Solution

Component Matching and Supply

Light, controller, lens and camera specified together as one imaging chain instead of four separate purchase lines.

Overview

What This Covers

A vision station is one optical chain. Change the light and the exposure changes, change the lens and the working distance changes, change the camera and the resolution per millimetre changes. Buying the four parts from four suppliers is how projects end up with an image that almost works.

SBS Vision covers machine vision LED lights, camera, lens and optics as four business segments of one group, which is why the light, the controller, the lens and the camera can be specified against each other on a single enquiry thread.

Process

From Requirement To Delivery

One Enquiry Not Four

Send the application once. The light, the controller, the lens and the camera come back as a matched set.

Controller Compatibility Confirmed

Every lighting series publishes its recommended controller series in the parameter table, so drive compatibility is checked before you order.

Interface And Sensor Match

Camera interface, sensor size and lens image circle are checked together so the lens actually covers the sensor you bought.

Single Point Of Support

When the image is not right, there is one supplier to talk to rather than four who each blame the other three.

Repeatable Bill Of Materials

The proven combination becomes a fixed set of model numbers for repeat builds.

FAQ

Component Matching and Supply FAQ

Why buy the whole chain from one supplier
Because compatibility problems between light, controller, lens and camera are the most common reason a vision station underperforms, and they are the hardest to diagnose across four vendors.
Which controller works with which light
Each lighting product page publishes the recommended controller series in its parameter table, typically the SBS-AC analog, SBS-DC digital or SBS-ODC strobe series.
Do you supply cameras from a single brand
The area scan camera range covers GigE, GigE PoE and USB 3.0 interfaces across a wide selection of CCD and CMOS sensors, supporting GigEVision, USB3Vision and GenICam plus third party software such as HALCON, MERLIC and LabVIEW.
Can you quote a full station bill of materials
Yes. Send the application over WhatsApp or email and the light, controller, lens and camera come back priced as one set.
