Machine vision controller or smart device – what’s the difference?
Machine vision controllers centrally process image and profile data from several sensors, while smart devices take over the evaluation directly in the sensor. Both solutions enable flexible and efficient machine vision – depending on the complexity of the application.
AI model or neural network – what’s the difference?
AI models and neural networks form the basis of modern industrial image processing: They detect objects, classify errors and make decisions automatically – intelligently, adaptively and future-proof.
How can scratches and dents on large metal surfaces be reliably detected?
2D/3D profile sensors enable the precise detection of scratches, dents and other irregularities on large metal surfaces – even in the presence of movement and reflective materials. They deliver micrometer-precise measurements, cover wide areas and ensure reliable quality control in industrial production.

Why does my weQube+ show RescueFS at startup – and how can I fix this?
If a weQube+ camera starts in RescueFS mode instead of the regular system, there is usually a problem with the firmware or the file system. This article describes the cause of this start-up behavior and shows a clearly structured procedure for restoring operability by means of a defined firmware installation.
Smart Camera B60 – intelligence and performance combined in one system
The Smart Camera B60 combines AI, computing power and flexibility in a compact vision system – for precise, efficient and future-proof industrial image processing.
How can a handheld scanner CSMHxxx from wenglor be reset to the factory settings?
Handheld scanners from the CSMH series can be easily reset to the factory settings. Step-by-step instructions explain how to use the reset button and power supply to restore the device to its factory settings – without any additional software.
How does an auto-focus work?
Sharp images at the touch of a button – even in industrial image processing Whether in the camera of a smartphone, a microscope or an industrial vision system – auto-focus ensures that the image is automatically focused. But how exactly does this work? And which technologies are used in industrial image processing? What does the […]
How can I combine several 1D/2D code scanners from the C5PC series via daisy chain?
Several 1D/2D code scanners from the C5PC series can be connected via a daisy chain structure to form a coordinated system. The article explains how the devices are electrically connected, configured with the Device Discovery Utility and networked as master and slave devices so that codes can be reliably captured from different angles and the data can be evaluated centrally.
Smart Camera or vision sensor – when do I choose what?
Smart Cameras and Vision Sensors are indispensable in industrial image processing when it comes to automated quality control, identification tasks or measurements. Both systems combine camera, evaluation and interfaces in one compact device – but what are the differences? And when is which system the right choice? What is a Smart Camera? Smart cameras are […]
