What is a GigE Area Scan Camera
?
?
GigE Area Scan Camera are designed to send RAW image data to a computer as quickly as possible. This data is uncompressed, enabling very precise analysis by image processing software. Gigabit Ethernet cameras can achieve precise control down to the microsecond level. These cameras possess industrial-grade quality and are reliable.
What is an IP Camera or an Ethernet Camera?
IP camera is synonymous with Ethernet camera. These are mainly used for security purposes. The images transmitted via network cables will be compressed. This means that the storage space required to save these images is relatively small. However, these compressed images also lack details, which are crucial for machine vision applications. There is also a relatively large delay when capturing and receiving images, and it is impossible to trigger an Ethernet camera precisely.
What is a GigE Area Scan Camera and what is PoE?
GigE Area Scan Camera is the most commonly used interface for connecting vision cameras in machine vision applications. PoE stands for Power over Ethernet. This means that the network cable is used as both a communication medium and a power source for the camera. Gigabit Ethernet cameras are used in factories for product quality inspection and process automation. Gigabit Ethernet cameras provide RAW images to a computer via network cables. Next, the image processing software on the computer analyzes these images. The result of this process determines what will happen next. For example, controlling a robot or separating good products from bad ones.
What are the advantages of GigE cameras?
Ultra-fast Data Transmission
Relying on Gigabit Ethernet, GigE industrial cameras can transmit RAW image data to a computer at high speed, without loss and instantaneously. For example, in electronic chip inspection, the rapid transmission of data helps the software to capture micron-level defects, improving efficiency and ensuring quality.
Precise Time Control
With microsecond-level control capabilities, in high-speed automated production lines, such as in automobile manufacturing, it can accurately freeze the moment of high-speed moving parts, ensuring the quality of the assembly process.
Excellent System Compatibility
It is compatible with Ethernet and can be easily integrated into the existing industrial automation networks of enterprises. There is no need to lay additional dedicated lines, reducing costs and facilitating the intelligent transformation of traditional factories.
Strong Environmental Adaptability
The workshop environment is harsh. The protective shell of GigE industrial cameras is strong, with good sealing and strong shock resistance. It can operate stably in harsh environments such as steel smelting workshops.
Flexible Transmission Distance
Based on Gigabit Ethernet technology and conventional Ethernet cables, the maximum transmission distance can exceed 100 meters. When the factory building layout is far apart, there is no need to worry about signal attenuation, which is beneficial for remote monitoring and other applications.
