Objective:

To design a low cost industrial camera that:

• Performs closely to competitive devices.
• Is usable in a broad range of pick-and-place situations.
• Has model growth flexibility.

Design Features:

• Accepts standard lenses and mounts.
• Very low cost compared to competition.
• Structural stability high vibration environment.
• Corporate aesthetic theme.
• Aluminum extrusion, aluminum die cast.
• Electro-magnetic interference resistant.

Engineering Tools and Prototype Fabrication:

• 3-D Computer Aided Design, documentation.
• Acquire, evaluate prototype parts using 3-D files.
• Export 3-D files for printed circuit board design.

Manufacturing Support:

• Locate extrusion and die cast suppliers.
• Establish geometric tolerances for manufacturing process.

Materials/Process Selection Criteria:

• Cast and extruded aluminum alloys.
• Common aesthetic surface treatments.
• Chemically resistant vibration dampers.
