What is an Industrial Camera?

The industrial camera is designed to be used in machine vision systems and typically images are output in real time to be captured and processed to determine a result. Often at high speed and with no human intervention. An industrial camera can be used in food processing, manufacturing quality control, packaging, robotics, border control and many more.

An industrial camera is typically made up of a sensor with circuitry to capture and control images, followed by memory buffering and output interface circuitry. Modern industrial cameras are designed for robust, reliable operation and full use of output bandwidth for maximum frames per second.

Today’s industrial cameras are commonly based on CMOS sensors and are available in a wide range of resolutions, colour and monochrome options, shutter types and interfaces including USB, GigE, 5GigE, 10GigE, 25GigE, Camera Link, CoaXpress and embedded interfaces.

Industrial cameras are focused on image quality without compromising measurement truth. Consumer and surveillance cameras are designed for visual aesthetics, while industrial cameras are designed to produce images in which data is accurate and measurable.
