Hikrobot Camera Lens Alternatives: 6 Specs to Check | POMEAS
Substituting the FA lens on a Hikrobot camera fails on image circle, back focal length and distortion. Six parameters to check, with published POMEAS values.
Basler C-Mount Camera Lens Alternatives: 6 Checks | POMEAS
A C-mount thread does not make two lenses interchangeable. Six parameters to verify before substituting the FA lens on a Basler camera, with POMEAS values.
Cognex Camera Lens Alternatives: 6 Specs to Check | POMEAS
Swapping the fixed-focal lens on a running Cognex station fails on numbers most datasheets omit. Six parameters to verify, with published POMEAS FA values.
AI Optical Sorting for Small Parts: Throughput, Coverage and Changeover | POMEAS
Six cameras, CPU+GPU processing and up to 800 parts per minute. What PMS-PL06 is published to do, and four questions that decide if a sorter fits.
Infinity-Corrected Microscope Unit Selection: MPT-AF, MPT-BF, MPT-N | POMEAS
A microscope unit fixes the maximum sensor, mount and tube lens focal length that rescales every objective. MPT-AF, MPT-BF and MPT-N compared, with the magnification factor.
Dome Lighting for Reflective Curved Parts: Selection and Its Limits | POMEAS
A dome light removes the directional reflection that blinds a camera on curved metal and glass — and the shadow that makes a scratch visible. GR70 to GR325 selection.
UV and IR Machine Vision Lighting: 365/395 nm and 850/940 nm Selection | POMEAS
When visible light cannot separate the feature: choosing 365 nm or 395 nm for fluorescence, and 850 nm or 940 nm for penetration, with the camera IR-cut filter check.
Machine Vision Light Controller: Channels, 256-Step Dimming, Strobe and Trigger | POMEAS
The controller decides the brightness that reaches the part. Constant current vs constant voltage, channel budget, 256-level dimming, RS-232 control and trigger response.
16K Line-Scan Lens Selection: Magnification, Line Rate and Mount Checks | POMEAS
Specified by sensor line length, not sensor format: magnification, working distance and line rate for the POMEAS 16K series, with M72 mount and 82 mm image circle checks.
