In automated lines moving fasteners, connectors, or stamped parts, image distortion often leads to missed defects or incorrect rejection decisions. The UI-3134LE VU captures each object in a single exposure using a global shutter, ensuring sharp images even at high belt speeds. High frame rates allow continuous inspection without gaps, while precise triggering aligns image capture with object position. Short exposure capability freezes motion completely, enabling dependable detection of dimensional errors, surface flaws, or orientation issues without reducing throughput or adding mechanical complexity.
Robotic handling systems rely on accurate visual feedback to prevent misplacement and gripping errors. The camera’s global shutter preserves true object geometry while both the robot and target items are in motion. Stable image timing allows vision software to calculate exact positions for guidance and verification. Its compact size supports mounting close to the working area, improving calibration accuracy. Real-time image transfer and reliable triggering help confirm object presence, orientation, and placement, reducing downtime and improving overall automation efficiency.
Laboratory automation systems frequently move trays, vials, or carriers at high speed between processing stations. The UI-3134LE VU ensures distortion-free imaging during movement, which is essential for accurate tracking and verification. Adjustable exposure times accommodate changing lighting conditions, while region-of-interest control increases frame rates for focused analysis. This combination enables consistent monitoring of sample position, movement timing, and process flow, supporting higher throughput while maintaining measurement integrity and traceability in controlled laboratory environments.
OEM machinery often has limited installation space and strict power budgets. The compact design and low power consumption of the UI-3134LE VU make it suitable for embedded vision inside tightly enclosed systems. Its global shutter sensor delivers reliable images of moving mechanical parts such as rollers, belts, or actuators. Simplified connectivity reduces system complexity, allowing manufacturers to integrate visual inspection, monitoring, or feedback functions without redesigning existing machine layouts or increasing thermal load.
Inspecting reflective or low-contrast surfaces often requires precise lighting control. The camera supports accurate synchronization between exposure and external strobe illumination, ensuring consistent lighting for every frame. The global shutter captures the entire scene simultaneously, preventing uneven exposure artifacts. Short exposure times combined with controlled flashes improve contrast and image repeatability. This approach is effective for inspecting printed markings, glossy materials, or fine details on moving products, resulting in more stable inspection results and higher detection reliability.
