Autofocus lens x Motorized zoom & focus lens in Machine vision
Machine vision applications often require precise control over what's in sharp focus. While autofocus offers convenience by automatically adjusting the lens, this relinquishes control from the user. Motorized zoom & focus systems are the preferred choice in machine vision for this very reason. They allow for deliberate selection of what needs to be focused on, ensuring a sharp image with the flexibility of remote adjustment.
When to use Motorized zoom & focus lenses
Motorized zoom focus lenses offer convenience and precision compared to traditional lenses in dynamic scenes. They allow you to control zoom, focus, and iris settings remotely, making them ideal for security systems where cameras can zoom in on suspicious activity or adjust focus for clear license plate recognition. These lenses also make multiple FOV and WD setups possible in your machine vision application. Product specific focus and zoom position can be easily configured and stored in the controller and loaded via external inputs connected to a PLC. The addition of the Python API allows you to program specific zoom, focus, and iris settings directly from your own program. Using external sensors or image processing logic, the position can be calculated and then be used to control the lens precisely. The controllers also uses the industry-standard Pelco-D commands and allows for seamless integration into your existing security systems, robotics projects, or automated workflows. The Pelco-D standard is a popular protocol for controlling PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
