What Is a Machine Vision Controller?

Machine vision controllers are computers used in demanding and industrial environments. Unlike traditional office computers, machine vision controllers offer high uptime, fail-safe continuous mode, higher IP ratings, robustness against vibration, dust, or extended operating temperature ranges. Applications include production facilities in a wide range of industries such as automotive, metal, logistics, food, pharmaceuticals and energy.
The Difference Between Machine Vision Controllers and Smart Devices

Machine Vision Controllers

Smart Devices
Suitable for applications where only one camera or profile sensor is required for evaluation
Image and profile evaluation takes place on pre-installed software in the camera or in the profile sensor
Result output via integrated interfaces
No additional machine vision controllers required
