About VISIONTECHNIK
One point of contact. The right components. The right specialists.
VISIONTECHNIK is your technical partner for industrial machine vision and automatic identification.
We support machine builders, integrators and manufacturers in selecting and sourcing the right components - from the industrial camera through lens and lighting to code readers, line scan cameras, smart cameras, frame grabbers, cables and accessories.
We do not see ourselves as a pure online shop.
A successful machine vision application does not start with a part number.
It starts with a question:
What do you want to detect, inspect, measure or read reliably?
That is exactly where we begin.
Why VISIONTECHNIK exists
VISIONTECHNIK was founded in 2020.
At a time when many companies had to change production at short notice, automate processes and deal with difficult supply chains at the same time, our company grew out of a concrete need:
Industrial companies should get to the right technology faster and should not be left alone once they use it.
In the beginning we worked as a combination of integrator, distributor and reseller.
We supported our customers with automation projects, sourced the components they needed, helped with the technical selection and accompanied the integration.
That experience shaped the way we work today.
We learned that three things matter most to our customers:
- The right technology.
- Reliable procurement.
- And a contact who understands the application.
From integrator to specialist machine vision partner
VISIONTECHNIK has developed over time.
Industrial machine vision became a central focus of our company.
Today we concentrate in particular on the selection, technical coordination and procurement of machine vision components.
These include:
- industrial cameras
- area scan cameras
- line scan cameras
- smart cameras
- vision sensors
- code readers and code scanners
- machine vision lighting
- lenses and optics
- telecentric lenses
- filters
- frame grabbers
- lighting controllers
- cables
- accessories
On larger projects we also work with reliable integration partners and specialist companies.
That lets us bring in exactly the expertise a given task requires.
Our approach: the application first, then the product
Many products look similar on the datasheet.
In the real application, however, small differences can decide whether a system works reliably.
What camera resolution is needed?
Which focal length matches the field of view?
Which lens can actually make use of the sensor resolution?
Which lighting makes a scratch on metal visible?
How many pixels per module does a code reader need?
Is GigE enough or is a faster interface required?
That is exactly why we do not look at individual products alone.
We look at the complete interplay of camera, optics, lighting, speed, surface, interface and application.
Our goal is not to sell you just any camera as quickly as possible.
Our goal is that you get the right camera for your application.
Thinking across manufacturers
A technical solution should not depend on which manufacturer happens to be in the foreground.
We therefore look at different manufacturers, technologies and product classes.
Depending on the application, the best solution can be a compact industrial camera, a smart vision sensor, a line scan camera, a specialized code reader or a powerful CoaXPress system.
What matters is the application - not the brand on the housing.
Looking across manufacturers lets us weigh technical and commercial requirements together.
Personal advice instead of an anonymous product search
Of course you can search VISIONTECHNIK for a specific part number and request products.
But you do not have to know which product you need already.
You can simply describe your task to us.
For example:
- “I have to detect a 0.2 mm defect.”
- “This DataMatrix code has to be read on a conveyor belt.”
- “I need a camera for a 300 mm field of view.”
- “We have reflections on a metal surface.”
- “Our previous camera has been discontinued.”
We help you turn that into a technical product selection.
Procurement is part of the solution for us
The technically correct component is of little help if it is not available.
Sourcing industrial components has therefore been part of our business model since we were founded.
We help our customers to:
- source the products they need
- find suitable alternatives
- identify successor products
- match accessories and cables correctly
- extend existing systems
- coordinate different components with one another
For industrial systems that run for many years, that support can be decisive.
When standard is not enough
Not every application can be solved with a single standard product.
For more demanding tasks we therefore also support:
- technical specification
- feasibility studies
- application tests
- custom software solutions
- interfaces
- AI-based applications
- integration and commissioning
Our approach stays the same throughout:
As simple as possible. As extensive as necessary.
Integration with the right specialists
A modern automation application can bring together very different disciplines:
- industrial machine vision
- optics
- lighting
- software
- PLC
- robotics
- mechanical engineering
- electrical engineering
We do not believe a single company has to master every one of these disciplines equally well.
On larger projects we therefore deliberately work with experienced integration partners and specialist companies.
Depending on the task, we assemble the expertise the project actually needs.
For our customers that means:
One point of contact. The right components. The right specialists.
Technical knowledge is part of our service
Industrial machine vision can be complex.
Many questions come up long before the product selection:
- How much camera resolution do I need?
- What does mm per pixel mean?
- Global shutter or rolling shutter?
- How do I calculate the focal length?
- Which lighting suits metal?
- What does PPM mean for a code reader?
- How do you calculate the line rate of a line scan camera?
- When do I need a frame grabber?
That is why we are building an extensive knowledge base around machine vision and industrial imaging on VISIONTECHNIK.
Our aim is to make technical knowledge accessible in plain language and give our customers a better basis for technical decisions.
Knowledge should not be hidden behind an inquiry form.
What matters to us
Personal
Technical questions cannot always be answered through a product filter. We want to stay reachable and discuss applications together with our customers.
Fast
Industrial projects are often under time pressure. We therefore try to handle technical questions and procurement requests as efficiently as possible.
Across manufacturers
We take our lead from the application and consider different technologies and manufacturers.
Technically close to the customer
We want to understand why a component is needed - not just which part number to order.
Flexible
From a single camera to a larger integration project, we adapt the scope of our support to the actual task.
What we stand for
We want to make industrial machine vision simpler, more transparent and more reliable for our customers.
Not through unnecessary complexity.
But through:
- technical understanding,
- suitable products,
- reliable procurement,
- personal advice
- and the right specialists when they are needed.
From the technical question to the right solution
You do not have to know yet which camera, lens or lighting you need.
Simply describe what you want to achieve.
Together we will look at the technical requirements and find the right next step.
Three ways we can support you
You already know what you need
You have a part number or know the product family you need. We support you with procurement, accessories, compatibility and technical product questions.
You know the task but not yet the right technology
You know what has to be detected, measured or read, for example. We support you in selecting camera, optics, lighting, code reader and accessories.
You need a complete solution
On larger projects we look at the necessary technical scope together. Where additional integration expertise is needed, we bring in suitable specialists from our partner network.
