High-performance camera technology from Leuze

October 2010 Sensors & Transducers

The new Leuze LSIS 400i series smart camera is a high performance unit equipped with features that simplify integration for the user and offer flexibility in the application as well as a wide usage spectrum. Offering high process reliability, this smart camera has features such as webConfig, motor-driven focus adjustment, homogeneous light design and a powerful blob analysis.

Industrial image processing is used for quality assurance, object detection and position determination applications and for identification or for production process monitoring. Important to the success of image processing applications are illumination, flexibility during camera adjustment and the costs associated with integration. This includes mounting and alignment options as well as easy operation.

The Leuze smart cameras offer fast and flexible solutions for these applications. They are powerful and can be integrated quickly and at low cost. Illumination is an important qualitative feature of such systems, and instead of using conventional LEDs, Leuze developed a new, innovative illumination system with special optics. It consists of eight rectangular segments fitted with precisely calculated, free-form shapes. As a result, each of the segments generates an extremely intense, rectangular light pattern that is particularly homogeneous in the range from 50 to 250 mm.
