Adapters for
Industrial image processing

This makes industrial inspection systems more flexible, faster and less complex in terms of application. SVS-Vistek now offers the new SVS-EF adapter, which allows Canon EF-mount lenses to be controlled directly from the camera. Many current industrial inspection solutions still work with fixed focal length lenses. However, the trend here is towards more flexible solutions and the demand for focusable lenses is growing. An inspection solution should be able to be quickly adapted to new products or, even better, in the sense of Industry 4.0 (batch size 1 piece), adapt to the respective object. Focusable lenses are an important component here, as they facilitate the inspection of objects of different sizes.

SVS-Vistek industrial cameras from the EXO, FXO and HR series now also support focusable lenses with Canon EF mount using the new SVS-EF adapter. It enables and simplifies flexible inspection solutions with all SVS-Vistek camera models. Until now, the search for a suitable combination of cameras and components for a solution with focusable lenses was severely limited. Often the components did not fit together and/or additional proprietary drivers for lens control had to be integrated, which significantly increased the complexity. With the SVS-EF adapter, all cameras in the EXO, FXO and HR series now offer a slim alternative with the highest image quality. This provides the user with a wide selection of cameras for every application.

Camera controls lenses

The solution is simple: as with an SLR, the camera should control the lens. And the new SVS-EF adapter offers exactly that - seamless integration of the lens into the camera's GenICam tree. The camera takes over the control as well as the power supply of the lens. The SVS-EF adapter allows the connection of all lenses of the Canon EF and Canon EF-S series. No additional hardware or software is required. All SVS-Vistek cameras of the EXO, FXO and HR series with C-mount, M42 and M58 support the new SVS-EF adapter.

Faster inspection

Complex robotic inspection systems benefit in particular from focusable lenses, as travel times of the robot arm, camera or object can be significantly reduced. Excellent results can be achieved with the new SVS-EF adapter, even at the highest resolutions. In combination with the integrated multichannel strobe controller, extremely lean and efficient applications are created.
