Machine vision equipment calculations, selection, and comparisons — free and unrestricted.
Use these tools for preliminary calculations, component selection, specification comparisons, and calibration target generation. An MVisionPro engineer can review the results and proposed components.
Enter the inspection area, minimum defect, working distance, and conveyor speed to calculate the required resolution, focal length, and exposure time, and find camera and lens pairs.
Enter a Basler, Cognex, FLIR, or Daheng model to compare Hikrobot candidates: see which specifications match, which differ, and which are unknown. If no suitable candidate is found, the result explains whether the cause is a mismatch or missing data.
Each sensor has a page listing all our cameras that use it, with resolution, interface, and frame rate. From each row, open the catalog entry or the lens calculator. Sony IMX, Gpixel, and onsemi—48 sensors.
Generate an accurately scaled SVG checkerboard, circle grid, asymmetric circle grid, or ChArUco target, with a reference ruler to check that the printer did not rescale it.
Build a system step by step: camera → lens → frame grabber → cables → power supply. See which component combinations meet the checked requirements, which conflict, and which still need engineering review.
Enter the resolution, frame rate, and camera count to see which interface can handle the load, with aggregate bandwidth verification and frame grabber selection.
Enter the web width, defect size, and line speed to calculate the required line rate with margin, select one camera, and determine the available exposure time, operating mode, line illumination direction, optics, and encoder.
Send the link to a colleague and they see exactly the same inputs and result. There is also a PDF and a one-click request. We found that combination in just one of 60 tools.
In our worked example, the simplified focal-length formula overestimates the thin-lens result by 8.4%. We use the thin-lens equation and state its assumptions; the selected lens still requires verification against its datasheet.
All tools use the same catalog and formulas. An engineer verifies the calculations; they do not replace engineering review.
