Complex machines and systems require numerous sensors to detect the orientation and position of system parts and/or products. Conventional image processing systems are often too slow and inflexible if adaptable arrangement of measuring points and easy system conversion are required.

Opdi-Tex\'s stereo camera offers numerous options for production and tool monitoring. It may be used as a stereo camera with pattern recognition or as a multiple photoelectric switch, replacing up to 30 photocells at once. Unlike common reflex switches, the camera is able to detect and track the distance to an object. The complete two-eye camera system contains integrated multi-color LED illumination with a special controller for a fully synchronized image acqusition from both cameras.
