Train and adjust these cameras right from the touchscreen monitor—no computer needed. They recognize defects and alert your system to remove or redirect faulty items on your line. With each image, these cameras also record what problem they were inspecting for with a pass or fail grade, which you can view on the monitor. Program them to check for drilled holes or blemishes, such as scratches. They’re also able to verify if a part or feature has the right shape, orientation, text, or logo. Since these cameras can’t focus on every detail of your part at once, it’s best to inspect for one problem at a time.

Since they come with a lens and light built in, they’re compact and easy to set up. Each image snapped is in grayscale, avoiding color distortions. Both the housing and the lens on these cameras is tightly sealed to keep out dust and moisture in tough manufacturing environments.

The ring light provides illumination from all directions. It gives off crisp cool tones that are ideal for inspection work. However, its white light will reflect on shiny surfaces, which affects accuracy.

Configure the output signal as either PNP or NPN to match the input of your line’s programmable logic controller (PLC) or other control device.

Field of view adjustment lens kits (sold separately) include five different lenses to change the view width and focus of your camera. The smaller the lens size, the wider the field of view.

Automate quality checks on your line—these cameras can detect if a part has missing pieces, misprinted labels, or other defects, then alert your system to pull it off the line. They come with a lens and a light built in, so they’re compact and simple enough to set up on your own. Use a computer and the included software to train them on what objects to focus on and what problems to look for with just a few images. You can teach them to count objects as they go by and even measure the distance between edges. They’re also able to check printed text and characters against a template and make sure barcodes are scannable. Or, to help with tracking and inventory, use these cameras to scan serial numbers and barcodes. They work with both standard 1D barcodes and 2D barcodes, such as QR codes.

These cameras capture high-quality images in grayscale that aren't distorted by color variation. The camera lens, also known as a liquid lens, automatically focuses on objects as they pass by on lines moving as quickly as a brisk walk. Without moving parts that could wear down over time, it lasts longer than a traditional geared autofocus lens. However, it can’t focus on every aspect of an object at once, so it’s best to inspect for one problem at a time. With each image, these cameras also record what problem they were inspecting for along with a pass or fail grade.

Mount them directly to a machine on your line—no mounting brackets needed. Built for tough manufacturing environments, these cameras have a rugged case that protects them from dust and water. You’ll need a cord (sold separately) to connect them to your network. Configure the output signal as either PNP or NPN to match the input of your programmable logic controller (PLC) or other control device.

Cameras with a wide lens are best for inspecting larger details, like how many eggs are in a carton or if a jug has a spout or not. Cameras with a medium lens catch whether a bottle cap has a seal and other details that are too small for cameras with a wide lens. Cameras with a narrow lens focus on small, specific areas, making them a good choice for checking the solder joint on a printed circuit board.

Cameras with light are a great option when inspecting reflective objects, such as metallic surfaces, since they don’t cause excessive glare. Cameras with ring light provide illumination from all directions.

Cameras with white light give off clean, crisp, cool tones that are ideal for inspection work. However, the white light will reflect on shiny surfaces. Cameras with red light won’t create a reflection or glare because the red color is absorbed by materials, which makes them ideal for inspecting shiny glass, plastic, or metal objects. However, cameras with red light won't create enough contrast to inspect red-colored objects.
