Zhaolong CameraLink Series Cable Assembly, Help Build the Bridge of Data for Industrial Cameras

The visual inspection system employs industrial cameras in lieu of human eyes to carry out functions such as recognition, measurement, and positioning. Commonly, the visual inspection system is constituted by a combination of cameras, lenses, and light sources. Moreover, it can substitute for manual inspections of elements such as bar code characters, cracks, packaging, the integrity of surface coating, dents, and so on. The application of the visual inspection system can effectively enhance the inspection speed and accuracy of the production line, significantly boost production output and product quality, considerably reduce labor costs, and effectively prevent misjudgments caused by human fatigue.

It is by no means an exaggeration to assert that in the contemporary era of rapid evolution in Industry 4.0, industrial visual inspection has emerged as the key to enhancing production efficiency and guaranteeing product quality. During this process, a high-quality industrial CameraLink cable, just like a highway for data transmission, effectively ensures that every piece of image & information can be accurately, rapidly and stably transmitted.

CameraLink Cables, the Key to Connecting to“Artificial Eyes”

Aimed at satisfying the needs of high-speed common connectors for industrial digital images and video market, the CameraLink Connector Standard Protocol was put forward by several famous manufacturers in 2000. Based on Channel Link technology, the protocol adds differential signal line and defines coordination standards and simplifies the signal transmission between cameras and image capture cards.

In order to improve the transmission efficiency, CameraLink can be divided into Base, Medium, Full and Deca and other configuration mode according to usage requirements. These modes differ in transmission speed and functions to adapt to various industrial application scenarios.

Through adopting low-swing differential voltage technique, it can reduce noises and decrease the amount of cables, covers images and data, clocks and control signals. CameraLink has become the key technique of ensuring effective and accurate image transmission in industrial vision field by its excellent performance.

The CameraLink Cable Assemblies are born in under this circumstances. It is the right-hand man of industrial vision test, with excellent high-speed data transmission ability and the capability of quickly and stably transmitting a great many images and information and ensuring the timeliness and accurateness of data in complex and highly-precise vision test tasks. Its anti-electromagnetic interference performance is of first rate, ensuring the clearness and stability of signal in an environment with severe electromagnetic interference. Besides, the durability of cables is great.  By adopting high-quality materials, its compression resistance, tensile strength and wear resistance are superior. And it can adapt to sever conditions, too. Moreover, its compatibility are excellent, i.e. it can perfectly match to various cameras and equipment. In conclusion, the CameraLink cable assemblies are key elements of improving detection efficiency and product quality in the industrial vision field.
