Cameras

Cameras play a fundamental role in machine vision systems, and are often the first component to be selected. Their key technical characteristics are: type of CMOS sensor, resolution, pixel size, communications interface, frame rate and mount. The reliability and performance of the cameras, in combination with the quality of the lenses, are what determine the stability and quality of the vision system.

Opto Engineering produces high quality, robust and compact cameras which, combined with the highest quality lenses, create complete machine vision solutions: with more than twenty years of experience in industrial automation, Opto Engineering assists its clients in building reliable vision systems by providing all necessary components at an excellent price point.

Area scan cameras are the most widely used in machine vision due to their ease of use, and are the ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from high speed in-line inspection to high precision measurement. Opto Engineering offers a wide range of Gigabit Ethernet, 10GigE and USB3 compatible area scan cameras equipped with high quality SONY® sensors, including Pregius™, Pregius™ S, Polarsens™ and SenSWIR™, in both high and low resolutions.

The advanced functions of Opto Engineering area scan cameras assure the high quality imaging demanded by innumerable applications. These cameras are ideally suited to multicamera systems for quality control, robot guidance and high speed in-line inspection in many industries, from automotive to beverage, electronics to pharmaceutics, as well as control applications in the healthcare industry and life sciences.

Opto Engineering’s high resolution line scan cameras with GigE Vision interface are used for monitoring materials in continuous movement. These cameras are used in web inspection, for inspecting large samples of paper and printed matter, fabric quality control, tile inspection and battery controls.
