Sony CMOS Image Sensors for Industrial and Embedded Vision

FRAMOS is an official distributor of Sony CMOS image sensors, offering direct access to the industry’s most advanced imaging technology – trusted by engineers and product developers in machine vision, robotics, smart devices, and autonomous systems.

From global shutter sensors for high-speed motion capture to SWIR and stacked BSI sensors for advanced imaging applications, we help customers evaluate, select, and integrate the right image sensor for their system.

While distribution of Sony image sensors is now handled by our sister company, RESTAR FRAMOS Technologies, FRAMOS continues to serve as a manufacturer and solutions partner. We provide design services, integration support, and complete vision system development to help you move efficiently from concept to production.

Sensor Technology

Image sensors vary widely depending on architecture, pixel design, and imaging performance. At a high level, they fall into two main categories: CMOS and CCD.

Comparing Sensor Architectures at a Glance

Understand the performance trade-offs between CMOS and CCD sensors to make the right decision for your application.

Feature CMOS Sensors CCD Sensors
Speed Faster readout, supports global and rolling shutter Slower readout
Power Consumption Low, optimized for embedded systems Higher
Integration Easy integration with on-chip features Less flexible
Image Quality Excellent with advanced designs like Pregius/Starvis Very high in controlled lighting
Use Cases Embedded vision, robotics, smart devices Scientific, medical, lab systems

CMOS sensors – especially Sony’s Pregius and Starvis lines – have become the standard for most modern imaging applications. CCDs remain relevant for legacy systems and certain high-end scientific applications, and FRAMOS continues to support both.

The following categories of image sensors provide specialized functionalities suited for different use cases

Types of Image Sensors

Explore the functional types of image sensors supported by FRAMOS to match your application’s depth, light spectrum, speed, or scene dynamics.

Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensors

ToF sensors measure the time it takes for light to travel to a surface and back, enabling depth perception and 3D imaging. Used in robotics, industrial automation, and AR/VR where spatial awareness is key.

Explore ToF Sensors

Global Shutter Sensors

Capture the entire frame at once to eliminate motion blur. Ideal for high-speed applications such as factory automation, robotics, and barcode scanning.

Explore Global Shutter Sensors

Rolling Shutter Sensors

Exposes pixels row-by-row for reduced complexity and cost. Best suited for consumer devices, mobile cameras, and surveillance with minimal motion artifacts.

swir-card-icon

SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) Sensors

SWIR sensors detect wavelengths between 900–1700 nm, enabling imaging through materials and in low light. Applications include food inspection, pharmaceutical QC, and night vision.

Explore SWIR Sensors
cis-card-icon

Contact Image Sensors (CIS)

Compact linear sensors designed for close-range scanning applications. Ideal for barcode readers, document scanners, and compact inspection systems where space is limited.

Explore CIS Sensors
area-card-icon

Area Sensors

Capture 2D images with a full rectangular pixel array, enabling detailed spatial imaging. Used in machine vision, surveillance, and industrial inspection where high resolution and frame rates are critical.

Explore Area Sensors
uv-card-icon

Ultraviolet (UV) Sensors

Image wavelengths beyond visible light. Used in forensics, semiconductor inspection, fluorescence imaging, and medical diagnostics.

Explore UV Sensors
evs-card-icon

Event-Based Vision Sensors (EVS)

Only capture pixel-level changes instead of full frames, offering ultra-low latency and power efficiency. Ideal for autonomous navigation, gesture recognition, and high-speed tracking.

Explore EVS Sensors
polarization-card-icon

Polarization Sensors

Detect the polarization angle of light to reveal surface stress, material properties, and micro-defects. Common in quality control, metrology, and precision inspection.
