Cameras

Cameras play a major role in defining the stability and reliability of a vision system, as well as its overall performance, and it is no coincidence that design often starts with the camera itself. Opto Engineering® produces and selects high-quality cameras that perfectly match its renown optics and illuminators to provide a complete bundle of machine vision components: with two decades of experience in the world of industrial automation, we can assist our customers in building a fast, reliable and cost-effective vision system.

Area scan cameras are the most employed because of their high versatility and ease of use, making them ideal for a wide variety of employs. Opto Engineering® offers an extensive range of USB3, Gigabit Ethernet and Camera Link area scan cameras to address all the possible requirements: from high-speed models suitable for fast in line applications to high-resolutions ones, in our portfolio you will find the perfect cameras that answer all your needs.

Line scan cameras are employed for web inspection, such as in printings or packaging quality check, or either when large or long objects, such as engine shafts or silicon wafers need to be imaged. Opto Engineering® offers high-resolution line scan cameras featuring Camera Link interface for maximum speed and reliability.

Basics

A camera is a remote sensing device that can capture and store or transmit images. Light is collected and focused through an optical system on a sensitive surface (sensor) that converts intensity and frequency of the electromagnetic radiation to information, through chemical or electronic processes.

The simplest system of this kind consists of a dark room or box in which light enters only from a small hole and is focused on the opposite wall, where it can be seen by the eye or captured on a light sensitive material (i.e. photographic film). This imaging method, which dates back centuries, is called ‘camera obscura’ (latin for ‘dark room’), and gave the name to modern cameras.

Camera technology has hugely improved in the last decades, since the development of Charge Coupled Device (CCD) and, more recently, of CMOS technology. Previous standard systems, such as vacuum tube cameras, have been discontinued. The improvements in image resolution and acquisition speed obviously also improved the quality and speed of machine vision cameras.
