Smart Camera B60 – Next Level Machine Vision
The smart cameras from the B60 series combine high-performance intelligent cameras for industrial image processing with the powerful uniVision software. In addition to the proven advantage of a smart camera of combining image recording and evaluation in a single housing, the B60 offers optimal performance and modularity.
Powerful Hardware – Unique Computing Power and High Modularity
- First-class performance with significantly improved power compared to the commercially available smart cameras provides solutions to complex image processing tasks that could previously only be resolved with PC-based vision systems
- Variants with auto-focus or C mount ensure that the image processing system can be individually tailored to the application challenge
- Tool-free and fast installation of lighting modules, filters, lenses and other additional components makes setup easier and optimizes image recording
uniVision 3 Software – Modular Principle and Easy Parametrization
- Wide range of pre-defined projects (templates) for easy and fast solutions for standard applications, e.g. reading codes, checking for presence, detecting patterns and much more
- Extensive module collection with adjustable and freely deployable modules in variable order and quantity per project
- Easy-to-use image processing tools paired with individual programming
Robot Vision with the B60 Smart Camera
Numerous standard interfaces to robots from different manufacturers enable direct communication between the smart camera and robot systems – without programming knowledge and effort. This means that pick-and-place applications can be implemented quickly, easily and flexibly without having to develop specific interfaces or use other hardware such as PLCs. Professional calibration targets and predefined calibration routines enable precise calibration in just a few steps and save the effort of converting camera coordinates into robot coordinates.
Numerous standard interfaces with sample programs facilitate initial start-up regardless of the robot manufacturer.

- 通过六个 LED 灯清晰显示 I/O 状态，便于在操作过程中进行功能监控（例如检查开关设置、设备配置或控制器编程）
- 使用双色测试对象状态 LED 灯（绿色表示合格件，红色表示不合格件）实时输出被检测对象的状态；方便图像处理应用的设置和验证（例如：检查假阳性或假阴性结果以对摄像头进行精调）
High Performance and Lightning Fast Auto-Focus
- Durable Piezo auto-focus for fast and silent focus
- Enables reliable reproducibility of set positions
- Two different aperture angles (narrow and wide) to cover the most common application scenarios in machine vision
Keeping the Situation Under Control at all Times – Smart Camera with Gyroscope
The gyroscope installed in the smart camera enables reliable condition monitoring of the machine vision device. The position of the camera may be accidentally adjusted during cleaning or maintenance. The position sensor detects the unwanted position deviations and outputs these via the device status LED. Shocks or vibrations are also detected. This makes it easy to locate the source of the error, i.e. the incorrectly positioned camera or blur caused by vibrations.
The sensitivity can be precisely defined by the flexible setting of limit values. Data on position (x,y) and acceleration (x,y,z) is available for further use and can be optionally output.

Lighting Options for Every Application
The highly modular smart camera B60 offers optimal illumination for every application area – in the auto-focus variant with integrable illumination modules and also as C mount with freely selectable and easily connectable external illumination.
Lighting Modules for B60 Auto-Focus that Can Be Changed without Tools
Different applications often require different lighting colors. Special lighting modules have been developed for the smart camera B60, which can be securely attached in just a few simple steps thanks to the built-in thread – without the need for screws or tools!
Key benefits at a glance
- Identical lighting modules in different lighting colors (white, infrared, RGBW) for optimal adaptation to the ambient conditions of the application in question
- Illumination color of the RGBW illumination module can be adapted individually via the uniVision software
- Matching magnetically mounted filters are available for all lighting modules
Plug and Play – Easily Connectable External Illumination for B60 C Mount

Which Type of Camera Is Suitable for Which Application?
Depth of focus is also crucial when selecting the right smart camera. This is usually larger for devices with C mount. A suitable variant is available depending on the requirements for the visual field and working distance.
Auto-Focus Narrow
For different mounting positions with variable working distance and/or variable visual field (object size)
Auto-Focus Wide
For space-saving mounting positions with variable working distance and/or variable visual field (object size)
