Product Information

  • Name : Industrial camera
  • SKU : BLT-39
  • Category : industrial-cameras

An industrial camera, also known as an industrial video camera, is a professional imaging device distinct from civilian surveillance cameras, specifically designed for image acquisition in industrial settings. It is used in conjunction with lenses, light sources, image acquisition cards, and industrial control systems. Based on output interfaces, it can be categorized into types such as USB, GigE (Gigabit Ethernet), CameraLink, and CoaXPress. According to scanning methods, it is divided into area scan cameras and line scan cameras. These cameras support high frame rates, high pixel counts, resistance to strong light and interference, and continuous, uninterrupted operation over long periods. They are often equipped with explosion-proof housings and protective covers, enabling stable performance in harsh conditions involving dust, humidity, extreme temperatures, and strong electromagnetic interference. As such, they are core hardware for machine vision inspection, production line monitoring, security explosion-proof surveillance, and visual equipment operation and maintenance.

**Working Principle** The internal photosensitive chip (CMOS/CCD) receives the optical image projected by the lens, converts the light signal into a digital image signal, and transmits the image data to a computer, industrial control host, or NVR storage device via a dedicated high-speed transmission interface. The software performs algorithm-based analysis on the image to complete tasks such as dimensional measurement, defect identification, barcode reading, and product sorting and counting. For security applications, it can directly store video footage, detect motion for alarms, and be integrated with platforms for remote viewing and video playback. Explosion-proof industrial cameras use flameproof enclosures to isolate internal circuit sparks, preventing ignition of flammable or explosive gases. **Application Fields** 1. **Industrial Machine Vision**: Detection of electronic component defects, PCB board quality inspection, packaging appearance verification, material positioning and dimensional measurement on production lines. 2. **Chemical Explosion-Proof Security**: Explosion-proof video surveillance in oil refineries, chemical plants, gas stations, and hazardous chemical warehouses to eliminate explosion risks caused by sparks from ordinary cameras. 3. **Smart Manufacturing Production Lines**: Mechanical processing, robotic arm visual positioning, automotive parts assembly identification, and logistics barcode sorting. 4. **Mines, Tunnels, and Construction Sites**: Dust-proof and waterproof real-time video monitoring in underground mines, tunnels, and construction areas for remote supervision of operations. 5. **Special Equipment Operation and Maintenance**: Visual monitoring of port lifting equipment, power substations, and server rooms/cabinets for remote inspection of equipment operational status.
