Illumination is key to camera performance. An illumination system by Leuze is used on the smart camera, which uses special optics, instead of conventional LEDs. Eight rectangular segments fitted with precisely calculated, free-form shapes, generate an extremely homogeneous, intense, rectangular light pattern in the range from 50 to 250mm.

A motor-driven focus adjustment function enables the focus to be adjusted from any PC for setup. The entire image processing software is integrated inside the LSIS 400i and accessible using a web browser, there is no software to buy.

Focus settings and other criteria such as object detection are stored within the camera. This enables a PLC or even just a switch to select the program and respective focus setting for the distance between the camera and that production run.
