61Alvium USB Cameras User Guide V4.6.1
Compliance, safety, and intended use
Alvium cameras are manufactured to match the requirements of typical machine
vision applications. This enables a clean image for typical monitor view. Particles
may become visible when the image is viewed critically, such as with contrast
enhancement or edge detection.
Lenses
Maximum protrusion
The sensor, filter, lens, or camera electronics can be damaged if an object (typically
a lens) exceeding maximum protrusion is mounted to the camera. Use lenses with
a maximum protrusion within camera specifications. Figure 9 shows maximum
protrusion. For details, see Maximum protrusion for front mounts on page 230.
For S-Mount lenses, read Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses on page 266 to
avoid damage to the sensor, the electronics, and lens.
Mechanical components
Heat sinks
Heat sinks can be used to cool the camera for safety and to improve image quality.
Adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the heat sink.
Advanced sensor cleanliness
