Smart Camera System

The Caminax image-processing system, based on a smart camera by !%Vision Components%!, has been used by FiberVision to design a positioning system for the manufacture of spinnerets. The positioning system adjusts nozzle openings with diameters between 60 and 500 μm, while the camera, mounted sideways at a distance, uses a telecentric measuring lens to achieve a resolution of 2 μm at a working distance of 110 mm. The compact system, operating without a separate PC, control cabinet or fan, displays its results on a VGA monitor.
