The difference between industrial cameras and ordinary cameras

Nowadays, science and technology are developing at a rapid pace. Everyone knows that it is a technological society. Machines are used instead of human hands to do efficient work. This is machine vision. Then today we will talk about an important component of machine vision - industrial cameras. Talk about the simpler content. Many people wonder. Why are industrial cameras so expensive? I summarize the reasons as follows:

1. The industrial camera has a very short shutter time and can capture fast moving objects.
For example, an industrial camera captures an image of a high-speed rotating fan of a computer, which clearly identifies the manufacturer's sign on the fan blade. It is impossible to achieve this effect by shooting with a normal camera. This mainly involves the issue of exposure time. Industrial camera exposure can reach tens of thousands of parts and hundreds of thousands of parts.

2. The image sensor of an industrial camera is progressively scanned, while the image sensor of a general camera is interlaced, even three lines apart.
Progressively scanned image sensors are difficult to produce, have low yields, and have low shipments. Only a few companies in the world can offer such products at an expensive price. The price of a million-level progressive scan ccd ranges from a few thousand yuan to several tens of thousands of yuan. Only by using a progressive scan image sensor, it is possible to capture fast moving objects, and interlaced cameras capture images. Smear phenomenon.

3. The shooting speed of industrial cameras is much higher than that of ordinary cameras.
Industrial cameras can shoot from ten frames to hundreds of frames per second, and high-speed industrial cameras can reach more than a thousand frames, while a typical camera can only take 2-3 images. Like the American SVSI camera, he is a high-speed camera dedicated to slow-motion analysis.

4, industrial camera output is bare data, its spectral range is often wider, more suitable for high-quality image processing algorithms. The picture taken by a general camera has a spectral range that is only suitable for human vision. For example, the German kappa camera, which is an industrial camera that can capture high image quality in the machine vision industry, has better anti-vibration effect and is suitable for aeronautics, fluorescence microscopy, product quality inspection and so on.

5, industrial cameras can work for a long time, such as 24 hours a day, work for 6 months, civilians can not.

6, industrial cameras can work in harsh environments, such as colder temperatures. The American FLI camera is a cooling, low noise CCD camera. Widely used in astronomy, spectroscopy and biology.

In the wave of developments in machine vision, the visual project has also become intricate, and at the same time put forward higher requirements for lighting and optical components, Fang Qian Technology came into being. As an independent supplier of light source and lens solutions, we offer the selection and testing of light sources, lenses and filters to help visual integrators build stable and efficient machine vision systems. We mainly represent many internationally renowned industrial camera brands Bitflow, Epix, SVS-Vistek, Leutron Vision, TVI Vision, Kappa, Microscan, Stemmer Imaging, etc. and image acquisition cards and software development platforms.
