Camera Accessories
This topic provides selection guidance and detailed descriptions for the accessories of the Mech-Eye Industrial 3D Camera.
Accessory Selection Guide
After selecting the appropriate camera model, you also need to choose the camera accessories based on actual requirements.
-
1 Power module
-
2 Camera Ethernet cable
-
3 Calibration board
The power module is used to power the camera. Mech-Mind offers two power supply options: 24 VDC power supply and power adapter supply. Please choose one of the solutions based on your actual requirements. In industrial applications, it is recommended to use the 24 VDC power supply solution.
-
In the 24 VDC power supply solution, the power module consists of the camera’s DC power cable and a DC power supply device (such as a DIN rail power supply). For detailed selection guidance, please refer to Power Module Selection for the 24 VDC Power Supply Solution.
-
In the power adapter supply solution, the power module consists of the power adaptor and the AC power cable. For detailed selection guidance, please refer to Power Module Selection for the Power Adapter Supply Solution.
The camera Ethernet Cable is primarily used to connect the camera to an industrial PC (IPC) or other network devices, enabling data transmission. The camera must use the Ethernet cable provided by Mech-Mind. Based on your actual needs, you can choose the appropriate connector type and cable length. For detailed selection guidance, please refer to Camera Ethernet Cable Selection.
The calibration board is primarily used for camera intrinsic parameter check, intrinsic parameter correction, and hand-eye calibration (suitable for 3D Robot Guidance scenarios). For detailed selection guidance, please refer to Calibration Board Selection.
If the camera is used in scenarios such as 3D robot guidance or 3D measurement and inspection, other accessories, such as an IPC and a license dongle (software licensing device), should also be selected based on project requirements. For detailed information, please refer to Select Other Accessories.
Power Module Selection
Please choose the appropriate power supply solution to determine the power module.
24 VDC Power Supply Solution
In the 24 VDC power supply solution, the power module consists of the camera’s DC power cable and a DC power supply device (such as a DIN rail power supply).
DC Power Cable and DC Power Extension Cable
It is recommended to use the cables provided by Mech-Mind for cameras. In scenarios where installation methods such as track chains or dresspacks are used, DC power extension cables can be used for segmented wiring. Mech-Mind offers DC power cables and DC power extension cables with M12 connectors in two types: straight connector and right-angle connector, and with various length options available for selection. Please choose the appropriate model of the DC power cable and DC extension power cable based on your requirements.
