4 ways to extend the life of your industrial camera

As the core component of machine vision systems, the important role of industrial cameras is self-evident. For most manufacturers, the production and shipment of industrial cameras are strictly inspected, and the quality is generally guaranteed. However, for your newly purchased product, a series of conditions may occur due to your misoperation, and a series of problems such as the need for repair may delay the project cycle and cause many losses. Therefore, for those who do not know the product, they should be cautious and master the use skills in the process of use in order to give full play to the maximum functional characteristics of the industrial camera and prolong the service life of the product.

    First of all, when the product is bought back, you should first read the instruction manual, and then follow the instructions to operate. It is easy to cause damage to the product, even damage.

保养 After using the product for a period of time, it is necessary to perform maintenance, and it cannot be used indefinitely. This will easily reduce the product function and life. Among them, the daily maintenance of industrial cameras is also very important. The correct maintenance method is a necessary means to ensure quality.

1. Suction suction: This method uses the suction of a turbo or piston type vacuum pump to remove dust on the surface of an industrial camera CCD. The working principle is the same as that of our home vacuum cleaner. Therefore, its advantages and disadvantages It is also consistent. The advantage of this method is that it is non-contact and does not damage the CCD. The disadvantage is that this method can only remove dry floating dust, but it is not very effective for dust and oil stains with adhesion.

2. Electrostatic adsorption method: This method uses the soft bristles with static electricity to adsorb the dust on the surface of the CCD of the industrial camera. This method has the same advantages and disadvantages as the suction suction method. When choosing which method to use, it mainly depends on which one. The tools are easy to pick.

3. Fiber cleaning method: This is a method that uses a soft microfiber material with a cleaning solution and penetrates into the interior of the CCD for cleaning. The active cleaning solution mentioned here is preferably pure alcohol with a concentration of more than 90%. Do not use isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol can absorb the moisture in the air, and it is easy to leave liquid traces on the surface of the industrial camera CCD when cleaning; Do not use methanol. Methanol is a highly toxic substance. The advantages of this method are no damage, easy operation, targeted removal, and a certain effect on oily dust. The disadvantage is that if this method is used improperly, it will be easier to clean and dirty, which is counterproductive.

4. Sticky sticky dust method: This method uses a rubber stick or a low-viscosity adhesive tape to remove dust on the surface of an industrial camera CCD. This method is simple to operate, but the effect is average, and it is easy to leave offset printing that is more difficult to clean after cleaning, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, this method is not recommended.
