Choosing appropriate machine vision lenses and cameras is essential for optimizing the performance of industrial automation systems. As robots evolve and become more advanced, their capacity to perceive and engage with their surroundings plays a critical role in enhancing productivity and precision. Machine vision, particularly with the integration of cutting-edge 3D vision technologies, allows robots to execute intricate tasks with both accuracy and efficiency.

Common Applications of Robot Control Vision Systems.

Machine vision lenses/cameras play a crucial role in a variety of robot control tasks, such as:

  • Precise location identification for pick-and-place operations
  • Guiding robotic movements
  • Tracking components on conveyor belts
  • Bin picking and object sorting
  • Automated palletizing and depalletizing
  • Assisting collaborative robots in navigation
  • Providing guidance for assembly of components
  • Inspecting products and large sub-assemblies
  • Supporting healthcare and medical robotic systems

The Influence of High-Quality Lenses/Cameras on Robotic Performance.

The selection of lenses/cameras significantly affects object detection and overall system efficiency. High-quality lenses deliver high-resolution imaging for identifying even the smallest defects, offer durability suited for industrial environments, ensure adaptability to different lighting conditions, and provide resistance to shock and vibration, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.

Designed for Shock and Vibration Resistance.

Cameras and lenses used in robotics must endure constant shock and vibration. Kowa provides ultra-compact lenses that enhance vibration resistance due to their reduced size and weight. Additionally, Kowa's ruggedized lens series takes this a step further, featuring glued glass elements, double-nut thread focusing rings, and variable step-up rings for different aperture adjustment. Kowa also designs its cameras to meet shock and vibration resistance standards, ensuring stable imaging without pixel shift even in high-vibration environments. Furthermore, Kowa offers customized solutions to make other lens series resistant to shock and vibration, broadening their range of applications.
