s emphasis on OEM-friendly integration for inspection, robotics, and automated manufacturing workflows. Power input is specified as 10.5 to 15 V DC, enabling reliable operation in standard industrial environments, and the module format is intended for OEM applications where a standalone camera body isn’t required. These XC-73 modules are designed for fixed, head-on imaging in controlled settings, delivering robust monochrome imaging suitable for high-contrast inspection and measurement tasks in automation systems.
