Chapter 1 Introduction 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.
