Customization Options

When The Catalogue Part Is Not The Right Part

Model selection is made against sensor size, resolution, frame rate and interface. Mono and colour variants are listed per model in the parameter table.

More than 20 experienced customized design engineers work on lighting and optics design. Most customised products can be provided within two weeks, and for urgent demand this can be shortened to around five days.

Drawings and CAD files are handled over WhatsApp or email rather than an upload form. CAD on request via WhatsApp.

Specifying It Correctly

Define The Feature

Write down the smallest feature that has to be detected and the tolerance on it. That number sets the sensor resolution and the lens, before anything else is chosen.

Fix The Field Of View

Measure the largest part plus the mechanical tolerance on part position. Field of view and working distance together decide the focal length.

Choose The Lighting Geometry

Match the light to the surface: diffuse for curved or shiny parts, low angle for scratches and edges, back lighting for outline and dimension, coaxial for flat specular surfaces.

Match The Controller And Trigger

Confirm the recommended controller for the light, the trigger voltage and the response time, so the illumination is stable at the exposure the line speed forces on you.
