Beckhoff Automation: Beckhoff Vision machine vision system

In addition to the Twincat Vision software, Beckhoff Vision now also includes an Ethercat-based hardware portfolio consisting of cameras, lenses and lighting. Application advantages result here from the deep integration into the control technology as well as the continuous ultra-fast Ethercat communication. This results in highly accurate synchronization with all machine processes, reduces engineering and hardware costs, and simplifies commissioning and support. The hardware design features IP65/IP67 anodized aluminum and tempered glass housings, high chemical resistance, flexible mounting options, and optional splinter protection.
