Protect your vision investment with a IP67-compliant machine vision camera enclosure

ORCA housings and accessories for protection against dust, water, high/low temperatures

For large cameras
Manufactured from robust anodised aluminium, Orca housings provide IP67-level protection for large cameras with cross sections up to 62 x 62 mm.

With a small form factor and available in three lengths up to 250mm, the enclosures are suited for all environments where components cannott be freely mounted.

Designed with a choice of either 2" or 3" front windows, the Orca enclosures enable the mounting of ring lights with diameters up to 78mm. Additionally, the 3" front window can accommodate wide-angle or telecentric lenses.

Special requirements
Users can select special solutions for specific requirements; for example, there are models available for fisheye or panamorph lenses with an image angle of up to 200° and equipped with a dome window. Orca enclosures for thermal imaging cameras featuring a 2” or 3” infrared transparent Germanium window are also available. Mounting brackets for large cameras can also be provided

Camera mounting
Orca camera mounting blocks are available in 80mm lengths.

Internally, a flexible mounting position within the enclosure enables installation of the camera at any angle and in any positron and using autoVimation's construction kit, assembling and adjustment of all vision components on any machine frame to the user's exact requirements are possible. The use of autoVimation's construction kit simplifies assembly and adjustment of all components including those used in 3D applications by using the triangulation building kit.

Rear wall options
Options include various back walls that can be fitted with large cable glands.

Protecting against environmental influences`
Heat dissipation and control
Whereas other camera enclosures might increase camera temperature, due to good thermal conductivity to the outer enclosure, a valuable benefit of Autovimation enclosures is their patented heat-dissipation feature with the ability to passively cool the cameras up to 10°. Alternatively, for outdoor applications where cameras are required to operate in extremely low temperatures, the enclosures can be fitted with a controlled heating system that keeps the camera at a minimum of 10 °C and so preventing camera damage.
Dust control
An air curtain can be mounted to the front lid of Orca enclosures with a 2” front window providing a clear view even in dusty environments.
