How to Choose the Right Camera for Machine Vision Inspection Applications
2025-08-19
Selecting the perfect camera for Machine Vision Inspection can be overwhelming—resolution, speed, and compatibility all matter. With 20 years in industrial automation, I’ve helped countless manufacturers pick the right hardware. Here’s how to make the best choice for your needs.
What Camera Specs Matter Most for Machine Vision Inspection?
Not all cameras are equal. The BOJIONG CV-5000 Series is engineered for precision, but here’s what to prioritize in any system:
Key Features to Compare:
✔ Resolution – Higher megapixels (e.g., 12MP) capture finer details.
✔ Frame Rate – 60+ FPS for high-speed production lines.
✔ Sensor Type – Global shutter reduces motion blur vs. rolling shutter.
✔ Interface – GigE Vision or USB3 for stable data transfer.
| Parameter | BOJIONG CV-5000 | Standard Industrial Camera |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 20 MP | 5–8 MP |
| Max FPS | 90 FPS | 30–45 FPS |
| Shutter Type | Global | Rolling |
| Low-Light Performance | <0.5 Lux | >1 Lux |
Machine Vision Inspection FAQ: Solving Common Doubts
Q: Can I use a regular camera for Machine Vision Inspection?
A: No. Consumer cameras lack precision optics, consistent lighting tolerance, and industrial durability. Dedicated systems like BOJIONG CV-5000 ensure repeatable accuracy.
Q: How does resolution impact defect detection?
A: Higher resolution (e.g., 20MP vs. 5MP) lets you spot sub-pixel flaws—critical for electronics or medical device inspection.
Q: Is a higher frame rate always better?
A: Only if your line speed demands it. For bottling plants, 90 FPS prevents missed defects. For slower assembly, 30 FPS may suffice.
