Vision MINI

World's Smallest Machine Vision System

Vision MINI is the world’s smallest fully functional machine vision system. It has a full suite of vision tools, plus integrated lighting and autofocus, all packed into a tiny smart camera.

For common applications and beginners to vision, the Vision MINI includes simplified AutoVISION™ software. For machine vision experts and more complex applications, the Vision MINI can also run the full advanced toolset of Visionscape® software.

Compared to small vision sensors that perform one specific task, the Vision MINI provides a full suite of machine vision tools to solve many diverse tasks and applications.

Vision MINI is ideally suited for OEMs who need to embed vision functionality into their instruments or machinery.

• Ultra-Compact Shape and Size
• OEM-Ready For Easy Installation
• Complete with Processor, Autofocus Lens, and Illumination
• Simplified Programming with AutoVISION
• Advanced Programming with Visionscape		    

The Vision MINI smart camera is designed specifically for reliable vision performance in embedded identification and inspection applications. As the world’s smallest fully integrated vision system, the Vision MINI’s ultra-compact size and wide angle optics provide the best performance available for machine vision tasks at close range.

With the Vision MINI, OEM design engineers can quickly implement robust inspection, color matching, symbol decoding, OCR and more in a single compact vision solution. 

World's Smallest:  The Vision MINI is the world’s smallest fully integrated vision system. Its compact size allows flexible positioning in tight spaces. The lightweight and durable magnesium alloy case weighs less than 2 oz.

Powerful Capabilities:  Features a robust tool set to address a wide range of automation challenges
using vision technology. AutoVISION software provides an intuitive interface, step-by-step guides, and a library of presets that allow easy set up and deployment. Visionscape software is available for advanced users and more complex applications.

Long Term Availability and Reliability:  The Vision MINI delivers both high performance and reliability, along with the assurance of long term availability and support. This is essential for OEMs, who require uninterrupted availability throughout the lifecycle of their products, and enables them to focus on new development instead of obsolescence issues.
