Machine vision

Industrial cameras, optics, lighting, and TwinCAT Vision software in one toolchain.

官網產品總覽 →

Beckhoff bundles machine vision hardware with PLC-centric engineering: image acquisition and processing align with real-time tasks instead of an isolated vision PC silo.

工業相機與影像介面

GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, and Camera Link families (availability per catalog) connect to industrial PCs with deterministic integration paths in TwinCAT.

  • 解析度、帧率、感光與全域/捲簾快門依檢測需求選型。
  • 線掃或面掃依被測物與節拍。

鏡頭與光源

  • 鏡頭:工作距離、視野、畸變與光圈匹配相機與物距。
  • 光源:條光、環光、同軸等依材質與對比度設計。

TwinCAT Vision 軟體

Vision runs as TwinCAT modules: PLC can trigger acquisition, receive results, and drive actuators in the same task context (subject to PC performance and cycle design).

  • 常用工具:定位、量測、讀碼等依授權與版本。
  • 與 HMI、追溯與外部系統整合需依專案架構。

整合注意事項

  • 照明穩定性與機械振動會直接影響檢測重複性。
  • CPU/GPU 負載與 EtherCAT 週期需一併評估。

Appendix: camera families & configuration fields (excerpt)

Camera order codes specify sensor, resolution, color/mono, shutter, lens mount, and interface (GigE/USB3/Camera Link). Full strings are long—use the vision product filter on beckhoff.com.

Family / exampleInterfaceTypical configuration axes
CU20xx / CU40xxGigE VisionResolution, sensor, mono/color, PoE
CU50xxUSB3 VisionCable length, power, bandwidth
Camera LinkCL base / medium / fullTap configuration, pixel clock
LensC-mount / othersWD, FOV, focal length, aperture
IlluminationLED bar / ringWavelength, strobing, overdrive

Every camera has a full order code matrix in the PDF data sheet; do not rely on this excerpt for procurement.

Camera firmware and TwinCAT Vision versions must be matched per release notes—check Beckhoff downloads before upgrading a line.
