1. What is an industrial camera?

Industrial camera is a special type of camera that is adapted to work in extreme conditions (high temperature, pressure and vibration) such as factories, factories, etc. They are used to control the production cycle. production, tracking units on conveyors, detecting micro-parts, navigating robots, scanning barcodes, monitoring production, sorting and measuring products, without contact… Therefore, look In general, their range is almost limitless.

2. Applications of industrial cameras

2.1. Applications in production and manufacturing

  • Measure, check product dimensions without contact

Traditional product measurements are performed using carefully calibrated mechanical instruments. Measurement workers need highly specialized techniques to help them get accurate measurement results. Large-scale production, many products, and small sizes make measurement difficult and time-consuming. time, effort.

Industrial camera is the optimal alternative, helping to measure product dimensions remotely without contact with high accuracy, fast measurement speed. The camera can measure the distance, angle, area, match, … of the product. Applying cameras to industrial production helps your business save labor costs, minimize errors compared to traditional measurement methods.

  • Check product appearance

In the past, product error checking was often visually checked by workers with the naked eye. This not only wastes time and labor, but also does not guarantee accuracy. Especially for small, highly complex products such as circuit boards, electronic components, printed circuit boards, etc. Industrial camera application in the “automatic bond inspection system” will solve these problems. .

Industrial cameras are used in product inspection to detect defects and classify defective products before moving to the next stage. As a result, defective products will not be able to pass through and reach customers.

Application industrial camera helps to detect defective products quickly and accurately, replacing humans in detecting product defects.

                                  

  • Optical character check

In addition, the camera also supports checking optical characters on product packaging such as date, product code, etc. Based on available font samples or direct sampling, verifying print quality, Optical coding becomes easy, simple.

Time image processing fast, meet production needs with great productivity, can reach 90,000/hour.

  • Check product barcodes

With the function of checking the barcodes, evaluate the quality of printing on the packaging surface of the product. Barcode inspection helps to evaluate whether the barcode is printed correctly, meets the printing standards clearly, sharp, printed in the right position or not.

Combined with a speed reading camera, image processing time, reading barcodes fast, under 10ms. The camera is capable of scanning images up to 90,000 products/hour. The camera can scan barcodes at many angles, the product is rotated, the position is not fixed or in a constantly changing light environment.
