C-mount lenses have a 17.526mm flange focal distance, while CS-mount lenses have a 12.5mm distance. You can use a C-mount lens on a CS-mount camera with an adapter, but not vice versa.
Cameras Component Intelligence
Select high-performance imaging sensors for automated inspection and manual microscopy workflows.
What are Cameras components?
Cameras for optical inspection are selected based on sensor resolution, frame rate, and interface compatibility. Prioritize the optical path and sensor size to match your field of view requirements before evaluating software integration and mounting standards.
How to Choose Cameras Components
Focus on the optical chain and data throughput to ensure the camera meets your inspection precision requirements.
Sensor Resolution
Match pixel density to the smallest feature size you need to detect; higher resolution requires more processing bandwidth.
Interface Latency
Choose between USB 3.0, GigE, or HDMI based on your need for real-time monitoring versus high-speed data capture.
Mounting Standards
Verify C-mount or CS-mount compatibility with your existing lenses to avoid mechanical misalignment.
Frame Rate
Ensure the sensor can capture moving targets without motion blur by selecting appropriate shutter speeds and frame rates.
Software Integration
Confirm driver support for your specific machine vision environment or OS.
