Picking your Sensor Size

Choosing the right sensor size is crucial for achieving optimal performance in machine vision applications. So how do you pick the perfect sensor size for your machine vision system? First, let's consider the size of the object we will be inspecting.

Is the object small, medium, or large? For smaller objects requiring higher resolution, it is best to select a sensor with a smaller pixel size and a higher megapixel count. A larger sensor size may be necessary for capturing a wider field of view or for applications requiring longer working distances.

Next, we assess the working distance and the field of view required for your application. We must also consider the speed and accuracy needed for your inspection tasks. This will play a major role when selecting the right sensor to maintain a faster readout speed and a higher frame rate, giving you the ability to enhance output and efficiency.

Selecting the right sensor size requires striking a delicate balance between performance, cost, and specific application requirements. Therefore, with careful consideration and the right sensor size, you can attain unmatched precision and dependability in your machine vision setup.
