Siemens supplies cameras and machine vision systems for more than 20 years now. The current portfolio offers a range of intelligent vision sensors and handheld devices for specific applications like object finding and 2D code reading. Those sensors are to be trained instead of programmed and are thus easily implemented. Additionally a range of several smart cameras allows easy integration into automation solutions via Profibus and Industrial Ethernet. The product range includes high-speed cameras, high resolution cameras and colour cameras. Frame grabber, vision boards with accelerator and vision processor boards complete the portfolio for PC based vision solutions. Powerful SW packages, which feature sophisticated tools for image evaluation and do not need to be programmed are used for parameterization of the general purpose systems. Accessories like lighting and lenses round up the portfolio. Certified system partners are able to provide well-engineered solutions with SIMATIC Machine Vision.
