Beckhoff Vision integrated vision solution

Beckhoff Vision is an integrated platform for image processing with both software and hardware.

Beckhoff Vision is designed to offer machine builders and end users a complete image processing system that covers all the necessary components from software to lighting. Seamlessly integrated into EtherCAT-based control technology, it is designed to open up competitive advantages for users, including accurate synchronisation with machine processes, reduced engineering and hardware costs, and simplified commissioning and support.

In addition to the TwinCAT Vision software, the Vision portfolio also includes area-scan cameras that generate high-quality image data using colour and monochrome CMOS sensors with up to 24 MP resolution and 3.45 and 2.74 µm pixel pitch, in addition to offering transfer rates of 2.5 Gb/s. Robust, industrial C-mount lenses offer easy handling while also offering a VIS and NIR AR coating, up to 2 µm resolution, and image circles of 11 and 19.3 mm.

Multicolour LED lighting components come in three designs — area, ring and bar lighting — to produce constant lighting conditions for consistent images. They also help to create the best possible contrast between the inspection feature and its surroundings.

Complete units consisting of camera, lighting devices and focusable lenses are also available.
