Consulting for industrial machine vision

One point of contact. The right components. The right specialists.

A successful machine vision application does not start with a part number.

It starts with a question:

What has to be reliably detected, inspected, measured or read?

VISIONTECHNIK supports companies in selecting and specifying components for industrial machine vision and automatic identification.

From the industrial camera through lens and lighting to the code reader, frame grabber, cables and accessories, we look at the application as a complete system.

What we aim for:

From the technical question to the right solution - without being tied to one manufacturer and without unnecessary project complexity.

Technical advice that starts with your application

A camera can look perfect on the datasheet and still be unsuitable for a specific application.

A reliable machine vision system needs several factors to fit together:

  • field of view
  • required resolution
  • smallest inspection feature
  • working distance
  • object speed
  • sensor size
  • lens
  • lighting geometry
  • wavelength
  • interface
  • triggering
  • software
  • integration into the machine

That is why we first want to understand what you are trying to achieve.

Specific products come after that.

Faster to the right machine vision solution

Customers come to us from very different starting points.

Some already know the exact part number.

Others only know:

  • “I have to detect this defect.”
  • “This DataMatrix code has to be read reliably.”
  • “I need a camera for this field of view.”
  • “Our current solution is not running reliably.”

We are the right partner in both situations.

You can source specific components from us - or describe your application and work out the right technical solution together with us.

What we do for you

Selecting components

We help you select:

  • industrial cameras
  • area scan cameras
  • line scan cameras
  • smart cameras
  • vision sensors
  • code readers
  • machine vision lighting
  • lenses
  • telecentric optics
  • filters
  • frame grabbers
  • lighting controllers
  • cables
  • accessories

We look at products across manufacturers and base the selection on the technical requirements of your application.

Specifying applications technically

Where needed, we help calculate and select:

  • camera resolution
  • mm/pixel
  • pixels per module for codes
  • field of view
  • focal length
  • working distance
  • sensor size
  • exposure time
  • frame rate
  • line rate
  • data rate
  • lighting
  • interface

Many wrong decisions can be avoided before anything is bought.

Checking feasibility

Not every application can be judged from a datasheet alone.

For demanding tasks we therefore offer a feasibility study and application test.

The question is, for example:

Which combination of camera, lens and lighting makes the inspection feature reliably visible?

Developing custom software

Where standard software is not enough, we can develop custom software solutions.

These include:

  • machine vision software
  • camera integration
  • operator interfaces
  • interfaces to other systems
  • database applications
  • web applications
  • APIs
  • AI applications
  • AI assistants and chatbots

For larger projects we draw on an experienced international development team.

Enabling integration

For smaller, manageable tasks we support you directly.

Where a project needs additional expertise in areas such as PLC, robotics, mechanical engineering or complex automation, we work with specialist integration partners.

That way we assemble exactly the expertise the task actually requires.

Why VISIONTECHNIK?

Personal rather than anonymous

You should not have to move between a ticket system, a manufacturer hotline and several different contacts. You can discuss your technical task directly with us.

Across manufacturers rather than tied to one

We look at different products, manufacturers and technologies.

What matters is not which brand is mentioned first.

What matters is:

What fits your application?

Technically close to the customer

We do not only want to know which camera you would like to order.

We want to understand why you need that camera.

That lets us see early on when the lens, the lighting or the interface should be considered as well.

Flexible about project size

Not every application needs a large integration contract.

We therefore scale our support to the project.

You only need one component?

We take care of selection and procurement.

You need a technical specification?

We support you with camera, optics, lighting and accessories.

You need a complete integration?

We bring in suitable specialists and integration partners where required.

One point of contact. The right components. The right specialists.

That describes how we work.

You do not have to find a new supplier, developer or integrator yourself for every technical question.

VISIONTECHNIK handles the machine vision side of the coordination and brings in additional specialists on larger projects.

The solution stays technically sound and the project structure stays manageable.

Three routes to the right solution

1. Product

You already know what you need. We support you with procurement, accessories, compatibility and technical product questions.

2. Application

You know your inspection task but not yet the right technology. We support you with selection, specification and, if needed, a feasibility check.

3. Project

You need a complete technical implementation. We combine our machine vision expertise with suitable integration and development partners.

You bring the task. We take care of the technical route.

Whether it is a single camera, a complete optical setup or a larger automation project: we aim to keep the solution as simple as possible and as extensive as necessary.

FAQ - consulting for industrial machine vision

What information does VISIONTECHNIK need for a consultation?
The most useful details are the field of view, working distance, smallest inspection feature, object speed, material or surface and any components you already have. If that information is not fully known yet, we can work it out together.
Does VISIONTECHNIK advise across manufacturers?
Yes. We look at different products and technologies and base the selection on the technical requirements of the application.
Can VISIONTECHNIK integrate complete machine vision systems?
Depending on the project we do it ourselves, or we work with specialist partner companies on larger integrations.
Can I buy individual components only?
Yes. You can source individual components and still get technical support in selecting them.
