Mount the Vision System
Note :
l
For the mounting holes closest to the lens opening, the thread length
of the M3 screw should not exceed 4.5mm. For the mounting holes
closest to the connectors, the thread length of the M3 screw should
not exceed 1.6mm. This does not include the thickness of the
mounting material used.
l
The accessory mounting kit includes a mounting block and M3 screws
(quantity 4) for mounting the vision system and securing it to a
mounting surface. The mounting block also provides 1/4-20 and M6
mounting holes for attaching the vision system to a mounting surface.
l
It is recommended that the vision system be grounded, either by
mounting the vision system to a fixture that is electrically grounded or
by attaching a wire from the vision system's mounting fixture to frame
ground or Earth ground.
1. Align the holes on the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the
vision system.
2. Insert the M3 screws into the mounting holes and tighten using a 2.5mm hex
wrench; the maximum torque is 0.3 Nm (2.5 in-lb).
Install the Lens
1. Remove the protective film covering the threaded lens opening, if present.
2. Attach a C-Mount lens to the vision system. The exact lens focal length
needed depends on the working distance and the field of view required for
your machine vision application.
