Machine Vision Cameras
Machine Vision cameras are great for helping manufacturers cut down on defects, boost production yields, and improve efficiency on their production lines.
USB3 Vision cameras are becoming more popular because they’re simple, affordable, and offer high throughput compared to other Machine Vision technologies.
USB Extensions for Machine Vision Camera Applications
The only drawback with standard setups is USB 3.0’s three-meter distance limit, but Icron Technologies’ USB 3.0 Spectra™ extenders easily solve this problem.
Why Use Icron for Machine Vision Applications?
Machine Vision cameras are often used right at the action point, like on an automobile assembly line.
However, having the computer host in the same location isn’t always practical. In fact, around 20% of USB3 Vision camera applications need host extension beyond USB 3.0’s three-meter limit.
Icron’s USB 3.0 Spectra™ 3022 extender, with the ExtremeUSB® suite of features, allows for two USB3 Vision cameras to be extended up to 100 meters over multimode fiber without any loss in performance. It’s built to withstand commercial environments with its metal housing, Class B certification, and locking connectors.
ExtremeUSB Suite of Features
- Transparent USB extension
- True plug and play; no software drivers required
- Works with all major operating systems: Windows®, macOS™, Linux® and Chrome OS™
