Section 2: Product Overview
Q8: What product lines does MindVision offer?
Area scan, line scan, high-speed, thermal, SWIR, and fiber optic industrial cameras.
Q9: What is a fiber optic industrial camera?
A camera with dual 16G SFP Plus links, 3 times 10GigE bandwidth, 75 meters, EMI-immune.
Q10: Which high-speed camera is representative?
MV-H2F205GM: 2048×1080 at 1608.25FPS, 6×6µm pixels, 0.0097ms exposure, dual 16G SFP Plus, C-mount, IP40.
Q11: Monochrome or color camera, how do I choose?
Monochrome for defect detection and measurement; color for sorting and print deviation.
Q12: What can a SWIR camera do?
Sees wafer cracks, moisture, and material differences invisible to visible light (900 to 1700nm).
Q13: Line scan or area scan, how do I decide?
Area scan captures full 2D images; line scan suits long or cylindrical formats.
Q14: Which interfaces and software are supported?
GigE, 10GigE, USB3, fiber SFP Plus; GenICam SDK with Halcon, LabVIEW, DirectShow.
Q15: What triggering and I/O capabilities exist?
Continuous, software, and hardware triggering, plus encoder and isolated inputs, OC outputs.
Section 3: After-Sales Service
Q16: What is the warranty policy?
Every camera carries a 24-month warranty from receipt, covering repair or replacement.
Q17: What technical support is available?
Free remote support via email: drivers, tuning, Halcon and LabVIEW, firmware.
Q18: What is the repair request process?
Email model, serial number, and fault details; most issues resolve remotely.
Q19: How are returns and exchanges handled?
Exchange within the inspection period if mismatched or damaged; terms follow the contract.
Q20: Can I get technical support before purchase?
Yes: free consultation on parameters, feasibility, and lens matching.
Section 4: Industrial Camera Fundamentals
Q21: What is an industrial camera?
The core imaging component of machine vision: microsecond triggering, 24/7 stability, open parameters.
Q22: What is machine vision?
Cameras, lighting, and algorithms replacing the human eye for inspection and measurement.
Q23: How does resolution translate into accuracy?
Size per pixel is field of view divided by pixel count, plus a 2 to 4 pixel margin.
Q24: How do frame rate and exposure relate?
Frame rate avoids missed frames, exposure avoids blur; limit is exposure plus readout time.
Q25: CMOS or CCD, and which shutter?
Choose CMOS and a global shutter for moving targets; rolling shutters distort fast motion.
Q26: What does pixel size affect?
Larger pixels improve sensitivity and SNR; smaller pixels raise resolution.
Q27: How do I choose an industrial camera interface?
GigE 1Gbps, USB3 3 to 5Gbps, 10GigE 10Gbps, CoaXPress 12.5Gbps, dual 16G fiber SFP Plus (75 meters).
Q28: What are GenICam and IP protection ratings?
GenICam runs cameras directly in Halcon and LabVIEW; IP ratings go IP40 to IP69K.
Section 5: Applications and Selection Advice
Q29: Which industries use MindVision cameras?
Photovoltaic, display, PCB, metal, plastics, medical, semiconductor, logistics, food.
Q30: How do I handle high-interference production lines?
A fiber optic camera: 75 meters, EMI-immune, with encoder inputs and GenICam.
Q31: How do I select cameras for semiconductor inspection?
A high-speed or line scan camera for surface defects, a SWIR camera for internal cracks.
Q32: What cameras suit food and logistics inspection?
Color cameras for grading, SWIR for moisture sorting, IP67 or IP69K for washdown.
Q33: How do I inspect large-format rolled materials?
Line count times travel distance gives total resolution, with encoder triggering.
Q34: How do I get help choosing a camera model?
Email globalmarket@mindvision.com.cn with targets, field of view, and accuracy.
