It is also important to select a lens that is suitable for the field of view in which
the camera should measure. Select a high-quality 1" C-mount lens that gives sharp
images and low distortion, as this can be essential for achieving a successful vision
application.
If needed, you can mount an optics protective cover that makes the camera compliant
with IP65 and IP67. For available brackets, filters, lenses, and optics protective cover,
see "Accessories", page 85.
Exactly how to mount the camera and the laser depends on a whole number of factors.
For more information, see "Range (3D) measurement", page 87.
6.3.1 Mounting an optical filter or a Scheimpflug adapter
On delivery, there is a dummy filter in the camera to protect the sensor. When you
mount an optical filter or a Scheimpflug adapter, you remove the dummy filter so that
the sensor is unprotected. Make sure to be in a dust-free environment and pay special
attention to cleanliness.
Mounting an optical filter
1. Use the provided tool and remove the dummy filter.
2. Mount the optical filter.
NOTICE
Do not remove the dummy filter without mounting another filter.
•
Using the camera without a filter can damage the sensor.
•
The distance from the lens to the image sensor is adapted to the thickness
of the optical filter. Without a filter, the focusing of the lens may not work
properly.
