Do you need Support with Selecting an Industrial Camera?

Our industrial cameras are available with USB2, USB3 and GigE interfaces. The cameras are equipped with the latest image sensors from Sony, Aptina, OnSemi and other well-known industrial image sensor manufacturers.

In our article "How to select an Industrial camera interface" we discuss the industrial camera interfaces, the pro and cons. Below you can find a summary of the article. If you need further support with selecting an industrial camera, please contact us.

Top 5 Industrial Camera Interfaces

There are many industrial camera interfaces available. The following table shows a summary of all interfaces and we will discuss the 5 industrial camera interfaces that we offer further.

USB3 Vision Industrial Camera

The USB3.0 Vision industrial camera interface is the fastest interface with the highest bandwidth we support, and it uses the least amount of computer processor power out of the 3. Therefore, it is ideal for high resolution and high-speed imaging. The cable length on the other hand, is limited to 4.6 meters. More information about the USB3 Vision industrial camera protocol is available in our blog.

GigE Vision Industrial Camera

The GigE Vision industrial camera interface is often used in machine vision applications, which require longer cable lengths (>5m). Bandwidth is average (between USB2.0 and USB3.0). This makes it ideal for most machine vision applications. Both 20MP sensors with low framerates as low-resolution cameras with high framerates are available with GigE.

5GigE Vision Industrial Camera

The 5GigE Vision industrial Camera interface is a new interface that that requries a 5GigE or 10GigE networkcard to operate at full speed. It is using the same cable infrastructure as GigE,  This interface is very interesting for industrial camera applications where long cable lengths and high frame rates with high resolutions are required.

10GigE Vision Industrial Camera

10GigE Vision Industrial cameras require a 10GigE infrastructure. It has the highest bandwidth. However the interface is also relative expensive. For most of the industrial camera applications, GigE, 5GigE and USB3 will deliver sufficient bandwidth.

 

Industrial Camera Technology

Industrial cameras, also known as Vision Cameras or Machine vision cameras are designed for industrial and medical applications. The main differences between an industrial camera and a security or consumer camera are:

  • An industrial camera gives out the RAW information, without image compression.
  •  Very low latency between image capture and image received by the PC
  • Option to exact trigger the moment that the image should be captured
  • Longevity, industrial cameras have a minimum life time cycle of 5-7 years (as most of the time even longer), while security and consumer cameras have a life time cycle of 1-2 years
  • image-sensor-sensitivity, industrial cameras have larger and therefore more light sensitive sensors. As a result the images are better during low light conditions or short exposure times
  • With a industrial camera you have access to more features, for example LUT tables, region-of-interest, triggering, pixel-binning etc.These are the mean reasons to select an industrial camera

Industrial Camera Applications

In almost every market industrial cameras are used. Some example are:

  • Pharmaceutical; inspecting products like capsule, injection, bubble cap, label of the package and etc.
  • Traffic and transportation; industrial cameras for inspection of railways, Automatic Number Plate Reading (ANPR), Speed control, inspection of roads, 360 degree imaging (street view),
  •  3D scanners; these have industrial cameras inside to generate a 3D point cloud. It is used to determine height of an object, distance of an object or checking for defects (missing parts) on a product. It can also be used for making 3D models or even scanning complete persons to integrate them digitally into movies and games
  •  Industrial; inspection of glass bottles, carpet, industrial printing machines, etc.
  • Logistics; barcode reading, DMC reading, check size of package
  • Automations; Robots, palletizers, optical guidance systems, quality inspections, position recognition etc.
  • Medical; Devices that include industrial camera technology like Endoscopes, Ophthalmology, overview camera during MRI scans, robot surgery, digital microscopes etc.
  • Research, Laboratory; Industrial cameras on existing microscopes, digital microscopes etc.
  • Sports; tracking movement of sportsmen, animals (horses), objects (golf simulator) etc. using and industrial camera
