1-2 Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide
Product Summary
The Vision HAWK Smart Camera is a compact industrial smart camera
that provides powerful machine vision capabilities with a small form factor
and intuitive software interface. The Vision HAWK is designed for
industrial environments where IP65/67 enclosure and rugged M12
connectivity are required.
Fully-integrated I/O and communications make the Vision HAWK easy to
incorporate in virtually any machine vision application. Patented liquid
lens autofocus and modular optical zoom enables the Vision HAWK to
inspect objects at distances from 33 mm to 2 m and beyond.
Pressing the AutoVISION button at the back of the Vision HAWK enables
real time dynamic autofocus. When an object is centered in the field of
view and the AutoVISION button is pressed, the camera automatically
adjusts focal distance and sets internal parameters to optimize image
captures.
AutoVISION software, designed for use with the Vision HAWK, provides
an intuitive interface, step-by-step configuration, and a library of presets
that allow easy setup and deployment. For more complex vision
applications, the system can be upgraded from AutoVISION to
Visionscape.
